Gratitude is usually a pretty easy practice for me, because most days my life is all rainbows and kitty cats, but when one of said kitties keeps SHITTING ON THE RUG, I find myself feeling a little less serene. These are the days when I need to remind myself of the good stuff the most, though, yeah?
- An African Violet on sale for $2.99 at Hy-Vee. They must have known I needed just that little pick-me-up on my desk to help carry me through until spring (sigh...).
- My good health and the health of those I love most. That should be on the list every day.
- A husband who amazes me with his ability to help me look on the bright side, and who runs that Rug Doctor like No Other.
- An almost-two-year-old who delights me daily. We need to shoot some video of him counting to ten while it's still such a sweet novelty: "onnnnnne, twoooooo, freeeeeee, poooooouuur, piiiiiiive, siiiiiix, [skips seven], aaaaaaaaaaape, niiiiiiine, TENNNNNN!!!!! TENNNNNNN!!!! TENNNNNN!!!!! TENNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!" That last bit is always said in the silliest voice he can muster, running in circles, little arms waving over his head in a victory dance.
I'm missing everything good!!! You definitely need to video tape the counting and post it on youtube so that I can see it! I miss you.

Thanks for the sweet comment. I (we!) miss you, too.

I can't wait to see Jack perform his counting routine! When I close my eyes, I can just about imagine it. Sigh.....
