Inspired by my good friend over at Daily Dose of Diva, I am reminded to count my blessings. This dreary weather can get me in a down mood. A week of rain and gray skies! There are some additional pressures, but I'm going to stick with blaming the weather for right now.
The blessings:
- I have a brain. It allows me to absorb and synthesize new information, recall good times, and regulate all motor functions. Gotta love that.
- I'm with this guy. He's funny, extremely smart, very supportive, and he challenges me. We have a wonderful partnership and share a home with our strange, furry kids.
- The kids. Malai, the chihuahua, and Quadrapus, the Munchkin cat.
- The pets. The snake, the fish, the cherry shrimp, and the composting red wigglers.
- I have a beautiful start to a garden, with the help of some good people. I am making a healthy choice to grow my own food and to grow it organically with heirloom varieties.
- I have artistic skill and plenty of supplies.
- My car had to stay overnight at the shop recently. The bill ended up being $750.37. I am grateful that I had the wherewithal to save money and be able to pay the bill. I am grateful to have a running car.
- I am grateful for my job, and for the two future positions I have been offered.
- I am grateful for access to a gorgeous 400 acre farm, and friends who live or party there.
