It cracks me up that people call Wednesday "hump day" and that Flight of the Conchords have a song called "Business Time" coincidentally about Wednesdays.
Just saying.
So I was thinking today of my blessings. I think that this year I have had more than I first recognized. I was stressed at the beginning of the year...a husband with torn quad and surgery, a son with broken arms, a grad class that was kicking my arse, but it is not in my nature to be negative or let stuff get me down. I started thinking this fine Wednesday about all of the things I am lucky to have and thankful for.
1. A great kid.
2. A loving husband.
2. Amazing parents, siblings, nieces, grandmothers, aunts, uncle, cousins.
3. A gummy bear. (My brother and sis-in-laws term for their wee baby...in utero)
4. My friend Adam, wise sage that he is. He is such an incredible addition to my life, and the kind of friend you have your whole life and grow old enjoying wine and life with.
5. Steph's grounding influence in my life and her friendship. Another keeper...
6. The chance to get to know some amazing kids.
7. Influencing people, one hippie statement at a time.
8. A compassionate heart and mind.
9. My Emily...(not the niece, the "good daughter" my friend since forever) being close in body now not just spirit.
10. Karen and her great work with H.D., she makes such a difference in his life.
I am sure I could continue the list, but the point here is there is a lot to be thankful for, a lot to remember when the weight of negativity attacks me...when the outsiders in my life start to bring me down.
