Perspective

The last couple weeks I have been in a bit of a slump. No particular reason, just a little discouraged and sooo ready for spring! I meant to post at the time, but never got around to it. I'm feeling much better about life now, but I still wanted to post another little list of my every day blessings. I HAVE been accused of having a Pollyanna outlook (which is good I think), and I guess that's what this list is. For several days while feeling blaw, I would start focusing on good things I would add to a list. I've decided I just need to sit down and post a list like this every once in a while, even if it gets repetitive, just to keep things in perspective. So here it is - blessings that make my life good.

• My little "home"
• My family
• My sewing machine
• My favorite mug (It makes me feel warm inside to have my own special mug that my Momma got for me. When I'm feeling down or lonely or just sentimental, I can snuggle up with a warm drink and good memories.)
• A valentine announcing a new niece or nephew
• Good "old" friends
• Good "new" friends
• A large collection of photos and great memories to go with them
• Good health. I often stop and feel guilty after complaining about my headache or mild neck or knee problems. I look around and see people in wheel chairs, hospital beds, or just constant pain and my problems are really quite small.
• Internet. Yes, there are times I'm ready to save the extra money every month and be rid of the distraction, but with my family so far spread. . . It really is a life-saver! Getting personal e-mails from family and being able to collaborate on projects with my sisters via blogs, etc. . .
