the_minx_17 asked for it, I'm going to do it. I think we all sometimes need to remember the positives in our lives, just to keep ourselves balanced.
Stake your claim on the positives. Find five and put 'em in your journal - without a fricking cut. Get your flist to do the same. Because, really, I need to read about the positives today.
And that is a direct quote from Minxie. So here I go...
(1) I have two very bright, very energetic, and very lovable kids who constantly surprise me with their ability to think their way through problems that would stump other adults, let alone kids. They keep me motivated and interested, and challenge me in ways I never expected, but thoroughly enjoy.
(2) I am married to a wonderful man who is as far removed from my dad as it is possible to be. He works hard and comes home to hang out with us, and enjoys it. He has stuck to me through thick and thin and proved to me that love is real and forever, believes in me when I need it most, and shares a love of the ridiculous that is very gratifying. He is most definitely my partner in crime!
(3) I am most fortunate and blessed to say that the woman who bore me is not only my mother, but a very good friend, too. I know a lot of women can't say that, but I can, and I know how lucky I am. She may drive me nuts from time to time, but I can always count on her to listen, and to make me laugh.
(4)There are two women in my life who have become closer to me than sisters. They both know me far too well, and I literally can not get away with anything around either of them. I met one of them when we were both twelve, and I met the other one when I was 42. I don't think my life would be the same without either of them.
(5) My life has its ups and downs, but mostly I am happy, I have a roof over my head, food on the table at regular intervals, a garden I love to work in, and something interesting to do every single day. It's a good life!
Now it's your turn!!
