Blessings

Today I am Grateful for ~

• My parents who will drive 17 hours to come see me (and Shaina and Richard, of course).
• That Easter dinner went well and the house looked nice.
• That several times, people said, "Good job."
• The birthday balloons and cake that Richard's sister Vickie share with me/us (her birthday is 8 days after mine).
• That all the snow that came down never quite stuck, allowing Richard to continue working w/Brad on their newest product release.
• Two blessings from my Dad.
• Mom's compassion and support.
• That Shaina seemed to relish her baptism.
• That my BF came to Shaina's baptism. We weren't expecting her, it was a pleasant surprise. Thanks Michelle!
• The way that my parents jump in and help, we make a good team!
• They opportunity to cry on Dad's shoulder.
• They way that they treat our dogs, letting them out when they need it. Disciplining them when they need it. Cuddling on the couch with them. Mom and Dad win the perfect "Doggie Grandparents" award.
• The way the dogs just accepted Mom and Dad as part of our "pack". I didn't have to worry about minding the dogs in addition to everything else going on.
• Shaina being a divine help on Sunday and without complaint.
• That everyone seemed to enjoy the dinners I made.
• Still really loving 40!
• Having my faith in my feminity and attractiveness renewed.
• The opportunity to be valuable to someone else and keep myself in check at the same time.
