Counting my blessings:
-Sounds lame, but I do have a "roof over my head", and it is pretty amazing since I was rendored homeless a little over a year ago.
-Loving and supportive family (they can be crazy, but I can't imagine life without them.)
-A job where I'm successful and appreciated for my efforts (despite the crappy pay, I could work any number of similar jobs and be quite miserable by comparison.)
-The sun is out on a semi-regular basis these days.
-I have an amazing love in my life and he really loves me too.
I'll try to revisit this concept more frequently..............

Purls of Wisdom
- You are what you repeatedly do. Excellence is not an event--it is a habit. --Aristotle
- We live in a world of theophanies. Holiness comes wrapped in the ordinary. There are burning bushes all around you. Every tree is full of angels. Hidden beauty is waiting in every crumb. Life wants to lead you from crumbs to angels, but this can happen only if you are willing to unwrap the ordinary by staying with it long enough to harvest its treasure. --Macrina Wiederkehr
- There are only two ways to live your life: One is as though nothing is a miracle, The other is as though everything is a miracle. I believe in the latter. --Albert Eienstein
- We could hardly wait to get up in the morning. --Wilbur Wright
- No one can tell whether they are rich or poor by turning to their ledger. It is the heart that makes a person rich. One is rich according to what one is, not according to what one has. --Henry Ward Beecher
- I love quotations because it is a joy to find thoughts one might have, beautifully expressed with much authority by someone recognized wiser than oneself. --Marlene Dietrich

- A friend is one who knows us, but loves us anyway. --Fr. Jerome Cummings
- The majority of husbands remind me of an orangutan trying to play the violin. --Balzac
- Die when I may, I want it said of me by those who know me best, that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower when I thought a flower would grow. --Abraham Lincoln
- We don't love qualities, we love a person; sometimes by reason of their defects as well as their qualities. --Jaques Maritain
- There never was a good war or a bad peace. --Benjamin Franklin
- Art, like morality, consists is drawing the line somewhere. --G.K. Chesterton
- Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon.
- The course of true love never did run smooth. --William Shakespeare
- To get the full value out of joy you must have someone to divide it with. --Mark Twain
- Everyone has a talent, what is rare is to follow the talent to the dark place where it leads. --Erica Jong
- When you love someone all your saved-up wishes start coming out. --Elizabeth Bowen
- May you live all the days of your life. --Jonathan Swift
