June 8

I have a wonderful husband. I came home today to find grocery shopping done, dishes washed, dinner started, and a bouquet of spring flowers peeking at me through plastic wrapping.

I have a precious son, who says to me every night, "Oh Mommy.........I love you."

I have a wonderful family who makes me laugh. They have memories of me from the time before I had memories.

I have sparkling friends, both close and far away, who are never far away.

I have a beautiful house that gives me sanctuary.

I am healthy, despite some of the ways I've mistreated myself.

I can pay my mortgage, my car note, my light bill and have money left over for a pedicure.

I can tie a cherry stem in a knot with my teeth and fix a vacuum cleaner with a pair of cuticle scissors.


I think I'm a pretty lucky girl. I must remember that.

And be thankful.
