an attitude of gratitude
When I gripe too much, am feeling pathetic or sorry for myself, or if I just feel like it, I will remind myself that life is good by listing seven things that I'm grateful/glad/fangirly about.
1. Steve and Lester F. and Doug and Mike B. for their kindness to my brother after his accident. Jimbo and I loathed each other, but it killed me when our cousins -- who I'd previously thought were Jimbo's friends -- never called or visited. But when his friends did stop by, my parents were able to rest in more ways than one. This younger sister remembers how Shannon and those four boys kept the wolves at bay after his accident ... at least for a while.
2. good friends, good theater, and good food on the best Valentine's Day I ever had
3. the rain
4. prayer
5. *points to icon* eye candy every Monday night
6. a thoughtful father whose brain works in a thorough and convoluted manner like mine; each of us knows that the other will get it -- whatever it is -- even if no one else will. (Except for House. He doesn't get why I like House.)
7. and because I can't shut up about it, The Vicar of Dibley
