I miss blogging

I am so happy that there is still some blogging going on here. Facebook has claimed most of my (limited) internet time now and it has been fun to catch up with old friends. It's easy to check in with my phone when I have a moment. But it doesn't allow for extended thoughts and the veil of anonymity that this medium allows for.

So I will be back trying to blog more. Last night I was reading through some of my posts in 2008 and relived the memories of that year. It felt good to do that and I laugh at some of the things I have written. The comments tab is new to me and I deleted the spam and was touched by all the comments that were given to me that year. Quake Shaken Momma, Dee, Day, Irish Girl, Galloping Cat, I've missed you all.

Blogging lives!

Be Grateful

I was browsing thru a women's magazine today and came upon an article about gratitude. It was unique for me in that it suggested to write the problem thing you have down, cross it out and the write an item that is counter to that for which you are grateful. So, I will try that here now:

One employee at my work has a bad attitude.

Everyone else I work with has a good or even great attitude.

Lou lou makes Valentines for me all year round.


OK, I'll do one more to make it a set of 3.

Dinner Table

Girls sitting at dinner table eating happily and hungrily tonight. What's for dinner? Mommy's homemade macaroni and cheese? Her wonderful tortilla veggie soup? He exquisite poached chicken with onion mushroom sauce and steamed rice? No, No, and No. McDonald's Happy Meals and corn on the cob from Long John Silvers. Drive thru dinner as one parent is out at a meeting and the other is tired.
