Tallying up the good.

So, I had a bad day and I chose my blog as the place to (as dh put it) - rant.

I know that I am fortunate. I am absolutely blessed. I know that. I had a bad day.

So, here I am, thankful and contrite.

• I have a handsome, smart, loving, sensitive husband.
• I have three beautiful, healthy, bright, inquisitive boys.
• I have my health (other than a cold, which is, not really a big deal, all told).
• We live in a lovely home.
• We live in a beautiful part of the country.
• My husband is good at and enjoys his job, and his job is stable.
• I have a good job that I enjoy and it is stable.
• We are comfortable and know that we can pay the bills.
• We have a loving extended family.
• Other than my occasional tantrums, we live mostly free of drama.
• I worry more about eating too much than too little.
• We are educated and our children also have that opportunity.
• We have clean running water, electricity, and a safe place to sleep.
• Our community is safe and friendly.

If you sometimes forget (like I sometimes do) how lucky you are, view the following youtube video about the "miniature earth".
