+ found the perfect buttons for my dress for the wedding in June
+ a fun time expected at the shower this afternoon
+ a busy and maybe stressful week ahead but I can cope
+ the loons are back and making their twice daily commute between the lakes, making me smile
+ it's May so it MUST be Spring :encore:

* Grateful for my children. They keep me going and remind me to be THANKFUL for what I do have.

I'm grateful I was able to drive the kids to the DQ to use the buy one get one free blizzard coupon I had (in my name, hence my presence was required) and was able to walk away without slipping or rationalizing myself into even a mini...lol.

ruth, hearing about the loons is so neat. I remembering watching "On Golden Pond" and seeing the loons and Katherine Hepburn trying to do their call.

Grateful for:
-a day off tomorrow
-family
-HOPE
