+ the second sunny day in a row
+ did not meet my April weight goal but am OK with that - renewed determination
+ my rhubarb is starting to grow - I love rhubarb and it's low calorie and low carb
+ 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

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.

Today I am feeling grateful for my husband and for all the rain yesterday and today. Rain has always been very calming and isolating for me and I want that right now.
