So...here's a list of things that make me sad, each followed by something to be grateful for. (I like to try to end on a good note most of the time.)
1. I got a sunburn last week and I'm starting to peel. However, I have really great memories of the time I had with my daughter at the pool while I was getting the sunburn.
2. I skipped lunch and it's too close to dinner to eat now. However, my husband is taking me out on the town tonight while my daughter sleeps over at my In-Laws. Woo-hoo!
3. My mom has Stage 3 Cancer. However, she is such a young, strong, positive soul that she ends up encouraging me every time I talk with her.
4. I feel like I have a million things to do and I'm too overwhelmed to do them. However, I know my daughter won't be this little forever and it will get easier as time goes on and she starts school...so I will just enjoy every minute of her childhood.
5. My step-son is now 13 and it's hard to watch him make mistakes. However, he really is a good kid at heart and I believe he will always learn from the mistakes that he makes.
6. I miss my far-away family. However, I'm glad that I'm an independent and capable woman.
Okay...that's enough for today. Lists are fun. More to come later.

Lists AND positive realistic thoughts. YAY!!!! You're my type of person.
Thanks, lydia and ainslie. I can see lists becoming a regular yet random feature on my blog.
Ainslie, does anyone ever refer to you as Ainsley Jarvis? (It's from one of my favorite movies.)
