Feeling Good

I'm sure the rest of you are not like this, but some days for me are pretty lousy. They are few and far between, but not fun when they come around. So, in an effort to perk myself up, I think of and mentally list all of the things that I am good at. This is that list, compiled.

• Reading


• Wearing slippers


• Eating cereal


• Taking a shower


• Bathing my kids - I'm not always calm, but I am efficient


• Finding random uses for old windows


• Persuading my husband to build a deck


• Looking at craigslist


• Painting - the project doesn't always turn out like envisioned, but it's painted


• Vacuuming - dusting, not so much


• Making a great batch of bread sticks


• Eating chocolate


• Impatience


• Thrifting, garage saling, estate saling


• Walking


• Trying on shoes at a shoe store


• Folding laundry - getting stains out, again, not so much


• Conversing


• Optimism


• Good ideas


• Remembering people's names


• Being tactless


• Growing grass in an enamel container on my kitchen table


• Getting rid of useless and unwanted items from our house


• Taking out the trash


• Remembering something about Bryce that I can remind him of at an opportune moment

I feel better already.

Hoping you don't have a lousy day,

Katie
