A Positive Post

I promised myself yesterday that I would post a positive note one of these days. Yes, I struggle daily with the after effects of dealing with our brain tumor journey. Correct, it does not leave me. And of course, Lou is always, always on my mind. Always. BUT, life is not all that bad. I don't want to give anyone the impression that I am totally falling apart. Not true. I'm coping, as they say. Some days are better than others. Some days are basically ok for the most part. No day is ever TOTALLY ok, but, that's ok. That's as it should be, that's as it will be. Life was never totally ok before all this either, right? But THOSE issues seem so so small now......anyway, the positive post! Here ya go: TOP TEN REASONS TO BE HAPPY TODAY (note, I do NOT know how to make this into an easy to read honest to goodness LIST, so sorry ). I type it like a list and it comes out all strung together. l. My little gurrrlll kitty was sooooo mushy to me last night. She is ALWAYS a bit standoffish. EVERYTHING has to be on HER terms (imagine that!). She NEVER jumps in your lap. Well, she did last night, TWICE actually. Bliss! 2. Hugs from my sons. They are the best (the hugs AND the sons!) 3. I got some messy paperwork done yesterday after much bureacracy. HATE THAT, but LOVE that it's DONE! 4. Driving my new car with the music cranked up and the sun roof open 5. My newest baby great niece who fell asleep in my arms on Sunday. 6. My nieces, all of them. The great nieces and their moms. They are like daughters (and ok, I guess grand daughters too), to me. 7. Trader Joe's flowers. One can actually afford to buy flowers weekly there! Thank you, Joe. 8. TWO HOURS of Grey's Anatomy tonight! 9. Female doctors. YOUNG female doctors (no, this has nothing to do with #8). I have two great female doctors who have children and therfore work three long days vs. five. I think this is wonderful. I must be getting old, but I can remember when all doctors were MEN. How on EARTH could a FEMALE handle being a DOCTOR ? I'm certainly glad we have figured THAT one out, and I LOVE that they seem to manage it ALL. Of COURSE they do. They are women after all. 10. Comments on my blog from people like EMILY. Wow, Emily, I don't know who you are, I would have loved to have met you on the walk. I am so sorry about your dear sister. I will keep her in my prayers. Thank you for reading. The sun is out. Gotta rally.
