    Default Sunny Days (borrowed)

    Borrowed this from a blog I read.

    “The best things about sunny days is that they remind us that the gloomy days are only temporary. Take a minute to list thirty things that are great about your life (and the more trouble you have doing it, the more you need to do it!) Tuck your list somewhere safe and refer to it when you need a reminder that a sunny day is just around the corner… ”
    -The Rainy Day Book


    My list (in no particular order):

    1. Having a DH who is loving, caring and hard-working.
    2. My DD18, who is so full of life.
    3. My DD17, who doesn't have a mean bone in her body.
    4. My DMother, who is always there for me.
    5. My health.
    6. Having a home.
    7. My DBest Friend, who has been with me through thick and thin.

    17. A car to drive that is paid for.
    18. Being able to walk... I know folks that can't.
    19. Being a friend as well as a Mother to my DDs.
    20. Jesus Christ as my Saviour.
