Blessings

I read an interesting quote this week:  "If you look at what you do not have in life, you don't have anything.  If you look at what you have in life, you have everything."  How does that put things in perspective?  Sometimes we need to be reminded of those things that we do have.  I believe that is called counting our blessings.

After all these years it is official.  I am the coach of my softball team.  Even with these boys calling me coach it has never actually been on paper until now.  Parks and Rec has me listed as the coach for the league we will be starting in next week.  That's right I get to spend 2 nights a week with my big brothers for the next 6 weeks.

Have had several good chuckles from Thing 1 and Thing 2 in the last several days.  Oh, Thing 1 and Thing 2 are my daughter's sons, my grandsons.  Have also had a couple of really proud granny moments because of these boys also.  Had a friend ask me to convey to their parents (I had been bragging) that he thought they were doing a "damn fine job of raising those boys" and make sure you tell them I said so.  When he told me he thought Granny might have a little to do with it my reply was nope, it is their Mama and Daddy.  I get credit for their Mama.  I am awfully proud of her and the woman she has become and is still becoming.

Still trying to decide what I want to be when I grow up and where I want to live when I run away from home.  But for now I will focus on those things that I do have and not worry about what I don't.
