One of the Fortunate Ones
That would be me. I'm counting my blessings today. Starting with the most kind-hearted, caring husband ever. He's stuck with me through thick and thin and I love him for it. He saw a woman who's been living in her car - she was scrounging for pennies in her pockets to make a purchase at Wawa, and he left the store and slipped a $10 bill under her windshield wiper. Sat there to make sure she got it and that no one else helped themselves to it.
My sons - both are good kids and have never been in any trouble. The oldest has a sweet fiancee and they are getting married in August. My youngest is a gamer, but he works every day and there's never a nasty word out of his mouth. I've heard kids cuss their parents out and it makes me sad. My boys aren't like that. My dear grandson the J-Man was here today and he's a joy. I'm making a sweater for him. I hope he likes it. It will have a nice roomy front pocket to carry his little cars in. He's a car nut - he'll push his little matchbox cars around for the longest time. He chatters like a magpie. I just wish I could understand what he's saying. I pick up a few words here and there - shoe, sock, fish, cat, snack, drink.
I've been feeling better lately, too. The acid reflux that keeps me awake at night has been easing. I changed my medication and it seems to be working. Spring is on its way and my outlook is a little sunnier too. Work is going well and I feel appreciated, much more than I ever did when I worked in the other building I was assigned to.
My little buddy is here at my side. He's a good little dog, even if he is a little annoying at times.
I found a home for the hat I made, pictured in an earlier post. My dear son's fiancee stopped in and asked if I could make a hat for her grandmother, who is currently undergoing chemotherapy and has lost her hair. I was more than happy to give her the hat. I do hope that she likes it.
Times are tough right now, but we have a roof over our heads, food on the table and enough money to keep gas in the car, even if we have to cut back our weekend travels.

Thanks for reminding me to count my blessings!
