When crabbiness is swelling up and threatening to overwhelm you, it is advised that you make a list of 14 things that make you happy.

In short, it's good to give thanks.

Tonight's 14:

- the ability to write (a blessing in disguise?)
- an amazing coat to keep me warm when Dad abruptly flips the heat off.
- an hour and a half in a lovely coffee shop chatting with a friend
- a white mocha coffee (latte? cappuccino? who knows.) at said coffee shop
- fresh salad! (the "tomorrow" part in "eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we diet!" has arrived.)
- Mom said my hair looked like Molly Gibson's!
- hot tea and brownies (did I say something about a diet? I don't remember saying anything about a diet...) to help me push through a tough assignment
- NEURONS!! they make us work!
- the fact that I am single (oh, you don't know how thankful I am. Just get yourself an older sister who has a boyfriend and you'll be thankful too.)
- pink and orange highlighters! ("highlighter: -n. a felt-tip pen with a wide nib for highlighting passages of printed material in a soft, transparent color." Read: a desperate attempt to learn Psychology.)
- Corry Bouc, the best 4-H leader EVER.
- a brand new phone for FREE! (Mom: "I consider that a minor miracle.") And he transferred all my numbers - free.
- how easy it is to pick up a pair of shorts for Dad...I mean seriously! Just grab the right size and go. It's soooo simple!
- a planner which helps me keep track of every event, deadline and otherwise in my life at present.


As a bonus, I just got an assignment back from my professor, and at the bottom he wrote: "I’ve taken the time to give some extra suggestions on your writing and quoting style because I think you have the desire to learn and excel in any way you can. I’m pleased with your work and look forward to seeing more of it."

YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!
