counting blessings

not that i want to go all new agey or anything but i have been known from time to time to carp on about how under appreciated i am and how no one likes to be takne for granted and blah blah blah how-tragic-am-i. so i think it's probably a good idea to acknowledge at least occasionally how luckyy i am to know at least a few people who i cann walk up to (or email) on a bad day and with very little prompting get them say something nice about me. it is good to have friends. and one day i wil say something nice to all of you just to prove that this isn't a one way system. or at least, i'll put it on my list of things to do. and admittedly getting off the list (through completion) is harder than getting on the list but we all have to start somewhere. so there it is. being grateful and appreciative is now officially my 23rd most urgent thhing to do.
