I need to post a list like this, desperately. Today is a Craptastic Tuesday and I’m ready for it to be over with already!

• Nikon D80 – of course!
• My doggies: Astro & Emma. They are such sweet, loving doggies.
• The husband. It’s hard to remember that we are going to run across these bumps in the road as we run through life. It’s just a part of growing up and living. I’m fortunate to have such a great person by my side as we search for a balance between treading water and sailing away too quickly.
• The sunshine. Because if it was cloudy on this very Craptastic Tuesday, I’m not sure what I would do.
• Water & Food. Sometimes I forget food is such a simple thing. Nourishment is such a very simple thing. Sometimes I get so caught up in the day to day grind that I end up feeling bitter because I just want a freakin’ taco already! And I want CHEESE ON IT. But I can’t because I need to lose weight. And darnit, that just stinks! But food and nourishment come from really simple, small sources. Eating a sandwich, a piece of fruit and some raw vegetables can fill my tummy up just as much as a taco WITH CHEESE! would.
• Nice customers. The kind who call back to THANK YOU personally for helping them out. These are the kind of customer’s that make this job totally worth it!
• Family. My Mom and Dad do so much for us that I can’t even begin to start to list it all. They are always there to help us or answer any questions I might have. I often feel like I wouldn’t be able to make it through this becoming an adult thing without them. They are my rock and I love them to pieces.
• The miracle of life! A few of my friends are recently pregnant and I am overjoyed for them. I think the whole process from sperm to egg to uterus to growing baby to giving birth is an absolute amazing process and really it is quite a miracle. I have hope that Gene and I can some day have this experience.
• We will always have each other. Money may be tight and there is always a time when it seems like everything is breaking at once. But at the end of the day when we lie down at night, we have each other. We have our love, our hearts, our souls. Even if we were living in a little shack and struggling beyond measure, we would still have each other.

There.. I think I feel a bit better now.
