1. Beautiful, beautiful day.

2. Job with paid sick days so my cold today means I'm home but still paid. Blessing.

3. Oldest kid is making really really solid choices and is launching into the adventure and story that will be his own life

4. I'm getting older and chubbier but I'm still darn healthy and strong which is a blessing too.

5. My fridge is still working though it's had a death rattle for weeks.
