It may seem silly to make a list like this but I think it helps if we write down the good stuff. Reminds us that it ain't all bad. :) Hope you are having a Fabulous Friday!!!! :D

I can actually say that I feel GREAT now. I was a busy, busy girl today.... -stripped my bed -folded and put away 4 loads of laundry -took out the recycling -ironed 5 shirts for Stew -unloaded the dishwasher -cleaned my bathroom -dusted -cooked & cleaned up dinner Whew! Now I can go to crop tomorrow guilt freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! :D

I feel better already. I've exercised, showered, dressed and Michelle's thank you is out the door. YAY! Now onto the laundry.....

I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. I am literally walking around with a scowl on. LOL! I need to snap out of this!!! I know why this is happening too. I have too much to do and not enuf time in which to do it. I need to make a list.... -photos to my sis -thank you to Michelle -birthday gift for Al -birthday cards for Katie and Al -put finishing touches on Natty's room -fold and put away laundry -layouts for SJ -layouts for lss -clean my bathroom -pix to Uncle Vinny -GO TO THE GYM!!!!!!!!! I need to lose 6 pounds! I've been carrying this extra baggage since last summer and my irregular trips to the gym are just not cutting it! I need to go everyday!! I eat well so the only thing to do is to get my butt moving. Maybe I'll start an exercise journal. Hmmm, anybody wanna be my exercise buddy? :)

My niece Nicole turned one on Friday and we had a big celebration on Saturday! I can't believe she is one already!?!? Here is my favorite photo from the big day...

I just got back from taking a class taught by Donna Downey. We made thee CUTEST mini album using Heidi Swapp frames that are not even available yet. And, I had an absolute blast doing it. Donna herself was worth the price of admission. She's talented, down to earth, funny and bubbly and happy and energetic. :) Good people that Donna D. :D I still need to add some embellies to my album but here are a couple of pix. Mo

I've decided to dedicate Fridays to feelin' good! I am learning to be an appreciator not a depreciator in life. I want to appreciate everything even the not so great. I want to be able to see the good in the bad and feel joy in my life. I want the value of my life to go up and I can only do this if I can find the good in the everyday. So, today as I was driving home from my errands I made a mental list of what I appreciate today: 1. Driving 35 on the back roads and enjoying the view (my town recently decreased the speed limit from 45 to 35) 2. Being able to drive with the windows down for the first time in a long time 3. Finding thee cutest little skirt for Natalie 4. Getting a gift for a friend 5. Kona gold coffee 6. Pink paint 7. Hard work 8. Friends 9. Two new cookbooks coming out soon! So what do you appreciate about today?

Pink and Green Pink and Green Oh how I love Pink and Green....

I am feelin' good today. I felt good yesterday. And I intend to feel good tomorrow. I am on a positive thinking kick and it's working!!! Believe me people!!! So my challenge to you is to feel good about yourself! What I'm going to tell you may sound weird but just trust me...it works. Whenever depressing or troubling thoughts enter your mind, repeat to yourself: I intend to feel good! I want to feel good! I will feel good!!! And just watch those ugly thoughts go away. Stay away from people that bring you down. Surround yourself with people and things that make you happy, that make you feel good. Life's too short!!!!! Live happy!!! Einstein said it best: If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at will change. Think Positive and Feel Good! Mo
