Princess Gloom and Doom Makes a List

  After a horrible week of uneasiness and general unhappiness, I vowed to make a list of random things I am thankful for.  So here goes....

  • That I sleep like the dead
  • For the people who accept my brand of quirkiness
  • That my eleven (yes I said eleven) tomato plants are growing
  • For my twenty year old fan that still lulls me to sleep every night
  • That I have a table with umbrella in my tiny back yard
  • For the farmer's market
  • For my garden
  • For interesting and hilarious friends
  • That my dad has a sailboat
  • That crying really does bring relief
  • That I have everything I need
  • That I still find people intriguing
  • That everything is so green and lush right now
  • For Bloody Marys in the evening
  • For my new knife
  • For silliness
  • For coffee
  • For fireflies that land in my hair
  • That my dog and cat sleep on the bed
  • For still being able to be surprised
  • For music
  • That I still have patience
  • For poetry
  • For Pie, For Pie, For Pie
  • That writing always helps
  • That I still like to question and ponder
  • That I am not numb to the world
  • For lemonade, sweet tea, orange, vodka and gin
  • For basil and pesto
  • For photography
  • For Sunday 
  • For my kitchen
  • For Ms Martha Stewart's Pie and Tart Cookbook
  • That there are flowers growing in my yard
 
   It's a self indulgent exercise.  But it did seem to help put my unhappiness into perspective.  There is a lot of greatness in my life, actually. I hope there is in yours too.
