Instead of my usual Eye Candy Friday post I am going to do a little something different. I am dealing with a couple of difficult things right now and one of the things that has always helped me find perspective during times like this,is to put down in writing 10 things I am happy/grateful for…kind of a redirection, so here I go:
1. A very kind, gentle and compassionate husband who always makes me happy.
2. 5 Amazing kids each so special in their own way with great senses of humor.
3. So many wonderful and caring friends…you know who you are. 🙂
4. The ability to work at home at my own pace doing something I love.
(most of the time anyways…LOL)
5. Being surrounded by things that make me happy and keep me sane; spinning, knitting and sewing stuff.
6. The beautiful mountain that I see every day that I drive into town.
7. Friday night martini's and nachos.
8. Music…it always makes me smile.
9. The yummy pumpkin chai candle that is always burning in my studio when I work.
10. The many wonderful friends that I have made through this very blog.
So many things to smile about this weekend….I hope you smile all weekend too!

Aren’t margaritas supposed to go with nachos??? Sorry! That was the first thing I thought of! I’m easily amused.
I hope things are looking up for you soon!
