'Cause it's the kind of day that calls for a grateful list... For the good sweat workout I had at the gym that made me forget about work For my cats who came to greet me at the door like dogs even though they're still scared of the new house For the yummy salad with lots of cheese I had at lunch, and how it let me pretend it's summer For the lilac blooming in the back of the house For this amazing house that I can't believe I own For Jane at work who has saved my butt repeatedly this year (again today) since I got my over-my-head promotion For my wife who took the day off and did house things I hate, like hanging window shades For much-wanted pregnancy news from someone important. Anyone want to play along?

-------- COMMENT-AUTHOR: Anonymous COMMENT-DATE:8:35 PM COMMENT-BODY:That I have the ability to put this whole stupid mistake that I made, that basically outed me as a blogger to my daughter's friends, in perspective, and quit freaking out.

That I can work a run-on sentence.

That it's sunny.

That I have great blogging buddies like you. -------- COMMENT-AUTHOR: art-sweet COMMENT-DATE:10:42 PM COMMENT-BODY:I am grateful...

for aforementioned pregnancy news (although I hesitate to think of myself as Someone Important), but hey I had pregnancy news last week, and it's all about me, isn't it? Oh no, it's your blog, so it's all about you ;-)

for our wonderful friends, virtual and outside the computer, who have been so incredibly supportive throughout all this craziness

for my orange kitty who is snuggled up against me

for my garden and a beautiful day to be outside in it... -------- COMMENT-AUTHOR: Anonymous COMMENT-DATE:8:42 PM COMMENT-BODY:For my wonderful daughter and daughter-in-law.

For life - a few times I didn't think I was going to make it this far.

For your Mom's and my recent 33d anniversary, which we celebrated again last night with dinner at our favorite restaurant. --------
