Today is the day, today is a day that should come more often in my life, today is all about counting my blessings. Yesterday's pout was needed but now it's time to kick into gear. I have so much to be grateful for, so all day long I will be focusing on all of that goodness.

Your list is wonderful. Good reminder that I need to be more humble and grateful.
I am glad you are happier today. I know what you mean when you need to feel sorry for yourself for a minute. Your list will keep getting bigger and bigger. How about 46. Blogs!
Wonderful list.
And I really need to get some good sheets.
Love it, love it!!!
Very good list! Thanks for the good reminders! And I might need to borrow the dog...my kitchen needs sweeping. Let me know if you want us to take him for a weekend. :o)
