231st Post---Thankfullist

Well, it came to my attention yesterday after I sent an email to a fellow blogger, that when I went to type in my blog URL I realized that I had not blogged in over a month, completely skipped over April, as if it had not existed.  Can we say run-on sentence.  Why I don't go back and fix it is beyond me, but let's just chalk that up to laziness.  Anywho, the past several weeks have been anything but pleasant and I have not been the biggest trooper as I could have been.  I got a big ole' dose of "Meredith Get Over Yourself" from Mark last night and after a few more tears over the things I've been fretting about I decided that today I would blog.  I need to take the time to remember what things I DO have that are blessings and stop the woe is me attitude.  I am going to look on the brighter side of thing and today write out a list of things I'm thankful for.  Be prepared, you may learn some strange things about me.  I may also need to add or subtract from this list as I see fit.  :)

God!

Mark

Ella, Hayden, Macy
