Thankful Thursday

It's that time again.....In no particular order, here are things I'm thankful for today:
  1. A good attitude -- I sat next to a gentleman on the Metro this evening who was just miserable to be around. You know the old 'is the glass half-full or half-empty' question? Well, to him, it was definitely 7/8-empty. Ugh! I'm glad I can find the upside of most things.

  2. My pizza garden is growing -- what's a pizza garden you ask? It's a pot with 4 openings that came with seeds for a green pepper plant, oregano, basil, and parsley that I found on clearance at Tar-jay a few weeks ago. I didn't know if it's be any good or how long it'd been sitting on a shelf, but the pot was interesting & it alone would have cost me what I was paying for the whole thing, so I figured it was worth taking a shot on it. I haven't seen anything from the green pepper yet, but all of the herbs are clearly growing. Fresh herbs to cook with, alright!

  3. A boss who both trusts me & doesn't micromanage -- I've got a pretty big, high-profile project & he's given me the ball and is allowing me to run with it.

  4. Watching my senior dogs romp like puppies -- one dog is 11.5 yrs old; another is 9.5. To watch them romp on and with each other, you'd think you were watching pups of 9.5 and 11.5 months. I know I won't have them forever, but it's great to know they aren't acting old.

  5. Picking a paint color for the living room/dining room/front hall -- I've waffled on this for quite a while, not sure what I wanted to do in those areas. I now have "the vision" and have decided on the right color. Of course, that means I've got to find the time & make it happen, but it's gonna look fabulous once it's done!

So, how bout you? What are you thankful for today?
