Day 1

I am not a glass half full of person. I am more the glass is half empty and we are dying of dehydration person. As if worrying about possibilites will make them better,(Actually, some of my scientific friends tell me glass is always full, half water & half air!) I have read and heard that it is good for the soul to express gratitude every day for those good things in our lives.So it is my intent to verbalize or rather write, something everyday that I am grateful for.
Probably won't be every day but I'll try. Now the question is what goes first. My family of course but where to start. Scarlett seems the onbvious choice but.... It is incredubly stressful for me to even contemplate putting one family memeber before another. My parents were adamant that parents can't prefer one child over another. I could try chronologically or alphabetically( of course I got stuck in the A's).

On the theory of age before beauty I'll start with Mars, my husband of 33 years. In all this time I have never met anyone more interesting than he is. We've had our ups and downs; we've learned to compromise or pretend to, we have raised our wonderful daughters and he has worked so very hard to take care of us.I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that he loves me. He is much more sentimental than I.I can honestly say I have never looked at another man and thought I would be better off with him. After 33 years that's OK. I hope he can say the same.
