what a terrible, marvelous day

I didn't get much sleep last night, but I got to wake up with 2 of the most important young men in my life; There was a ton of snow in my driveway that needed to be shovelled and I was able to shovel it; After the second shovelling, my back is quite sore, and stretching feels so good; I had lots of garbage to drag out to the curb and that's because I sorted and cleaned the basement (mostly); My Lucy barks so loud sometimes, and my dogs are such a comfort to me in so many ways; I have to get up early to be at the gym and get to work on time, and I love my job (I know you wouldn't always know that from what I say); This afternoon I broke a picture frame that I really like and I was able to glue it back together; I moved the furniture around in the basement and ended up with the sewing machine in front of the window; I have raised 4 kids pretty much alone and I like them and their spouses a lot! A really really lot; I am an addict and food is my drug of choice; When I'm clean, my brain works! I'm so very very blessed, elly "It is always the simple that produces the marvelous." Amelia Barr
