I got up at 4:30 am, it's freezing in my house, I'm throwing on my old clothes getting ready to go to work and mix paint all day - still wearing a little stain from yesterday that I missed in the shower and am too tired to try to scrub off, trying to figure out how am I ever going to be able to get anyone anything for xmas, let alone pay the winter bills, missing "Puppy" even tho I know she will be loved and spoiled, worrying about my nephew who is getting ready to deploy on his 2nd tour into the heart of the fighting in Bagdad(he's been training in Germany for something he can't tell us about - but it's not a good thing), thinking about the 2nd anniversary of my dh's death and 2nd xmas w/o him, and the first song that enters my mind is:
I feel pretty,
Oh so pretty,
So pretty, and witty and gay!
What the heck

! Jeeze, I need a life, or do I just have an overly positive attitude

. Oh, well - got a roof over my head and peanut butter in my tummy, at least for now, so all is well. For those who are feeling sad, try to find the bright side and look in that direction. Sometimes it's really hard, but you'll feel better. There are ALWAYS less fortunate people, so think of them and hopefully you'll feel a little better about yourselves. I hope you all have a great day
