I have come to the sound conclusion that I need to, at the very least, list off all the fantastically good that wraps me in love and smiles. This blog dictates a specific authenticity. Camouflaging my reality for a benefit of others would be impractical.
On any given day, when things are not necessarily going as smoothly as I want them to, or if subject matter brings me to pause, I often stop in my tracks and remind myself, "THIS is something to write about." I have to tell you, this happens many times throughout the day and as in picking the longest straw - only one subject matter is chosen.
Tonight, I nod my head in agreement, a smile warms my face and my toes tap to the music on my Pandora station.
2-1-12 Positivity
* Surrounded....surrounded in love and support. I feel it from those whom love me, care for me and know me. I am never alone.
* Pastors at church. The one absent from yesterday's meeting stopped me tonight on the church stairs, and still wants to connect, "Katie, I still want to find time to talk."
* Funny children that make me laugh.
* Fantastic, awesome, glorious family.
* Moments like this, where I can sit and breath and see this line that I am on in this tunnel and know that I am still strong in continued desire
* FRIENDS. You know who you are and i LOVE YOU!!!
* Music. The depths where music takes me. Gratitude for perspective
* Coffee. I am spending far too much on espresso drinks. If a 4.00 coffee can offer me a bit of perk to my day, I am all over it.
* I guess somewhere, I have to note the support of my husband. He has taught me much and if there is anything that I love him the most is that he has my back 100 percent of the time. He is not the most conversational husband, he may not be the most intuitive or the most romantic --- but I can emphatically declare that I have his support in anything I do. He continually allows me to fly and quietly gives me air.

* Natalie Merchant songs always make me smile:
-------ALWAYS MAKES ME SMILE --------
WONDER
O, I believe
Fate smiled and destiny
Laughed as she came to my cradle
Know this child will be able
Laughed as my body she lifted
Know this child will be gifted
With love, with patience and with faith
She'll make her way
People see me
I'm a challenge to your balance
I'm over your heads
How I confound you and astound you
To know I must be one of the wonders
Of god's own creation
And as far as you can see you can offer me
No explanation
To anyone and everyone reading this blog.... as always, thank you forevermore in listening to my thoughts, my diatribes, my rants, my perspectives, my quirky insights, my naive philosophies, and my need to put it all out there sometimes.
Katie
