10 Reasons My Life Doesn't Suck--Part 1

Do I only blog when I’m unhappy? Do I only have interesting things to say when my little apple cart has been upset, or when I’m embroiled in a middle school psycho drama that is not of my own or on the odd occasion when my good intentions have been misunderstood as disrespectful and predatory? Hmmmm…

Therefore, once a week, I am going to do a “Top 10 Reasons My Life Doesn’t Suck” list. Doesn’t that sound like fun?

1. My family is mostly healthy and they are all beautiful except for that third cousin twice removed living in the Louisiana swamp on a pontoon boat slash modified half-wide with his baby mama and her mouth-breathing boyfriend. He’s not too cute, but he does the best he can with a lazy eye and his striking resemblance to a weiner dog.
2. No one close to me, including me, has been arrested this week.
3. I didn’t die in a fiery car crash going to or from work this week.
4. My hair has volume and is trendy. Everyone says so and if everyone says so, it must be true.
5. My bills are mostly paid.
6. I heard from all 3 of my daughters this week.
7. I have a job and I don’t currently hate it.
8. I know I am loved…it may not be said often or directly, but I know it for a fact and that’s all that matters. Well, it would be great if the person who loved me actually knew and believed it as well, but…semantics.
9. I didn’t freeze off any necessary body parts last weekend when I ill-advisedly stepped into the ocean.
10. I am the proud possessor of a black string bikini and about 20 pounds TOO much Sharon to wear it in public, yet I did and I do…that rocks….right? Like I’ll ever see those horror-stricken people again..pfft….

Looking back over this list is semi-depressing. I am lucky and blessed and I know it!
