"Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely . . .

. . . to be normal." -Albert Camus
I'm thankful for:

1. a down the street neighbor (Brandy) setting up an ice-cream social for neighbors to meet
   
2. making one step closer to talking to someone professional about this or getting other help
   
3. a good nap
   
4. again for Melissa
   
5. kids playing nicely outside
   
6. a friend finding out she's pregnant! Hurray for new life!
   
7. the smell of good food cooking in my kitchen. That's right my kitchen!
   
8. winging it on a meal and it being a hit!
   
9. starting work on a summer schedule
