Feeling better

Well, one of my resolutions at the start of the new year was to be more positive thinking throughout the year. Not that I'm a negative person, but I thought it would be a nice idea to think of at least one positive thing each day that would bring a smile to my face; something that would make me happy. Today I have 2: I'm feeling better today; my cough is still going strong but I have more energy today than yesterday. The other, more important thought for the day, is how my son always wakes up with a smile on his little face. Each morning when I go in to wake him, he always has a smile, sometimes a big one, sometimes a little one if he's really tired. Somehow, though he always manages to give me a smile & a hug. I just love that. It really starts my day off nicely and when I'm having a difficult day, I just think of his little face. So those are my happy thoughts for the day.

I'm hoping to get some stitching time in this weekend. I'm also going to try to post some stitchy pics here along with some links to my fave blogs & stitchy sites. That should keep me pretty busy.

Feeling sick

I'm so tired of being sick. We've all been sick at home with what seems like the flu for almost a week & I am just plain tired of it. My son & I were also sick in January. But, hey I quit smoking about 7 weeks ago, so I can't complain too much since I'm sure I'd be much sicker now if I were still smoking. Hopefully, I'll get some stitching time in this weekend. I really need to finish the quilt square for Laura's quilt project that a bunch of stitchers are doing for her family.

I also got a surprise post/e-mail from my cousin on MySpace. I have not seen her for years and I kinda dropped off the face of the earth for awhile & did not keep in touch the way I should have. She is doing well & has grown into quite the young lady. There are 13 years difference between us & I remember her as the little redhead who was more like my little sister than a cousin & now she's grown up into a redheaded bombshell :-) She's attending art school in Canada and enjoying life. She's so smart and has an amazing potential to shift the world off its axis! Love ya' Cass & I'm so glad that we're back in touch.
