Dark Chocolate

I love it, you know - deep, dark, mildly sweet with almonds.  Yummmm.

It has been quite a week, and tomorrow is Friday (already).  Frankly, I'm ready for it.  It has been crazy.  I noticed in Leigh's journal that she had included a few things she is grateful for, and that isn't such a bad idea. 

And so, I am grateful for:

Particulary, my two girls, Beth and Jessica.  They're bright lights.

Jessica's new job!

Dr. Templeton, for dragging me out of medical records and forcing me to walk at lunch time. Every day.  Rain or shine. Dang it all. For the talks we have, tossing ideas back and forth, and for the spirit of adventure.  You would not believe the things you can find between the two prisons!  Among them, a new friend/kindred spirit who carries an umbrella.

For the steam vent coming out of the ground between the two prisons.  Warms the hands on a cold day.

OTC cold medications.

That whatever is making the paint bubble behind my desk did not ooze out and eat me when the paint crew drilled a big hole in the wall to pack it with mud.

Dark chocolate.  It's better than wine coolers.

German coffee.  Smoooooooooooooooth.

Family. Good friends.  That I had opportunity to talk with Dr. H. this week.

You know, when you start counting your blessings, it's hard to know when to stop.  The list is endless...and makes the week seem not so crazy, after all.

Happy Valentine's Day, everybody.
