I've been feeling so blue lately - everything in my life is fine and manageable, but for some reason, the blues are catching up with me! Nothing serious, but I decided that everyday either when I wake up or when I'm heading to bed, I am going to make at list of things that make me happy.

So here goes:
- the dogwood trees that are blooming now - one particular dogwood tree in bayfront park is stunning - I know it has weathered a lot of storms, and it's shape is still perfect and strong.
- my parents
- waking up early and greeting the day slowly, brewing coffee, shower, sipping coffee, and walking cash
- my walk with cash this morning: within the first 10 minutes he had eaten a flattened dried up frog (I had a cup of joe in my hand, so I couldn't get it out of his mouth quickly enough this time), we saw a varmot, which means that an alligator was not far behind, and we walked out onto the dock, where cash managed to roll in fish guts on the wood - gross! it still makes me laugh, though.
- listening to the live version of "fallen" my new favorite song
