May flowers

Hi friends,

Hope all is well with you! I have been super-slack lately with this blog. I don't know why...I've always got so much to be grateful for. I'm not even that busy right now. Maybe that's it. You know how the more you have to do, the more you seem to be able to get done? Maybe I've got too little on my plate. Should be the reason that I'm even better about coming here regularly, but apparently I don't work that way. Anyway, on to the reason I'm here. Today I'm thankful for lots including:

1)  a fun surprise visit from a friend last week
2)  the fact that the wool coat has been put away for the season. And not a minute too soon.
3)  sunshine and cool breezes
4)  no sugar for a few days...gotta break the cycle, and I'm doing it
5)  a whole stack of books that I can't wait to read
6)  the beautiful wedding slideshow that my friend and gorgeous bride Melina shared with me...I couldn't be there, but the slideshow is evidence of just how magical and beautiful their day was. Loved watching it.
7)  a delightfully magical dinner with "the girls" Sunday night...so much fun and such sweet, amazing chicas
8)  one less mad terrorist wandering the earth (God BLESS the US military.)
9)  good feedback from my clients (who may love me almost as much as I love them)
10)  a beautiful new day
11)  the gorgeous flowers all around - in the florists, in the parks, on the trees, everywhere...magnificent.
12)  a beautiful, sweet, magical royal wedding. Loved the dress, love the whispered sweet-nothings...loved everything...
13)  ...except the hat. Beatrice, what in the world were you thinking? Horrible but such a great laugh!!!
14) and finally, I am so grateful to be FINISHED with the WORST CLASS EVER. Seriously, every professor at the school dreaded teaching this group; they were the most immature group of students I have ever seen. Anyway, I am finished with them, I have graded their final exams, turned in their grades, and I am D-O-N-E done with them. Hallelujah!!!

Ok, had to make up a little for lost time, so went a little overboard today--a baker's dozen plus one. Hope you're having a wonderful week and have lots to be grateful for!
