The small things

Because I like lists, here is a list of small things that I am thankful for right now:

• Daryn playing in her room and singing songs to herself all evening
• A new season of ‘ROME’ starts this Sunday
• The fact that with each crossfit workout I feel stronger and more fit
• David’s random hugs – and the fact that he tells me that he loves me several times every day
• My amazing friends and colleagues who continue to inspire me every day
• The upcoming Lord of the Rings movie festival at Arlington Cinema and Drafthouse this spring

and now a list of small things that are annoying me right now:

• network television
• the news
• my haircut
• my messy house, and the thought of having to clean it
• gangster rap
• my lack of discipline when it comes to watermelon sour patch kids

Things that are causing great stress and anxiety for me:

• The husband
• Not having a companion to share experiences and special moments with
• My weight
• David’s high school success
• Saving money
