Nobody puts a hilari...I am thankful for this blog! Nobody puts a hilarious voice to many of my inner ramblings better than Cranky. <br />I share her gratitude for #1 and #2. I would echo #4 precisely and cannot rejoice enough for my equivalent of her #3 and #6. Thank God I have a smart, funny and charming man who puts up with my peculiar behavior and perspective on a daily basis. And that most adults (including me, much of the time!) find my kids delightful and charming. Though they will only get a tounge-lashing from me and their dad about the value-of-hard-work thing, both being as passionate as I ever was at their age about lollygagging, disappearing into books and TV watching marathons. (I retain my passion for the former two, when I can indulge myself.) The older one in particular can do less in more time than anyone else I know - except her mother. <br />I would have to add my gratitude for having worked up the courage to leave a job I *truly* despised and the most consistently hateful boss I have ever had in my entire working life for an indeterminate next step. I took a leap of faith. Instead of getting my foolhardy ass scorched (as I more-or-less expected), I found a job I like as well as the one I had for most of 2012, with a boss who is a party in herself. Sometimes things work out, and when they do, it's a beautiful thing. I was at that point Lucinda Williams sings about: "You took my Joy; I want it back!" Well, it's back. I am capable of laughing again, and hallelujah for that.DRossnoreply@blogger.com
