better

thanks for your virtual hugs yesterday. i'm usually not a big whiner, but sometimes we just have rotten days, huh? i went to my parents house last night, ate a home-cooked meal, and spent the evening hanging out with my parents, my sister and her husband. nothin' like a little bit of QT with people you love and who love you to make life a little sweeter. to top it off, on my way home i was surfing through radio stations and found a great easy-listening station that was playing corny songs like linda ronstandt's "blue bayou." don't kid yourself - i sang along, and i sang loud. i got home, and headed to the workout room for a late night jog. i took a warm shower, read a few chapters of the book i'm reading, and went to sleep. this morning, i woke up feeling a lot better and realizing that there are certainly more important things to fret about. i am blessed beyond measure, and really should be thankful for the things i have as opposed to worrying about the small stuff. what's that saying?? "don't sweat petty things and don't pet sweaty things?" hehehe..... happy thursday.....
