I know this does not technically have anything to do with West Seattle - but I live in West Seattle so I hope this counts...and I want to share.
Reasons I am happy today:
- It rained.
- I finally got a rock tumbler from my parents, it only took them 29 years.
- Did I mention I am going to be 29? My husband laughs at me, but I am feeling old - it is the oldest i have ever been in my life.
- A wonderful stranger told me I was pretty today, just when I needed a pick-me-up.
- I finally shed old relics from a previous relationship.
- My wonderful, beloved 16 year old cat (my only child) is still alive. Although I know everyday is up for grabs.
- My grandfather, who was dying last year only due to a lack of wanting to live made a goal to be driving again in a year and is walking.
- My mother, whose liver was shutting down a month ago, has been to a dietitian, and is doing better.
- My father is finally doing something about his heart condition.
- My little sister is so smart and is doing wonderful in college and is on her way to becoming an RN.
- And it rained today, I stood in the rain for about 15 minutes, just to soak it up, this summer has been a killer.
