It's come to my attention that these days, it's hard to find something to *not* complain about. Our jobs stink, our paychecks are even stinkier--even the traffic due to construction at 11:40 pm on the way home from work. But there are things, sometimes little things, that keep me going. A random list follows:
1. Yarn/knitting. This never fails to calm me. There's nothing like turning the heel on a sock to make you feel like you've accomplished something.
2. I may not live at home anymore, or even in the same state, but I swear, even at 27 years old, nothing beats a hug from my mom. Maybe because those hugs are further and far between now, I have come to relish them more.
3. Making breakfast with future hubby. To balance out all of the meals I make, he makes breakfast for me sometimes on the weekend. He's in charge of the eggs and I make the coffee. Nothing to me is sweeter than smelling coffee brewing and seeing my sweetheart flipping my omelet.
4. Waking up and seeing the trees outside the window blowing in the breeze. I roll over onto future hubby's side of the bed where it smells like him (in a good way, of course, like his speedstick and pert shampoo) and watch the sun shine in.
5. Making dinner for people. I cook for future hubby a lot, but we've had people over for dinner three times now, and I love having everything in the meal come together and nourish people I love.
These things all make the tough stuff worth it.
