a need to be positive.

so a la boo boo, i feel i need to count my blessings and consider why "life is pretty damn good," as she ever so eloquently explains. (sidebar: read her post. there's a reason why she's climbing the bcs charts.)

i *heart* my team. being at hillsdale continues to be a very redeeming process in my professional life. it makes my experience exponentially better that i have rockin' coworkers that laugh and cry with me ... and drink with me too.

i *heart* my ltg. they continue to show me what true community means. the women (ONE ZILLION EPROPS to janice, cindy, penny, and brittany) blow me away with their honesty and faithfulness and joy. plus, not everyone's ltg will have a 3 day texas hold'em marathon, replete with hard apple cider.

i *heart* my family. my parents are generous and wonderful people. we may suffer from canto drama queens, but we love drama ... not. my baby brother is the sweetest nerd, and muck is 110% solid family guy. and no one questions that kath adds fffffflaaaaav-aaaaaah to our family.

i *heart* my roommates. they are honest and funny. we are our own little tv-zombie family.

i *heart* my friends. no girl could ask for better sisters. we have history, we have loyalty, we have community, we have honesty, we have JESUS ... we have F-U-N. they keep me on my toes. and no girl could ask for a niftier bz. he is hilarious, generous, patient, frickin' genius, faithful. he keeps me on my toes.

i *heart* my GOD. i'm never in need or want. He provides me with everything i need, sausages in abundance. He loves me, He is patient with me, He cares for me, He blesses me. He rocks my world.

seri is right. life is pretty damn good.
