Book Recommendation
I'm reading a really interesting book right now - brothers of mine, you may have already read it - called Confederates in the Attic. The author is Tony Horwitz. The author is a journalist who finds himself wrapped up tracing the progress of the Civil War as it still exists today. It almost makes you want to be a re-enactor, but it doesn't make me feel very comfortable about living in the South.

Keep It Positive
Much of the time I find myself dwelling on the negative things going on around here. But you know, life ain't all that bad. On the up side:
1. I'm really enjoying that water aerobics class I'm taking, and one day when I couldn't make it, I went to the gym to ride the recumbent bicycle for a while.
2. I'm not as "creaky" as I was; my joints don't hurt anymore. I suppose that has to do with item #1.
3. I love cold, rainy weather and was kind of sorry to see winter slip away, but the sunshine and days of scattered showers have been pretty nice.
4. We had a parent/teacher conference for Christian yesterday, and he's really doing well! Yeah!
5. We miss Jim's presence because it seems like he's always locked away in his office, but we're grateful that he has plenty of work to do.
6. I'm rearranging my days so that I schedule in the things I WANT to do before the things I SHOULD do, making me a more cheerful person.
7. I really love my job and look forward to the hours I spend there. Not everyone can say that.
This was a very "me" oriented post, but it helps me to put it out there to remind myself of just how good I have it.
Love you all.
