I have a great son, who always makes me laugh.

I find my life so much more fufilling because I have a beautiful dog to share it with.

I am really good at pushing myself when needed.

3. I am great at networking and today just established a potential working relationship!

I am a fair and reasonable parent to my teenager.

I look at the bright side of all things.

I value the wisdom and common sense of my friends (even when I don't agree with what they say).

Being a customer service rep for a large insurance carrier who has many hurricane related claims this year, I've been privileged to speak with people who have had their lives literally blown or washed away and still tell me jokes and hang up wishing me a "blessed day".

I've also had the opportunity to pray for the victims who were more worried about their in-ground pools than their fellow victims who had nothing. One man blatantly told me his lawyer told him he didn't have to worry about anyone other than himself. Think about it. Who really needs more prayer. The one whose only treasure is here on earth or the one who still has everything in his heart even if he only owns the clothes on his back and the pair of slippers he was wearing when he was evacuated.

And then I come home to my children who still live with me, or I get to talk on the phone to my child who is grown, his wife and my most beautiful grand son. I know some of those people have wished me a blessed day, but truth to tell, isn't every day anyway?

I am a great cook apparently (at least I haven't killed anyone yet!)

I am ALIVE and WELL.

I try to experience every minute of every day as intensely as I can.

Usul...this has been a very good exercise for me, too. My self esteem is certainly an area that needs improvement!

1. I have a lot of common sense!

2. I enjoy writing and am pretty good at it, too!

3. My son thinks I hung the moon!
