It's The Only Good Thread

My little guy is going to turn 17 in a couple days. Time really does fly...even when I think it is just dragging on. The good thing is he is turning into a really good man. I don't think he'll ever be a player. It would seem to go against who he is. He'll probably fall hard. My youngest is another story!
 
I slept well last night and I had a dream in which I expressed some anger. It was at my sister. And there was relief in expressing it. I had a nice conversation on the phone with her yesterday, so I have no idea what triggered the dream. Maybe something in our conversation, or maybe just talking to her in general. All I know is I heard her in the dream saying something about that I always expect everyone else to do everything for me. Well! Maybe I do NOW. I used to own a motel. I used to take care of everyone else, including a crippled husband. I put my sister and her family up whenever they came for a vacation, my parents too. It is about time that others took care of me for a change! Even if my family doesn't in reality, it was good to get that anger out, even if just in a dream! I felt better upon waking, vindicated somehow. SO that is good. And others thankfully do take care of me now, so who cares if it is not my family that does so?
 
Its too cold and I'm too tired to really do much this morning. So my husband made brunch and my oldest daughter came over to eat. She brought her newfoundland over to play with my newfoundland, and it was hilarious watching them play and chase each other. Although, when the wrestled it shook the house like a small earthquake.

Family, dogs playing, and blueberry coffee are all good things. :)
 
Today is my son's birthday. 17 years ago it was a high risk pregnancy. Today he is a seemingly well adjusted young man. I feel very proud of him and have told him I am blessed by having him in my life. My boys are my good and my ability to tell them how much I mean without taking it away with other negative comments is also my good(their's as well). We don't all raise our children the way our parents did.
 
I actually can feel energy today. My husband called me a night owl because I stay up so late. But I am feeling pretty darn good. How I wish I could feel this way all of the time. I know the bad days are coming and I am going to enjoy the good days while I can. It is so easy to stay positive.
