1. My family. Sure, we have our moments. But we know how to laugh together. And in the grand scheme of things, we rely on each other for strength when times are tough.
2. True friends. I've been blessed with people who genuinely care, who send me a message to let me know they're thinking about me, and talk me into seeing the upside to any downturn. Thank you (you know who you are!)
3. The Day Job. Don't see that too often, do you? But yeah. Sometimes, it's good to have a place to go where I can lose myself in work that involves someone other than myself.
4. Coffee. Lots of sleepless nights translate to many zombie-like days. Thank goodness for that caffeinated elixir of the gods for keeping me going.
5. Hope. Every day I wake up is a day where things can change for the better.
If you're feeling challenged now or in the future, try counting the good things in your life to help you conquer the imps of mischief.

This is beautiful, Gina, and an excellent reminder to count our blessing.
My mother used to tell me, "when the chips are down, it's your family who'll be there for you, not your friends". I don't disagree in totality, but I also have some pretty good friends like you, who would be there for me too. :-)
So when life gives you lemons, the positive thinkers make lemonade. That's what you do.
On another note, I am sooooooo enjoying A slice of Heaven. I read short snippets during the day because my eyes defy me in the evenings, but the story is so good, I have to force myself to stop reading or I won't get anything done. LOL But I find myself thinking about what I read afterward. Fantastic and unusual storyline that warms my heart!
