Yeah, yeah, yeah.....

It's been a long time since I decided to visit the blog.  It became a place I didn't want to go, like the grocery store.  I just wasn't in the mood.  Life is good though.  Maybe even great.  What brings me back now, is "Thankfulness".  Last year I found something to be thankful for on each day of November complete with pictures, and descriptions.  Those were the days - when I cared about blogging a really lot.  It may have been all the nap times that I was lazily sitting at my computer blogging or perhaps all the late nights that I held Zoey with one arm and typed with the other.  At any rate, now during nap time, I sit and watch TV, eat lunch in peace and play Solitaire on my phone.  As long as I'm going to psychoanalyze my lack of blogging we should probably examen my phone's roll in this.  That thing gets internet anywhere and the idea of turning on my computer seems silly.  But now, I have a Blogger app.  Maybe there will be blogging in the future....from my phone.  Back to the reason for my visit: Being thankful.  Here is my complete list of 30 things that spilled from my brain last night before I fell asleep.  I typed them into the "notes" section of my phone instead of here.  I then emailed them to the blog.  I didn't even have to get out of bed.  Impressive eh?
These are in no particular order and without any descriptions.

That is ALL 30.  BANG. Done.  I could spend all night adding the reasoning to this stuff, but if I needed that it wouldn't be my list because I don't need to explain why I am thankful for what I am thankful for.  Ya dig me?  Love you all though.  I hope to get back on the horse again sooner than later.   This was a good, healthy start.
