1. Got a grant for $2500 to teach digital video...
2. My daughter washed the dog without me even asking her to
3. My H told me I was "great" tonight.
4. I have a roaring fire and it is cold and damp outside...
5. The days are getting LONGER!

hmmm..

okay, usually I'm the "glass is half empty" guy, but I'll give this a go.

1) My D3 called me many times today because she loves and misses me (she's been out of town with WAW for almost 2 weeks)

2) I'm healthy.

3) I have family and friends who love and support me.

4) Other women find me attractive.

5) Even though my D may be final this time next month, my WAW and I treat each other with respect, she has said just this month "ILY" to me and she has said her dream is that someday we can reconcile.

6) I had the fortune to pick up, read and practice DBusting!
