the thumper rule

"if ya can't say somethin' nice, don't say nothin' at all"

and this week hasn't been going well, so i've been abiding by it. today was no exception, but i have a few things i'd like to be positive about:

1. yoga tonight was good (as usual)
2. my dog is adorable (and is laying by the door waiting for her daddy to get home)
3. my co-workers (for the most part) are fun
4. i love glade french vanilla scented candles
5. my orchid has ANOTHER bloom - that makes 5 at once! 
6. more importantly, my orchid is still alive
7. tomorrow is the students' last day this week because friday is a teacher workday
8. my pulled muscle, while still there, is getting better

and that's all i can really think of for now, but that's 8 more things than i had a little while ago, so i'm thankful.
