I'm not particularly happy today, being it's the weekend and my husband's alarm clock (which he forgot to turn off last night) woke me at 6:30...again. He's not a light sleeper like me, so when I nudged him to deactivate the alarm, he didn't even fully wake up. Not so with me. So I'm up hours earlier than I had to be and looking for something that inspires gratitude and thankfulness. Grrrrrr!
There are many things on my TBTF (To Be Thankful For) list: the nice supper we shared with friends last night at a little country restaurant beside the Mississippi River levee; my kids are all doing great for the moment; my mom's health is holding steady; my stepdaughter and family are coming back to Ft. Polk in Louisiana soon; the Rose & Thorn Literary e-zine is growing and looking great; and the weather's not its usual sweltering self today. Oh, and I have my literary masters coffee cup filled to the brim with hot delicious coffee. *And here's a wave to Oren and Cathy's son Kyle, who receives his Eagle Scout award today! (See you at the ceremony.)*
If you can't find similar items on your TBTF list today, there's always the Sunday paper cartoon strips to perk a grouchy, sleepy person up. Enjoy one of my favorites -- Scott Adams' Dilbert: http://http//www.dilbert.com/strips/comic/2008-04-02/

Oooh...I am not a fan of alarm clocks, especially ones that wake you on a weekend which is meant for sleeping in and lolling about.
Catch a nap later if you can and enjoy the morning. I'm off to caffeinate.
Nice transition: Grrrrrrratitude!
IT's been so long since I've awoken to an alarm clock -but I remember the days -- ergh.....now, working from home, no alarm! yayy! though I still wake up pretty early.
I love Dilbert!
I do not love waking up earlier than intended.
Unless I wake up earlier than intended and the morning looks particularly lovely and peaceful.
I hope you enjoyed your added hours of daylight. ?? :)
