great list.
it is hard to stay positive sometimes and it is good to remind ourselves what to be thankful for.
i took matty to see UP and it was his first movie theatre experience last weekend. we both loved it.

I very much understand what you are saying here. I struggle with pessimism, too. And I see that my son has that tendency also. We are working so hard to fight it! Good job finding something to look up about. Hang in there.

Hey there. I hope even posting about looking up has helped you do just that. I have missed talking to you. Let's catch up in the next day or so when Eric's family leaves.

Wishing I could come on over and eat a tomato with you!

Hi Kristi. I read your post, and something very deep, not often discussed (at least days) resonated with you. Sadly, not with the ability to look up, and call out the good things, but with the slightly darker place that made you decide to look at the good things.

Sometimes I wish I hadn't been so insecure and young back in the Ecclesia days. I am certain I would have *really* liked knowing you better.

Thanks for sharing. For what it's worth, your honesty from a distance...well, it instilled a bit of hope.

WHAT?!?! 10 lbs in 3 weeks! Go Kristi! I confess to trolling your site hoping you would post, I miss you guys! We'll be up your way if you want to meet us at the park for a while, tomorrow. I've been feeling the exact same way, just not 10 pounds lighter like you, skinny girl! I read a Martha Stewart magazine today (totally atypical for me), only because it was all about painting furniture and it reminded me of you... I gotta shake the post-school let down!

gorgeous picture, the leaves are so green. all the things you listed are great reasons for staying positive. I'm with you on often seeing the glass half empty. But look on the bright side, you're nowhere near as dark as Cormac McCarthy. I started 'The Road' yesterday and at one point there's a quote about remembering that which you want to forget and forgetting that which you want to remember. By the way, I love the Fitzherbert/Titspervert part of Bridget Jones Diary, that movie is perfect visual comfort food.
