yep its a new year....

Ok, so I haven't really posted lately, whatever.  I have been thinking about a lot of things lately...

 I rang in the new year watching Netflix. What a great thing that is for a movie lover like me.  All kinds of movies to pick from there.

Ive been in a pretty good mood lately.  Not much has really changed in my life at this point.  I still work all day and don't go out or do much lately.  But I like a lot of things the way they are.  I have my own space...something I had given up on ever thinking would happen.  I have a lot more freedom to do what I want, even if I don't do much with that freedom.  I've got a beautiful grand daughter who is 5 months old now and just as cute as ever.  I love that C and S got married just before Christmas, that was fantastic.

I feel like, despite the fact I'm broke, I have a lot of things to be happy about.   I sometimes feel like I am missing out on things...tell that to the people who are homeless and unemployed and trying to figure out where their next meal is coming from.  The things I feel like I'm too broke for, aren't even options for them.  So I tell myself to shut up and just relax with what I have.  For the most part I do just that.

I've got a cousin in OK that I need to call, gonna try calling this weekend, if he will even talk to me

But, I count myself lucky, I have a richer life than I give myself credit for most of the time. I've got a good roof over my head, a job I actually like, and I work from home.  I've got family that loves me as much as I love them. And that family keeps growing!  Whats not to like?  I could make a list but think I will pass.

Does anyone besides me like 70s music?  Not just the disco stuff, yes there were other songs in the 70s besides disco lol.  I like the pop and classic rock from that era.  I have found myself listening to it a lot lately. I guess it makes me happy, reminds me of a time in my life when things were a lot simpler than they are now. Less responsibility and I could just enjoy life...as much as I was able to..... as much of it as I can remember anyway.  I have gotten into the habit of listening to internet radio after work each day for a while.  Put on my headphones and crank it full volume.  Something so relaxing about it. So shoot me if you think it's dumb. Makes me happy, and that can't be a bad thing.  Hey, at least I use the headphones and no one else has to suffer.
