Reasons to be happy

Today has been a long day and I am dead tired...tomorrow promises to be longer.  But I have some reasons to be happy at the end of this day.

     1.  A fun day at work...and an added little bonus
     2.  A chance to sit next to Cara and hear her laugh all evening.
     3.  The joy of watching  Alex and his friends in the LMS drama club perform their play tonight.  This play was supposed to go on before Thanksgiving, but due to horrific events had to be postponed.  It's hard...after a postponement....with minimal practices to get up on the stage and carry on a performance.  Earlier this evening, Alex wasn't feeling so sure how it would go.  But I told him to go and give it his best and all the positive energy he could find.  He did...and they all did.  It was a great performance....and everyone did a really great job!!
     4. So very proud of our friend Dan!! Great job!!!
     5. Proud that Cara came up from Yonkers to be there for her brother.
     6.  Proud of my baby...and how great he did with his lead role.
     7.  Happy that as soon as we got home, Alex immediately called Alyssa to tell her how it went.
     8.  Happy that Cara arrived home safe and sound.
     9.  Happy to see Alex feeling so successful, and accomplished and proud of his hard work
