Happy Sunday & Happy Memorial Day weekend!

This week, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that first & foremost, I AM HAPPY & sincerely grateful for all the men & women who have served our country & protected our freedoms—often with their very lives.  Thank you for your commitment & sacrifice.

I AM HAPPY that my Season 4 DVD set of Flashpoint arrived this week.  I’d totally forgotten that I even pre-ordered it, but what a nice surprise!  I love this show, & love that it’s been picked up on by ION for repeats & new episodes. :patrick3

I AM HAPPY & hugely grateful for a high school buddy & her husband, who have been helping me with a completely frustrating & ongoing problem the past couple weeks.  They came to my rescue when I was completely clueless, & have gone totally above & beyond.  I don’t know what I would have done without them—except maybe sit here, remaining clueless & frustrated, or given up completely.  Seriously, you have no idea. :slamdesk

And I AM HAPPY that after two days of sweltering weather—already! I’m never going to survive the summer if this keeps up :hotstuff —it finally got a little rainy & cooled down.  Whew.

That’s happy enough for me this week! :patrick

So how about you?  Feel free to share all the things you’re feeling happy about or grateful for this week.  And I have a feeling we may all be feeling some very special, personal gratitude this Memorial Day weekend.
