Things are looking up!

Positives in my life right now:

1. Corky is doing better!!!! No surgery (so far!)
2. The band is ready for homecoming. They sound great. I have the help i need finally to pull off pre-game and halftime, so a lot of personal stress has been relieved
3. Mom and dad are visiting this weekend, I haven't spent time with them in 2 months.
4. It's hot and sunny again!
5. I just finished some yummy ravioli
6. My desk is kinda clean
7. I found out that I have a LOT more friends than I ever realized. When you go through tough spots in your life, the real ones come out...and it is great to see I have such great friends.
8. My trumpet chops, after a summer off, aren't as bad as I thought they would be.

Life is grand. Amazing...a week ago today I was totally devastated and totally alone, no one semed to care. Funny how the people you don't even consider close to you end up being true friends. Amazing how you can find comfort and undersatnding in the strangest of places. Sad that you can't find it where you want it most. Great that things can always improve in that area.
