Little Blessings in Your Day

So tell me about the small blessings you see in your days. The little things that bring a smile to your face.

I'll start: I've been wondering if there's a way that I can have my calendar and contacts on my computer and my phone without me having to input everything to both separately. Since I have Vista 64-bit, my computer won't sync with my phone, and it's been making me nervous knowing I don't have a backup in case my phone is lost or broken.

Last night it came to me! An online calendar and contacts program! So, I went looking about and found that someone has come up with a program that will sync my Google calendar with my phone's calendar online. And there is a feature for contacts, too!

Now, I have both the calendar on my phone and my computer up-to-date with each other and I needn't worry that I will lose all my information if my phone goes down.

Not a bit deal, but a simple pleasure.

Being above ground and breathing.

(sometimes its the simplest of the simple)

I won't deny that is a blessing.

I have been using a 64 bit OS for 4 years now t, and they STILL do not make everything work with them, some companies just flat out refuse to do ANYTHING close to 64. With its greater memory usage capabilities, it is the way things have to go, but companies are just waiting as long as they can in many cases.

Every day I can lift my head off of the pillow is a blessing.

Seriously, every day that I can talk to my parents, walk, drive a bike or car, work, give back, and just be a friend is a blessing.

Geez, did I leave anything out? ***jello belly laffs***

Microsoft says it doesn't plan on making my computer compatible with more than one piece of hardware and more than one program that I'd like to use. Does this make me want to buy a similar product from them in the future...hmmmm....lemme think on that.....

You putting both "above ground" and "breathing" in there reminds me of a story my mom told me recently about some kin. The cemetary where some of our relatives had been buried was being moved and the casket of Aunt So-And-So fell off the truck and came open. The workers looked inside and found she was on her face with her fists clenched at the back of her head and she'd ripped out much of her hair. Apparently, she came too after being buried.

Not the first story I've heard of like this.

Wow! I've heard of Haitians being buried "alive" - comatose from eating poison fish, and showing NO vital signs, yet they wake up...creepy.

Well, yeah, but they only go comatose somewhere around the
middle of the third quarter.

Little Blessings in Your Day

To put on the headphones and blast some prog metal in the middle of the work day. No politics, no stress, no crap. The only screeching is from the guitars and sometimes the vocals.

Inquiring minds want to know- who are you listening to?
