This 31 days of gratitude thing is coming in handy today. All I want to do is wallow in the suckage since Zeb just left to head back to training in south Georgia. (I mean, rip my stinkin' heart out, why dontcha.)

But I have to think of something to be grateful for during the suckage, and I've come up with this: I really like to be around my husband. I mean, I really, really like him. If I wasn't married to him, I'd have a major crush on him. Thank goodness it doesn't have to just be a crush -- I get to be married to him.

I'm so fortunate to have the love of somebody so exceptional.

And dang, I miss him so much when he's not around.
