Remembering today


to count my blessings and be thankful.

(Lyrics like these are one of the reasons I adore Annie Get Your Gun)


Got no diamond, got no pearl,
Still I think I'm a lucky girl.
I've got the sun in the morning
And the moon at night.


Got no mansion, got no yacht,
Still I'm happy with what I got.
I've got the sun in the morning
And the moon at night


Sunshine gives me a lovely day,
Moonlight gives me the Milky Way.
Got no checkbooks, got no banks,
Still, I'd like to express my thanks.
I've got the sun in the morning
And the moon at night.


And with the sun in the morning
And the moon in the evening
I'm alright.


Got no butler, got no maid.
Still I think I've been overpaid,
I've got the sun in the morning
And the moon at night.
Got no silver, got no gold,
What you've got can't be bought or sold.
I've got the sun in the morning
And the moon at night.


Got no heirlooms for my kin,
Made no will but when I cash in
I'll leave the sun in the morning
And the moon at night.


And with the sun in the morning
And the moon in the evening
I'm alright.

Very cool. I like that.
Missing ya'll. I'm an emotional wreck this morning, for a number of reasons. Wish I were there NOW!

I thought you would like it, too. I wish you were here, too. I don't know what I could do, but at least I could try and help with these emotional wreck moments!
