Post 10 things that are going right in your life right now. I don't care how small. You're happy with your cup of coffee. You saw a flock of geese flying over. ANYTHING. Things that make you happy. Things that make you smile. No pressure.

It's small and it's simplistic, but maybe for the time you are compiling your list, you'll forget about the bad going on and focus on something good.

1. Obama is ahead in the polls and climbing, especially in the swing states.

2. We're having beautiful fall weather: crisp mornings, warm afternoons, blue blue sky.

3. Alex amazes me. It is hard for me to imagine how a kid could be cooler than Alex.

4. Niblet is kicking me.

5. My new secret Internet boyfriend, Nate, has all the incredibly detailed election information I could ever want to know.

6. I keep finding these tiny, gorgeous, bright scarlet leaves on the sidewalk. Usually city leaves are not particularly impressive.

7. Michael and I are going to see Great Big Sea for my birthday.

8. Soren DeSelby sang a scale and produced a couple of words of meaningful speech.

9. My pregnancy is feeling really good right now.

10. I wrote something creative, and someone else thought it was good. Do you have any idea how weird that is?

Although it's hard not to be annoyed at him for not writing constantly.

Yes, exactly. They update - what? Four or so times a day? If I were a just person, that would be enough for me. But it isn't.

Hey, he's got to write that stuff between appearances on Olberman and Maddow! Give him a break. Besides, he's *my* Super Secret Boyfriend (after Omar Vizquel); I saw him first! ;-P

Nate

He's going to be on, I think, CBS on election night.

For you, I am willing to share my Secret Internet Boyfriend.

Try this site. I know it's not Nate, but I like their math better.

Uh, yeah, actually, I do.

You get to see Great Big Sea? You're so lucky! I love Great Big Sea!

I see Canada Geese in the pond at the transfer station whenever I take recycling there. They live there year-round and it's always nice to see the little ones grow up. I am careful to watch where I walk in the parking lot.

And, I don't know how many of you know Soren, but he doesn't have insurance and we're raising funds (http://nielsenhayden.com/makinglight/archives/010660.html#010660).
