Day 40: My Mother-in-law

Many people seem to struggle to get along with their mother in-law. Not so with me. I love and respect her greatly. I am often amazed by her energy, enthusiasm, zest for life and all around gusto. It seems that the rest of us were born with impaired vision - she always sees so much more in life.

Here are some of my favorite Mother-in-law quotes:

• An inch of milk
  
• A square of toilet paper
  
• A dab of whipped cream
  
• Spores in the swamp cooler
  
• Jiggers
  
• Thank you!
  
• I'll go where you want me to go dear Lord
  

Here are some words that come to mind when I think of her:

• Generosity
  
• Gusto
  
• Faith
  
• Comfort
  
• Celebration
  
• Can do
  
• Make do
  
• Energy
  
• Enthusiasm
  
• Love for life
  
• Love for others
  

There are many reasons why I'm grateful for my mother-in-law but the one I feel most grateful for today is that she has taught me there are so many more reasons to celebrate life than I had ever imagine. Life is much happier, much richer and enjoyed at a whole new level because of her.
