Being part of a great team...  What's better than that?

 It's something of an inevitability that everyone feels like total crap for no real reason once and awhile.  And as I was sitting around the other night, feeling sorry for myself and making up excuses for the reasons that everyone had it SO much better than me, I decided to take a break from being a total sad sack and made a list of the thoughts that never fail to cheer me up.  If even just for a few seconds, reveling in my favorite memories is a great way to slap the blues around.


So here are a few pictures that sparked some of my favorite memories...  I had to stop and label this album "part one" since so many warm fuzzy moments were attached to pictures, that photos would still be uploading to this post three years from now.  I think everyone has their strange sour-mood fixes, and I'm glad mine involves in soaking up the past and appreciated the awesome friends I've had and the great places I've been, rather than focusing on what I think I'm currently missing.
