Day 165 Gratefuls

  2. I'm grateful that I found a secret stash of my Advil so I can sleep tonight.

Day 164 Gratefuls

  1. I'm grateful for distractions that pull me out of my head (a messy place at best).
  2. I'm grateful for instant (and I do mean instant) emails from most of my credit card companies.  The worst is USAA... what good is it getting a credit card alert five days after the event?  The best is Chase/Amazon... I'm usually still at the cash register when my phone dings.
  3. I'm grateful for the yummy dinner I had tonight... banana, raspberries, and an apple.

Day 163 Gratefuls

  1. I'm grateful when there's even a little tiny thing that I can do to help a friend who always, always helps me.
  2. I'm grateful for having lunch with friends I haven't seen in months (must not let so much time happen between visits).
  3. I'm grateful I'm getting closer to having the double barrel composter done.

Day 162 Gratefuls

  1. I'm grateful for the one person (that I know of) who reads this blog.  I know it's not compelling reading, but it's something to keep me on track.  Most of the problem is I write at the end of the day, when I can think of three things to be grateful for that happened that day, but I'm too tired to y'know... be witty or entertaining.
  2. I'm grateful for crashing parties I wasn't invited to and having fun.  Smelled some awesome essential oils at the Doterra party (probably not spelling that right).
  3. I'm grateful for that part of me that wants to and tries to trust the universe when I get freaked out about things and my imagination goes into worry mode... which is totally lame.

  2. I'm grateful that my kids eventually text me back just before I get crazy insane wondering why I haven't heard from them.
  3. I'm grateful that I got to use my regular hand model this past week!

  3. I'm grateful that my professor apparently gets as tired as we do and ends our night class early on Mondays.
