Day 35 Gratefuls

Hey, I passed the 30 day mark.  Isn't that supposed to be one of the important time frames for something you want to become habit?

Anyway, let's see what we can put on the agenda for tonight.

1. I'm grateful that dilating my pupils (every six months) feels NOTHING like when they use drops to constrict my pupils (before I had laser surgery).  I never EVER want to go through that again.  Dilating is a wee bit of a PITA if I have somewhere I have to be (like tonight... had to go straight to school with my cartoon eyes... ha ha ha).  But you do get to experience a state of continual fireworks with all the different lights on at night.  The effect is really something.. particularly with Christmas lights.
2. I'm grateful that I found another good book to read.  It's a juvenile by Heinlein... I decided to go through all his juveniles.  I think there are some that I've missed.  And I have no apologies for my reading materials, ever.  I'm perfectly fine with young adult fiction because I counter it with some pretty heavy duty non-fiction books.
3. I'm grateful for pomegranates.  They are just SOOOO yummy! 

Day 34 Gratefuls

1. I'm grateful I go to school by choice rather than by necessity.
2. I'm grateful for friends who give me ideas like putting on a simmer pot to add humidity to the air (it's down to 27% today).
3. I'm grateful that the sun moves across the horizon so only for a few months of the year is it in my eyes when I sit at the computer or reflecting on the tv.

Day 33 Gratefuls

1. I'm super, super grateful for getting to spend the whole day with Gabe and Sereen!
2. I'm grateful for finding a little pet cushion and insulation thing for my outdoor cat house.
3. I'm grateful for a beaded necklace that worked out pretty nicely.  I don't make very many beaded things lately and I almost forgot some of my former techniques. 

Day 32 Gratefuls

1. I'm grateful for great company and home cooked meals.
2. I'm grateful for citrus fruit in the winter.
3. I'm grateful for realizing my Ethics final isn't until next week.

Day 31 Gratefuls

1. I'm grateful for all my friends and family.
2. I'm grateful for central heat.
3. I'm grateful that I live in a place where I get to see occasional wildlife (check out the antlers on the male).

Day 30 Gratefuls

1. I'm grateful I had a long (and really nice) phone conversation with my daughter today.  
2. I'm grateful my son just called and said he's coming to visit this weekend (up from UCLA).
3. I'm grateful my homemade pumpkin pie turned out very yummy.

Day 29 Gratefuls

1. I'm so grateful for where I live at the moment.  It's beautiful  Every day is like a vacation.
2. I'm grateful for oversized fuzzy sweaters on cold days.
3. I'm grateful for banana bread being an easy solution for too many overripe bananas in the pantry.
