Daily: Reflect on 5 things for which I'm grateful. (read all 19 entries…)

On July 3rd, I was grateful for: 12 months ago

This goal: it actually made me notice things more
Chocolate: it makes life sweeter
Music: because it rocks my world and can save me from any mood… almost
Witnessing my son learning to speak and think… it’s so huge and so amazing
A true hot summer day
Sweet emails from my friends who worry and care about me
Good laughs

Wonderful list!

Ah yes…chocolate! Now that you mention it, I think there is a distinct shortage of it at my desk…

Watch out though...

I’ve got a feeling it can become something of an addiction ;)

Oh yes...

Especially since I just stopped nursing my baby recently. I had to give it up since too much chocolate seemed to make her cranky. NOTHING is worth a cranky baby!

So…it is back to coffee and chocolate for me! Yay!

I know what you mean…
I breastfed for almost 2,5 years, and stopped back in February. I have discovered since that I had really missed alcohol… I never drank before, but the occasional Martini before dinner is really a treat :)

Cranky on chocolate? Man… That wasn’t lucky…
Well, enjoy some nice chocolate with that cuppa coffee then ;)

Oh... Thanks but...

...I’m just playing around, because I discovered yesterday that you could mark goals as ‘I’ve done this’ even if it wasn’t a goal on your list (you know?).
So I’m just browsing and randomly marking things that I have done in the past (procrastination?? Hmm… I wouldn’t know, that’s not a problem of mine anymore… ha ha!)

But yeah, that award was cool because it was totally unexpected :) One of my teachers here nominated me for ‘excellency in research’ for a paper I had written. I suddenly got a letter that I was invited to a conference where an award would be given. Had no idea why, but I came. Before I knew it, I was standing on a stage with some guy reading a long description of just how brilliant I was :p Really embarrassing…
And the price was really cool too!
A 300 euros voucher for the university library, so now I own my ‘bibles’ ;)

Have a fantastic day!! :D
