- for learning to really love myself and embrace who I am

- for becoming more patient day by day (though it’s a struggle, this is definitely not my strong point)

- for awareness

- for a full heart

- for dinner and a long conversation last night with a friend

- for someone posting something about a disease her cat has, which led me to realize my cat may well have the same thing and hopefully we’re discovering it in time to do something about it (appointment tomorrow)

- for winning free stuff almost everyday this week on the subway scrabble game

- for Poetry Everywhere, which is a great tool to help teach poetry

- for moving forward on a project even though it scares me
