Daily: Reflect on 5 things for which I'm grateful.

This is a challenge today too:

Okay, relatively calm day.
(Rainy-ish, so no pulling out of shrubbery, which I wasn’t in the mood for anyway. So kinda cool anyway!!)
Finding some new cool websites, and really some cool stuff: hopefully it will make me calmer?
Also, reading Barbara Sher’s Wishcraft again – she knows what she’s doing and talking about!! Definitely need to re-read this book every few years AT LEAST!! (Or make a checklist?)
Yummy lunch cooked by Sis, totally delish, no stress..

Fifth thing? Hmm… Well, the computer seems to be working okay, it was just false alarm.. /sigh/ I wish the antivirus programs were a bit more relaxing.. not causing stress just if you don’t scan for 7 days!

I really want to start doing this again.

I’m currently cross with the world, I’m still grateful for:
- my sister, who says okay for the cooking plans! (hopefully less stress!!)
- my hands, so I can pull out big shrubbery tomorrow (I hope!!) so Uncle doesn’t have to use toxic herbicides (pretty much identical to the bad Monsanto Roundup) – I hope!!
- my attick where I have lots of my stuff I love (and freedom to figure out what I want to do with it!!)
- websites like GTD and Zenhabits.net to show me ideas to make more constructive habits! (And yup, I’ve actually done some of these before, then just forgot and stopped!!)
- finding that running websites exist (yup, so excited!! wanna start running again more!)

Ooh, five already? See, this wasn’t so hard! :)

lol I want to do this again too!!

I am grateful for:
1. being me. seriously. lol
I know I have mistakes & all but I still kinda rock!! :) lol
2. finding interesting & inspiring websites & people online!! /yes, you too!!/ YAY!! :)
3. having my inflatable ball which makes sitting by the PC easier :)
4. having courage & wits to discover & try new things lol
5. having the house (& PC!) for myself pretty much the last few days… I loved it!! having peace & space… felt really kinda good!! :)
A very laid back day, sorta… :) Though I wish I had been a bit more inventive & imaginative while cooking!! lol

1 chocolate pudding lol
2 my sister
3 Jenniffer Cruise books (although they make me maddeningly sad & furious & jealous of the characters too OoO – They’re just characters!! OoO)
4 strawberries lol (& having a funky avatar!!;))
5 leafy greens & accomplishing things;))

1. Lenny
2. London
3. inspiring things that happen to other people ;))
4. inspiring people who live life as it’s fun to be lived!! ;))
5. my Life LOL

1. rice puffs
2. computer and all its magic ways (to record, watch silly musicals & connect with people across the globe.. Yes you too!!;))
3. the fact that LOTR is a musical too!! LOL
4. that I am a strong tuff woman who can carry groceries even if her back does hurt a bit later!! ;)))
5. yummy juices in glass bottles…!! hate the un-recyclable cartons/mixed-media packagings.. Luckily there is now more than 1 brand of juices in glass too.. (not sure if any are organic yet, but it is a step in the right direction..) Now if the bottles were returnable that would be even more awesome, but at least they are reusable at home (must make more natural juices!), or glass itself is recyclable… sorta
6. my superior car-driving abilities… lol
7. a very cool song called CutGlass played by Gdansk – found at this Myspace: PivoPivo in Glasgow!!

(No idea why it sounds better at the PivoPivo site!!)

1. my common sense… Compared to some people, yup, I’m pretty normal!! lol
2. that the ‘big garbage’ was already towed away when I was on my walk.. It really broke my heart looking at perfectly usable & dazzling things exposed to rain yesterday & be cross at our local & overall government (or NGOs) to not have a better plan with garbage..
3. that I went for a walk ;)) YAY I was brave!! still grey day here.. & awfully boring, sorta..
4. my parents – for calming up after hearing I have a visit from the US in a few days;))
5. the computer – being able to connect to a lot of people online.. (& test my odd conversation/communication theories as we go along… – YAY some work!!;)))
6. YAY for the books I’ve read – some of that stuff is actually paying off now too… ;)) Good to know!!
7. Yeah for feeling meaningful & ‘useful’ & ‘accomplished’... again.. (though terribly sleepy & tired..;))
8. Yay for doing a fuller yoga/back exercises-routine yesterday.. & that awesome movie Leadbelly!! Some awesome music there!!
9. Yay for feeling calm & peace yesterday night..! (after eating tuna fish lol)
10. Yay for food!! (It does baffle me sometimes, what to eat & such.. but still, yummy food is one of Life’s greatest pleasures!! lol & it can be healthy and totally & wonderfully yummy too!!)
11. Oh & for some utterly & awesomly (& surprisingly) wonderful music called Bubble Life LOL – very calming when I was nervous.. Even though I normaly don’t listen to such music at all!!

1. J & her funky ways… she’s really creative & I admire that!!
2. Amy & her funky ways LOL It was fun talking to her yesterday after a long while..
3. London – for the sheer fact of its existance!! ;))
4. I started a short story yesterday – after a long time of not-starting anything literature-wise!! – & for having the house off, all by myself yesterday… it was soo utterly & astonishingly amazing!!
5. for at least having some clue what to do nutrition-wise & exercise-wise & the wonderful info online that helped me get a clue.. ;))
6. for again the immense chuckles at the Eurovision Team, as always!! (& some at the forums LOL)

1. my Coz – she’s gorgeous & energetic, & I do love her!!
2. my Sis – she lets me stay at the PC for surprisingly long times lately!! – ?! (not always best-used time, though /blushing/)
3. the Eurovision Team!! LOL made me giggle – again!!!
4. my guitar & the big piles of songs… they’re not recorded yet & they’re not perfect, but they’re lovely & I do love singing them… make me feel peaceful…
5. I got lots of responses at a couple of forums I frequent.. in the past few days.. I am still a bit confused about my immediate future, but it’s good to know so many people care & have taken time to tell me of their opinions & ideas & advice…
I’m grateful Ryanair flights to London are so cheap, but still a bit scared of the whole idea… & not sure how to go about it, 100%... unexpected things keep popping up & I go ‘Whoa, what’s this now?’ I really have to sit down & ‘think’ with a piece of paper & pencil in my hand, or I’m gonna frenzy through whole March & not really have a clue how to go about it…
I’m grateful for the peace that ensues after scribbling stuff on the piece of paper though… ;))

1. cool nutrition & exercise info online
2. me turning into a ‘bodybuilder’ LOL!!
3. garlic & chilli!! ;))
4. protein & muscle
5. unexpected surprises!!
