Daily: Reflect on at least 5 things for which I'm grateful (Happiness Manifesto #2)

This weekend was bitterly beautiful, if that makes any sense…

I’m super grateful:

1. that the flying feathers from the massive pillow fight managed to teach me something I didn’t fully realize about myself…

2. that the city offered me a well-needed saturday out with my best friend…a beautiful evening…

3. for the movie Imaginary Heroes. Its the most amazing movie ever, my fav movie of all time; it can easily be described as beautiful. Emile Hirsch is awesome. Long live indie films!!

4. for midterms clogging up my mental clarity, and allowing me to witness things in a different light…strange…

5. for movies that bring ppl together and make u feel emotion that nearly nothing else can draw from a person…yes I’m refering again to Imaginary Heroes cuz it was honestly the best part of my weekend! You must all see this film, u will not be disappointed! A great part of the movie made me realize even deeper how much I cherish my best friend, and that I’d do anything for him.

Beauty lies within everything, even in the most unespected things…

I’m super grateful 1- for my mom’s yummy thanksgiving dinner and the hard work she put into it. 2- for spending some time with my mom, even if it wasn’t for too long. 3-that what I made for dinner yesterday did not burn and that it came out pretty good :) 4- that even though I felt incredibly sick, my thanksgiving was still great. 5- for a thanksgiving marathon of my favorite show.

I’m grateful for:

Light and airy rain
the tradition of Halloween (I can’t wait)
understanding professors (life savers!)
books (I’ve connected woth so many ppl thru our love of books)
sweet goodbyes (yes, they exist!)
the end of a hectic week (Sigh!)

I’m super grateful

• that the incredible stress I was feeling at the beginning of the week is clearing.
• for new classes this semester. I’m really excited to learn about new things and will take head-on my professors’ challenges.
• reuniting with my school friends this week after summer break.
• finding “a little piece of heaven” in an unexpected place.
• the mets and this baseball season; i’m cheering on that they keep thier #1 spot.
• for my totally awesome friend; “the love of my life” brightens my day always :D

Carpe Diem & Carpe Noctum!!

Although work sucks, I’m incredibly grateful for the things that sandwich the horrific physically deteriorating experience:

1. Having something to look forward to that makes its completely worthwhile waking up at 7am.
2. Carwash!! I am sooo sunburned, but it was so worth it! I never thought standing around in the sun for 5 hrs could be so fulfilling!
3. Discovering new music. I have no idea what I’d do without music and I love finding out about new artists.
4. Finally being able to rest after a long work day.
5. New job opportunities. I hope something great pulls through for me cuz I’ve had it with my current job! Things seem to being pointing in the right direction :)
6. That my friends include me even when I’m not there. LOL so hilarious! I love them so!
7. That my mom supports me no matter what. She may have a very conservative mindset as opposed to my incredibly liberal state of being, but she finds a way to try to understand. Pretty cool!:)

I feel that I’ve been losing faith or connection, but hope still lives!

I’m feeling particularly grateful for:

1. This goal existing on 43 Things and all of the people who have this as their goal and comment on this page. I was looking at “Daily: Refelct on at least 5 things for which I’m grateful” minus the “Happiness Manifesto #2” and was considering changing my goal to that one instead. The reason for this is because I figured, since it has 163 more people, therefore more supporters. Then I realized it would be a massive mistake because I love this goal and all of the people here totally rock because you have all proven to be incredibly supportive and uplifting. Thanks to all of you!

2. My Goddaughter turning 2, she’s absolutely adorable.

3. Today at the office, so amazing!

4. My chilled and relaxed co-workers, they make the experience all the more sweeter and provide a relief from the sometimes stucky environment.

5. Volunteering abroad, I can’t wait!

6. The student agency helping to plan my hopeful backpacking trip, they’re helping to make it amazing!

7. The Village. Its the best place ever.

8. The Beat generation and the 60s generation. I feel as if a piece of both are a part of me even if it was way before my time. It helped to shape our society today, whether thats a good or bad thing.

9. Live shows. Feeling the energy of the music live, its indescribable.

10. Street festivals. I live for them!

Love, Peace, and Rock On! Behold the jewel in the lotus!

I’m especially grateful for:

1. commodities that developing countries may not have
2. beautiful india, hopefully i’ll see you soon!
3. new acquaintances, buddies, friends, and co-workers
4. my new pillow, ohhh the cloud-ness of it!
5. next semester, and a chance to redeem oneself
6. tv show guilty pleasures
7. learning experiences
8. nice cool drinks (non-alcoholic of course!)
9. my teddy
10. last and most definitely not least my wonderful and gorgeous mother! (who I’m always eternally grateful for having!)
