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

Today I’m grateful:

1. That South Africa are on their way to the finals in the World Cup Rugby! Woo hoo!!! Yessssssssssss!!!
2. That hubs got his vacation leave approved, and we’ll be in the UK for Christmas. =)
3. For a good week of workouts at gym.
4. For my new iPod classic that keeps me rocking while I work out (yep, I finally caved and became an iPod person after swearing blindly that I wouldn’t. And I love it!)
5. A home, a husband, and two kitties to come home to at the end of my work day. I am blessed indeed!

Today I’m grateful:

1. That I got to see Dave Matthews Band live last night. I’m still on a high… =)
2. That I have a hubs who will tag along to concerts like that with me, even though he’s not a big fan.
3. For kitties that give me headbutts, nestle into my side, and sleep on my tummy if I stay still long enough.
4. For cat purrs.
5. For lazy Sunday afternoon snoozes.

Today I’m grateful for:

1. John Lee’s entries. He cracks me up.
2. Dinner at a friend’s house this evening. So looking forward to it! =)
3. It’s weekend in 15 minutes!
4. An hour to relax online this afternoon after a hectic day’s work.
5. Phone calls from home.

Today I’m grateful for:

1. My hubs still being alive. He had a nasty accident that involved a forklift and a moronic truck driver pulling out withut checking the back of his truck before doing so on Friday. When I think of how it could easily have gone worse than it did…. ::shivers::
2. A little extra money in the bank and shopping trips to spoil my hubs
3. A long weekend that I’m enjoying every minute of.
4. My new laptop.
5. Having the extra time to get chores done, play with the cats, surf the net, and even have an afternoon kip. Yay for three-day weekends! =)

Today I’m grateful for:

1. A quiet day at work after the long weekend.
2. 43Places. I have such fun interacting with Russell, Todd, Murray and Doris there.
3. My camera that helps me preserve memories of places we’ve visited.
4. The people who work hard to preserve Florida’s natural habitats. We visited Rainbow Springs State Park this weekend, (photo above) and fell in love with it.
5. Sharing this photo, and a laugh with Scott. He recently moved here from New York, and our insects, gators and snakes are freaking him out.

Today I’m grateful for:

1. the moon! And Venus! Together! Did you see them? What a splendid sight!
2. my tripod. I was being lazy and trying to see if I could get a shot without it, and all I got were white smears on a black background. I went and got it eventually. ;)
3. my new Audubon field guide to Florida that I bought earlier this evening. It was money well spent – I’m loving it already.
4. hubs holding my hand whenever we’re walking around. :)
5. a wonderfully lazy Saturday, with a little ‘wildlife spotting’ right from our apartment porch. We saw a snake that we haven’t identified yet, a cute squirrel that my cat chattered at for ages, a brown anole shedding it’s skin, and an White ibis or two.

Today I’m grateful for:

1. a huge great cheer bomb from ToddieM Thanks Todd! :)
2. good travel tips from Russell Thanks R8! :)
3. the laughs that I get from interacting with the two of them
4. online language translators like babelfish.com – it’s come in handy this past week!
5. 43T and 43P. These sites have honestly made such a huge difference to my outlook on life since I found them. Thanks robots!

Today I’m SO grateful:

1. for the rain! Woo hoo! Delicious, life-giving, fire-killing rain! Finally! (o) I’m crossing my fingers that North Florida is getting some too.
2. for the blue skies I saw this morning. The smoke has finally gone. Those poor little birds that have been dying like flies the past week because of it must be overjoyed!
3. for being woken up to kisses goodbye from hubs every morning as he leaves for work. :)
4. for Counting Crows. I’m listening to one of their songs right now. “Hey Monkey, where you been…?” They rock!
5. for a break from the rain long enough to sit outside and enjoy egg salad and a fresh breadroll for lunch.

Today I’m grateful:

1. That I am loved. So much. I pray that I never take that for granted.
2. For a wonderfully cool, breezy, beautiful day.
3. For Chinese takeout for lunch. I enjoyed it sitting outside with my work-buddy, having a good chat.
4. For increased work responsibility. I’d far rather be busy than not have enough to do.
5. For big comfy couches to flop into and veg at the end of a long day.

Today I’m grateful for:

1. My zippy little car that gets me to work and back, and everywhere else I feel like going… I can’t believe I got along without one for so long.
2. Broccoli and cheese soup from Subway. Yummmmm.
3. Catching a look at the right time, and cracking up laughing with my ops manager. He’s awesome!
4. My new little ammonia level gizmo for my aquarium. It sure makes life a lot easier.
5. New entries from my buddy alcachofa :) I’ve missed him.
