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

Today I am so grateful…

• For Kevin doing all the running around that needed to be done for insurance purposes.

• For Sam’s text message: “Why can’t all parents be like you?” which made my day.

• For an influx of money.

• For Adam’s performance with Queen on AI that I just now watched.

• For Obama’s supreme court nominee.

This evening I am so grateful…

• For the ease that I have with Sam. It’s nice to be able to communicate with someone so effortlessly.

• For spending the day at my desk and getting things done.

• For dinner with my family.

• That it looks like my treadmill will be fixed soon.

• That Kevin made my computer run so so so much faster! YAY!

Today I am grateful for:

• The wonderful time I had talking with a close friend and my sister that just arrived from WA.

• A clean house

• Time to bake

• The most awesome husband

• Easy-going children

Today I am so grateful…

• For Max’s singing in the shower as I type. I have never heard him do that before. It makes me happy to hear him sing.

• For Max’s complete honesty today at our lunch together (I need to be alone with each of them way more often!). He discussed openly his thoughts and curiosity about alcohol, smoking and drugs. He’s 18 and hasn’t started anything yet and has made good choices so far and I have faith he’ll continue to do so. I’m just glad he felt comfortable enough to talk with me.

• For my monetary award at work today! YAY!

• to have a date with Kevin tonight.

• To be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel and begin to consider homeownership.

This is a Max day so here is a picture of Max.

Today I am grateful for:

• a clean bill of health.

• Max’s art show at school.

• Kevin who showed up on time and happy to attend events with me.

• Dinner with my boys.

• An empty weekend ahead.

Today I am so grateful for…

• Lunch with my dad. He was very interested in the details and emotional status of everyone in the family. Unexpected but appreciated.
• Carmelized salmon!
• The huge amount of support, friendship and understanding I get to participate in with my online communities.
• Cherries (with stems) on top of my sundaes.
• Kaiser’s OBGyn nursing staff who scheduled and advised me with compassion and skill.

Today I am grateful for…

• Green bagels and cream cheese! Weird but fun!
• The support I’ve gotten from everyone.
• That even though I had a miscarriage at least I know that I can still get pregnant after a 17 year gap.
• That I work at a place that encourages me to take time off.
• That I work at a place that supports working from home.

Today I am so grateful…

• For being PREGNANT!
• For having a wonderful husband who will do anything to make me comfortable and happy. He’s so supportive.
• For having a really good job filled with supportive friends and understanding management…and good money with interesting work that helps the community to boot.
• For Sam being the lead in the school play. Not only is he awesome but it’s allowed him to grow in ways that wouldn’t have happened so I’m glad his drama teacher pushed a little bit to make him stretch.
• For Max’s willingness to start putting himself out there.
