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

Grateful to have the day off. I am happy to have one more day. I am going to use it to prep for tomorrow and also get the report finished with out hving to worry about the flood of emails. I need to rmember that its ok to have this day off. Sometimes my organizaiton is doesn’t respect that element of our jobs. emails are 24/7.

Grateful for friends and I feel loved

Grateful for my house.

Grateful for my Dad and Mom. It’s been a challenging road at times, but we’ve come through it. I am especially reminded after talking to a friend whose parents are really struggling. My parents are fine. They don’t communicate very well together and there is tension,but they stick together and go forward.

For my computer. I think I will work in a cafe today.

Grateful for my friends. I have been so not myself this last year and my friends had really stuck with me. Today I was over emotional and sappy when a friend offered to host a potluck for my birthday. I just lost it. Tears swelled and I lost it. I am feeling so anxious about work and feeling like they don’t recognize my strengths. BOOM. seeing that my friends and family see ME and love ME just makes me cry with relief.

I don’t think I have any thing else tonight.

- For the inspiration to create a walnut,brown sugar and blueberry topping for dessert yesterday. It satisfied. I’m trying to eat more super foods. (food high in good stuff) Although this had the brown sugar and butter in it, it still had walnuts and blueberries. Good for you food. Yum.

Most grateful for my friends who came down to visit me. Such wonderful folks. F is my goddaughter and it took a little while to warm up to me but by the end we were playing stage performance and just had fun. We went for a beatiful walk in the rain. It was wonderful.

I watched Drum line last night a movie about marching band’s drum line. Brought back memories of my marching band experiences in hs. that was fun. I’m grateful for those experiences.

For having a great vacation this december. I had such a nice time at home with visit with my family. I loved having this time back here to settle into my place. I love that I finally found my altar space and had time to meditate . It’s going to be a great year.

For today and the opportunity to be with my friends. Breakfast , lunch and dinner with old friends. It can be SO quiet in this little house of mine. It will be great to be with some friends.

May you feel connected to God’s creation and her creatures in this glorious day.

I know that gratitude is the key to a grounded , fulfilled life.

I am grateful for my dear friends, L, D, and B. I had such a fun time with them yesterday at the polar bear plunge. Jumping in cold body of water on New YEars day. What a fun thing to do and I hope will set my 2010 a path of being more alive, having fun and being adventorous.

For this week of being with my family and now time off to relax and remotivate myself. I love the last 2 weeks in DEC.

For my friend S her family coming down to see me today. I am having a hard time connecting with folks and shw is really making an effort.
