Daily: Reflect on at least 5 things for which I'm grateful (Happiness Manifesto #2) (read all 88 entries…)
April 20, 2009 2 months ago

Things I’m grateful for today:
1. Co-workers that I get along with and like. It definitely makes work much more enjoyable when people are friendly and respectful to one another. I’ve worked in places where that was not the case and the atmosphere was horrid.
2. My years of French classes. While I’m by no means fluent, my general knowledge of the language is helping me recognize similar words in Italian. They’re not super similar, but enough that it’s a help for me.
3. Mass transit. The stars aligned this morning and I had perfect timing for the bus and el. Pretty excellent for a rainy day.
4. Clearance sales at bookstores.
5. Snuggly kitties. There’s one purring on my lap right now.



Stop overcomplicating things
I construct my own roadblocks 3 months ago

I’m struggling a bit with this right now. I think I’m noticing it now mostly because I’m trying to make a few changes and take more chances on things. I need to find more effective ways of dealing with my stress instead of letting it snowball until I’m a bundle of nerves.

Ticket bought, Accomendations booked 3 months ago

And in about six weeks I’ll be visiting Rome! Perhaps in the meantime I’ll do some planning and try to learn a little Italian.
