Weekend Gratitudes
1. For my friends B & Z, who were available on a moment’s notice when I needed cheering up.
2. For their friend J, who treated us all to dinner.
3. That I’m finally starting to see income from the second job.
4. That my new roommate is a sweetheart and has helped me with the condo and my life in more ways than just paying rent.
5. That it won’t be long now before it’s spring in the Bay Area.

Today I am grateful
1. That my friend and colleague had a successful surgery and is expected to recover fully. (The surgery was risky and urgent.)
2. That while I still have not fully recovered, my injury no longer prevents me from working.
3. That because I’m now working, I will actually have some “disposable” income this month.
4. That I’ve been discovering old friends, and solidifying current friendships, via the Internet.
5. Salted Caramel Signature hot chocolate at Starbucks.

Tuesday, January 20, 2009 – INAUGURATION DAY!
1. I’m proud and honored to be an American.
2. How appropriate to celebrate MLK’s birthday just one day before Obama’s inauguration.
3. Barack Hussein Obama now replaces William Jefferson Clinton as my President (I was in complete denial about GWB).
4. All around me at school (a college) there’s a renewed sense of hope and optimism for the future of America and the world.
5. The first Hawaiian President!
