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

1. technology. the information available to me via technology.
2. excitement.
3. free music – I don’t know what I’m going to get yet, but I’m glad for the possibilities.
4. running.
5. finding an outlet for my thoughts.

• he has essentially put me in charge of picking all the stuff for his renovation! cabinets, counters, windows, flooring, hardware, colors! :)

1. we had such a good time at the corn maze! that was even more fun that I had thought it would be!!
2. MD got her dress! I got to be there! it is absolutely lovely!
3. after running, I crave ketchup, and I was glad to have some.
4. how lovely it is to wake up like that.
5. pancakes!

1. 18 miles are done, and it was a good run and even fun.
2. I get to go to a corn maze tonight, and I’ve never done that before!
3. my boyfriend – he’s cuddly. I can’t believe its almost been a year…
4. I’m already doing a good job as maid of honor… that makes me feel good.
5. there are people who really respect (AND SEEK!!) my advice.

1. that my mom is a prof. at a local university – the papers her kids write are funny (unfortunately, in a sad way…, but it is still funny)
2. I get to run 18 miles tomorrow. Its been a while since I’ve run that far, and I’m excited about it.
3. my new recipe really worked – its quite yummy, and it was good to have broccoli again – its been a while on that, too.
4. the free bagels I got – I had the last 1 this morning, and they were quite good.
5. a band that I missed last year is coming back again this year! :)

1. ;)
2. the dry cleaner man is very nice – he gave me a 20% discount! So… the total bill was only around $800. nice!
3. a change of plans that lets me be with my bf a little bit more.
4. the dresses we are looking at are beautiful – I have no hope or belief that I will ever wear a bridesmaid’s dress after the wedding, but it will be fun to really like the dress!
5. the sweet things that he says.

1. I woke up in the best way this morning. It made up for less than stellar sleep.
2. They called, and my glasses are in! YAY! I’m going to be able to see in just a little bit!
3. I’m going to get to try 2 restaurants this week that I’ve never been to, and a new recipe. I love exploring food!
4. My sweet, wonderful, and often silly boyfriend.
5. I have the option of running on a treadmill when the weather is rainy.

1. I feel “smiley” this morning (even though it isn’t morning anymore)
2. getting the refund on gas wasn’t a big to-do.
3. we can spend so much time together.
4. my new running shoes feel like heaven on my feet.
5. I feel like I have a backyard, so I can move my plants around as they need more or less sun. :)

1. seriously good food.
2. that I sleep so much better in our new apartment.
3. I’m going to be the maid of honor. It feels really nice to know that she trusts me so much…
4. clothes are starting to return to my closet.
5. he’s making me pizza tonight! :)

1. we had a very nice time last night; I got to pick the movie, and I really liked it – Nick & Nora’s Infinite Playlist… its just a smiley movie.
2. inventing recipes. He’s starting to get over the need for measuring, and as a result, we have a really yummy quiche!
3. my apartment is clean. My things are settled. The environment feels calm.
4. taking care of things. the feeling of accomplishment that comes with that.
5. I’m glad for my roommate; she got engaged last night. I’m not as happy for her as I should be, and I know that, but I am happy. Its just mixed with other things that will sort themselves out shortly.
