22:05 Things I’m Grateful For This Week
1. I’m grateful for my reaction immediately upon falling on my back on thursday after the chin-up bar came loose, that I calmed myself and managed to stay put while thoughts of broken bones raced my head. I’m glad I could spot silver linings and think with gratitude as I regained movement on my limbs.
2. I’m grateful I’ll probably be able to resume working out tomorrow or no later than tuesday.
3. I’m grateful for getting all my chinese character progress so far into my palm’s supermemo software and for how much quality and efficiency that’ll add to the learning process.
4. I’m grateful for this weekend’s great jazz concerts from one musician branch of our family from Rio, and for a nice time spent with them in between.
5. I’m grateful I’ve been actually able to throw and catch three balls multiple times with just three days’ juggling practice! It’s crazy looking back at how I felt only yesterday, as sure as death I’d never be able to throw and catch even two balls consistently. Mechanical skills are a magical thing.

... that we decided not to pull my dad’s bakkie’s engine out this morning, because later it rained.
... that we have a reliable workshop in town who can do the job.

Today, I am grateful…
for long weekends, my work schedule this summer gives me every Fri, Sat, and Sun off
staying in last night and just listening to other peoples’ fireworks along with the nightly summer chorus of frogs and bugs
lots of time to lie around and read
a nice time out on Friday night; my husband and I are trying a new-to-us local restaurant every week just for fun and because we have gotten in the habit of eating out at the same few places all the time
for the thunderstorms during the night last night…it’s been hot and steamy and rainless lately…everything looked so clean this morning
crystalz Brick walls are there to let us prove how badly we want things.
...talking to my boyfriend this AM. He’s so sweet!
...hanging out with my kids last night watching fireworks. We had a nice setup by grabbing a foam mat and a sleeping bag and laying on top of my xterra.
...my little boy who was laying on my shoulder watching fireworks.
...two pars yesterday and a ton of shots that landed on the green.
...golfing with my boys yesterday which was so much fun!
...a date with my BF tomorrow.
...being happy and excited today!
