How I did it: I made it a habit to sit down every night before I went to bed and write in my journal 5 things for which I was grateful/thankful for. At first it may be hard but you can pick WHATEVER you want! Eventually I got to the point where I could make a list of 100 things I found I was especially thankful for and that I enjoyed (in that day or life in general.)

How I did it: I'm merging this with another goal simply because 43 things is not allowing my posts to go through easily any more. I like this and will continue it on another goal.

- fab terrine, G said 2 notches up from last time – looked beautiful with the pistachios!
- G’s lovely Gigondas 1985 mmmmm drinking perfectly now!
- a brilliant evening in general – first we attempted to watch Bottle Shcok which was extremely dire despite having Alan Rickman in it, so we only managed about 15 minutes, and then we decided to watch D.E.B.S., our favourite film 5.2 on IMDB WTF? 10.0 surely! totally wonderful, so no Sunday night blues for me :)
1.) not waking with a headache today. a first in three days.
2.) talking to one. I totally forgot I’d been mad at him a few hours earlier. and talking again later.
3.) cleaning the Senseo and coffee tasting. I thought the coffee wasn’t tasting right, and today the loose ground bold tasted weak. maybe it’s time for a new coffee maker.
4.) looking up what the events are this week. another memoir project series and another dance.
5.) bare feet and warm grass.
_Nessa just feels so alone...
1. working – long conversations with tom
2. confidence – laughing – crying – leting it out
3. seeing the bright side of losing a true inpiration – learning to survive by myself
