list life's happy moments

- After a rather hectic week last week. Mr.GS and I had some down time together this past weekend.
- Having drinks with friends last Friday evening. Thankfully no dancing where one should not…
- Getting my large quilt quilted. I dropped my black/white/red heart and swirls quilt to get quilted. I know I won’t get it back for the holidays but its for me… and it will seem like Christmas again in January.
- Hearing about others getting snow now and being so glad we have not yet
- Feeling genuine happy and content
- Happy seeing that the kid is doing ok and moving along in life quite nicely
- Not ready for Christmas just yet, but getting into the Thanksgiving spirit

- Having drinks with Mr.GS and listen to some older music.
- Cooking out on the grill and its November
- Slow dancing with my love :)
- Getting some things done we needed to get done today
- Conversations with someone from my past that put some demons to sleep
- Glad at where I am at in my life

It seems that this last week my happy moments have just run into each other… there isn’t just one that pops out in my mind. So my happy moment is just that I have been happy this last week.

- Celebrating my birthday, since I like to keep it going for a while
- The wonderful birthday wishes I have gotten from my 43T friends. I hope that all of you know what a great deal you all mean to me. {{{Hugs to all}}} for making my birthday just that extra special to me :)
- Remembering my father. My son coming home with his benefits package from his job, looking at me with that blank stare. I had a flash back of when I did that to my Dad.
- My friend Emily, her fun, loving spirit is so contagious; we have so much fun when we get together.

- The kid was offered a permenant postion at the printing corporation he has been temping at
- Getting things done this past weekend
- Sleeping well last night :)
- listening to the guys at work chatter

fall colors in a vine…

Fall colors.

Thank goodness I am numbering them and there is more than just one happy moment. :D
I downloaded some of my pics and last weekend Mr.GS was displaying some of his cooking skills… this is what we had for dinner. marinated pork roast, stuffed with mushrooms, asparagus and asiago cheese cooked on the grill. Can we say yummmmmmmeeeee

You can usually find Mr.GS and I together every other week. During the weeks we are not together he has custody of his kids. We are working our way to being together all the time. Yesterday started the week of having the kids. On the first day of having the kids we normally do not see each other, but yesterday was different.

We were able to spend time together. I try to look at the best part of any situation instead of looking at the negative part. So with that said, I think my postitive side is rubbing off on him. He had had a pretty stressful day and was trying very hard to find all the postives that happened during the day.

Here are more of my list of gratitude:
- thankful that I got to spend some extra time with Mr.GS
- being able to remain calm during stressful moments
- openly communicate with someone from my past about my feelings, realizing how far I have come in the last couple of years
- Talking to and connecting with my girlie friends
- being reminded of my freedoms, from the large picture of where I live all the way down to being thankful that I have the freedom to walk because I have the use of my legs or talk because I have a voice…

- Helping friends out in time of need
- Seren time… always welcomed
- Navigating around without the built up walls
- Wonderful dinner with friends
- Snuggling in rainy cold weather
