I also wanted a place to post gratitudes. A couple of nights ago, I talked to one of my oldest friends, Tawnya. Tawnya is on her way back from a two week car journey out west, a trip she calls her "vision quest". One of the things that we talked about was voicing and showing gratitude for the blessings in one's life. And I realized that I could be more grateful. Or at least I could voice my gratitude more often.
So anyone who reads this will probably get an eyeful of all sorts of varia that will amuse, confuse, amaze, frighten, or simply nauseate. Read at your own risk.
Today's gratitudes:
- I am grateful for my job, and for finding employment that allows me to be me, at least 75% of the time. I love teaching with every fiber of my being.
- I am grateful to have a home in a beautiful, relatively safe neighborhood with neighbors who look out for us.
- I am grateful for my family...people who love me unconditionally, even when it's hard to do.
- I am grateful for my husband, and for all the lessons I'm learning by loving you.
- I am grateful for my friends...my chosen family. I am so grateful to the handful of girlfriends that have stuck with me for years and years and eons.
- I am grateful for my four pups, who fill my days with love and who think I'm the most wonderful creature on earth.
- I am grateful for my smarts, which compensate for many other inadequacies.
- I am grateful for whatever it is within me that has allowed me to lose 104 pounds and counting.
Off to class in a minute. I'm giving a test, which means that I really don't have to do anything except proctor and make sure no one's helping him/herself to someone else's answers. Afterward, I'll go to the local coffee perk and grade papers, and maybe blog some more. Who knows.
