I have wonderful, loving friends. I really feel like I can’t say that enough.

I’m grateful for cuddle piles. Oh so grateful. I apparently attract them. Oh phooey. Lol.

I’m grateful for the LTC (sorry for the inside joke, but it’s sub rosa.) Some of my readers will get this.

The crazy credit from the overpaid electric bill (mentioned in the 10-19 Gratitudes) lasted until THIS MONTH. That’s nearly a year. Holy cow do I conserve electricity or what?

My co-worker and temporary roomie found a great apartment for herself.

I seem to have at least some cool coworkers. The rest remain to be seen…

I’m grateful to my ex, who gave me the idea of keeping this journal. Not only is it a good exercise in and of itself, it’s great to have on days like this when I feel lousy, to remind me just how amazing my life really is.

I’m grateful that I chose to pursue this career via a path that provides helpful mentors and supportive colleagues. Though I think I’m done playing “Never Have I Ever” at the bar. This support network was something I had felt so sorely lacking in my last job, but it took me years to figure out what it was. I guess we really do go through all our experiences for a reason, or else I’m not sure if I’d appreciate this on the same level.

I’m grateful that I continue on my journey to find myself every day, and that I possess the skills and ability for constant reflection, introspection and improvement. It’s a vision that not all have.

Wow, it’s been a long time.

For starters I am grateful for so many wonderful things going on in my life that have made me too busy to post here!

I’m grateful that not only did I get the apprenticeship, my cooperating teacher is amazing. Not only do our styles mesh really well work-wise, we get along well on a personal level too.

In that same vein, the rest of the school is likewise very supportive. In the few short weeks I’ve been here, I’ve acquired several big brothers and sisters.

I’m also grateful that I always manage to have enough money to do the things I need to. Now if only I could have enough to put some in the bank and do the things I WANT to lol. It will come, I know. I’m just not patient.

I’m grateful to my parents for always being my biggest cheerleaders, and for tossing in that little extra bit of help when I need it.

I’m grateful my body clock wakes me, even when my alarm doesn’t.

I’m grateful that I can look back at the last 7 years and realize how far I’ve come.

I’m grateful for the knowledge that I will never be alone, and never have to worry about a roof over my head.

I have a purpose, a path, and the drive… Let’s go!

I’m honored and humbled that I have been asked not just to stand up at a dear friend’s wedding, but to stand at the bride’s side as she joins with her husband.

I’m ecstatic that my new career is progressing according to plan.

I’m grateful that my life is so full of great things that I’ve been too busy to post.

I’m grateful for olive branches, and even more grateful that it’s not always me extending them

I’m glad to finally be well enough to be back in the gym.

I’m grateful for the simple things like nights in snuggled on the couch with ice cream and a movie.

I’m blessed with not being horrible at anything. No really… I’m really good at a few things, and passable at others, but there’s few things I’m really bad at… I’m techie enough to hang with the nerds, musical enough to hang with the music folks, and athletic enough to never be picked last at almost any sport.

All in all… Not bad.
