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.

I am grateful for properly marked detours that I can actually follow without getting lost.

I am grateful for an awesome sister who is helping act as tour guide through the crazy process of chasing my dream.

I am grateful for good friends, and long conversations that turn into confessions… and it’s all ok.

I’m blessed with knowing what my goal is, and having a clear path on which to pursue it.

I’m kicking this bronchitis bug and should be back in the gym before week’s end

I’m grateful that I need to update my desire list, because it means I’ve reached some of my goals.

I am grateful for days like today when I wake up and I feel beautiful.

The days when my hair falls just right, and my eyes are bright because I’ve actually slept, and even the wisps of grey look distinguished. The days when I’m reminded that my curves are in just the right proportions… The days when I walk past the mirror and catch myself, and can’t help but take a double-take and smile and think to myself “damn, I AM hot.”

These days make it easier to get through the days when my hair has a mind of its own and the greys taunt me like petulant children, and my eyes look like I’ve gone 5 rounds with a prize fighter. The days when my curves feel more like rolls that I can’t seem to get rid of.

Days like today remind me that those other days are exactly that – “one of those days” and not the real me. Because the real me is beautiful.

I’m grateful for quiet nights in with a movie, Chinese food and a good friend.

I’m grateful that even though I’d rather be on vacation like so many others, at least the fact that everyone else is out makes the traffic super light!

I’m grateful for a warm, cozy apartment on cold blustery nights.
