This is the last day of the 21 Day Grateful Challenge. If you’re just reading this, every day I had to find 3 things to be grateful for and it’s odd what I found to be grateful, but it truly showed me that sometimes the little things are the most important things. #1 Fridays – I know everyone is grateful when the weekend roles around … Continue reading Grateful – Day 21
#1 I’m a night owl. I like staying up late. I get a lot of stuff done in the wee hours. It makes for a terrible morning person but today I got up early (a miracle) and went on a two mile walk with the furballs and did yoga. I felt like a ninja all day. I’m grateful I got up. I think I may … Continue reading Grateful – Day 20
#1 My roommate, Melany. She’s the one that normally cooks and dusts and I am the one that does the mops and does the yard work. We’re not forced into these jobs, we both like to do them and it works for us as roommates. She’s been under the weather all week but sent me a text that said, “I feel bad I haven’t cooked all week” … Continue reading Grateful – Day 19
#1 That photo is one of my favorite moments of my day. Every day, I sit on the couch before I go to work and have a zen moment with the dogs. My roommates dogs Gypsy and Max are on either side and my dog, Nick, on my lap and every day, he does this. My dad summed it up best, “It’s amazing how much love … Continue reading Grateful – Day 18
#1 It was a beautiful fall day today and I was very grateful that I got to enjoy it with the doors open at work and in solitude. It was a quiet day in the office. Not a lot of phone calls or emails. I was able to just catch up and file away things. I know it’s weird to be grateful for that but … Continue reading Grateful – Day 17
#1 Walking the dog – it’s exercise for me and the dog of course but it’s also a moment that I get to share with Mother Nature and the Universe #2 Impromptu visits from friends – Sometimes the Universe just grants you an afternoon of much needed laughter and blowing off steam. You might not need it but maybe your friends do. #3 Making new … Continue reading Grateful – Day 16
For October 4th – I’m late on hitting publish for this post. I got sucked into a 4 hour marathon of Halloween Wars on Food Network. Who knew that pumpkin carving, sugar molding, and cake creating could consume my attention. #1 Childhood snacks. I didn’t know they made pumpkin flavored marshmallows until today and damn do they make tasty rice krispy treats. #2 Gardenias – the … Continue reading Grateful – Day 15
#1 Rain – it was very relaxing to have the doors open at work and being able to watch and listen to the rain. #2 My roommate, Melany – I’m grateful for her creative brain in the kitchen. She manages to come up with some of the best meals. The kitchen we share is pretty much a Chopped competition every day! #3 Driving with the windows … Continue reading Grateful – Day 14
#1 Creativity & the pursuit of creative happiness. I know you’re thinking WTF!?! I take on a lot of creative projects. I create a lot of creative projects. I fall short in a lot of creative projects. I half ass some of them and some I do well. The bottom line is I like doing them all. I don’t write over on my hockey side … Continue reading Grateful – Day 13
#1 Getting my tooth extracted. Yeah, I know, how can I be grateful for that? I’ve had this broken tooth since St Patrick’s Day weekend. It never bothered me, but it’s good to have it out. #2 Pain meds. I’ll take one and sleep like a baby tonight. Kind of stoked for 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep, even if it’s pharmaceutical induced and for one night. … Continue reading Grateful – Day 12
