#1 Nick da Dawg – he’s a mess and always wants to play but that little dog brings me peace I am grateful for each and every day. #2 My dream of Australia – it is quite possible the most focus I’ve ever been on doing everything I can to make this a reality. Permanently. #3 Writing – besides music, writing is my best friend. … Continue reading Grateful – Day 11
#1 Emigrate released a date for their new album. I know, you’re thinking, “Really? You’re grateful for that?” Yes, I really am grateful for that. If you know me, you know I LOVE RAMMSTEIN as much as I do Jimmy Buffett. Both are tied for number one position in favorite artist(s). Weird combo I know. Emigrate is Richard Kruspe’s (guitarist for Rammstein) side project. It … Continue reading Grateful – Day 10
Day 9 is all about the greatness of Sundays. #1 Lazy Sundays – I know most people dread Sundays because that means the weekend is over and the work week starts in 24 hours, but I love Sundays especially lazy Sundays where I don’t have to put pants on (read Grateful – Day 8 regarding my feelings towards pants). #2 Chinese Sundays – it’s sort … Continue reading Grateful – Day 9
#1 New hair style – I love my hairstylist, Melissa at Illuminate Salon. She absolutely rocks. Even when I lived in Detroit, I would drive all the way to NC to have her cut my hair. I’ve been with her for as long as I can remember and trust her with whatever cut and color she gives me. #2 My nieces – they are the … Continue reading Grateful – Day 8
#1 Coffee – plain. No cream. No sugar. I use to load it full of sugar and cream but one day I just stopped putting all the extra crap in it. I’m not cranky without it. I’m not better with it. Sometimes, it’s just a treat to have and sometimes it is a start to a beautiful morning. #2 Snooze button – sometimes that extra … Continue reading Grateful – Day 7
#1 Headache free, well sort of. I know that’s an odd thing to be grateful for but I have lived with headaches and migraines for as long as I can remember. I’ve taken every pill dedicated to helping headaches. I’ve even been prescribed anti-depressants for my migraines. Nothing has worked and quite frankly, I gave up shoveling money for prescription after prescription that failed to … Continue reading Grateful – Day 6
#1 – I am grateful for Geico’s Roadside Service. It was a lifesaver at 9 am in the morning when your neighbors are already at work and your roommate is vacationing. I was able to have my car jumped so I could get to an auto store for a new battery that I should have had installed in April. #2 – Omar at O’Rielly’s Auto … Continue reading Grateful – Day 5
#1 – open doors and windows. There is nothing better than having the windows and doors open and letting fresh air and sunlight in. I’m grateful I can do this at work (especially the last 2 days when I’ve been alone) to appreciate the sight and sounds of nature. To able to sit at my desk, look out the door and see the fall colors … Continue reading Grateful – Day 4
#1 – I’m grateful that I can bring my dog to work. It is a great way to relieve the work day stress. #2 – As a much as it is a pain in the tushy, walking/running with the three furballs below keep me on my toes and light on my feet. I’m not the most coordinated person in the world but I somehow manage to … Continue reading Grateful – Day 3
Day 2 of Grateful #1 Being able to watch the Universe unfold. Most of the day I sat at the dining room table writing only to be distracted by the same bird landing on on the porch railing and picking at the dirt in basil plant that sat on the railing. The plant was on it’s last leg when I put it outside a few … Continue reading Grateful – Day 2
