Today I am grateful for.......

This is just a thread for us to post what we are grateful for today.... you can post everyday, somedays, once a month whenever.... it's up to you..... and post whatever you wish, but I ask to stay on topic, keep it positive and honest......

Today, I am grateful for Lady Sage, Sapphire (our puppy), my son, a job I love, our cats and most of all the smiles I shared with people today, strangers, clients, friends and family.......

My muse coming back. It's been back for the last few days, and I've been writing up a storm. It's made me very happy. While i've been in school, the concentration and such have pretty much left the muse on the back-burner, but it' only returned a few days ago, when my last day of school was the 1st of August- so it's been like 2 weeks.

I'm just really glad to have it back... I miss it when it's not here.

For the good friends I've made here.

Also, for the short trip I'm heading tomorrow. I need a few days to get away from stress I've been dealing with for a while now.

I am grateful (unbelieveably so) for the opportunity to have the job I have. It's what I've wanted to do for so long... I even more grateful that now that I have the job, I find I was right in my belief that it's a job I can do and at which I can excel.

I am grateful because today I re-connected with a strength of will that I had lost a little over a year ago. Something I will never allow to fade again. I feel like I'm myself again.

Today.. I am greatful for my delish breakfast.

Consisiting of a 3 egg omlette with sautee'd sliced green chili, cilantro, and garlic mixed in, and 40 grams of cheddar cheese. Along with a cup of diluted Moka espresso and a 1/4 cup of coconut milk.

A meal fit for a king!

Today has been a difficult day. But I am grateful for the love and support of my friends and family in Seattle. I am glad I had the time and opportunity to travel home for a week to be with them, and to feel a renewed sense of home. I wish I could stay here longer; I am also glad just for the land here, the mountains and ocean and everything that composes the Pacific Northwest. My foundation gives me strength to go back and take up my life far away from home, since I know that there will always be love for me here in Seattle.

I agree with Spectre, we should always let our friends know how great they are to us.
