Gratitude: 1/13/2009

  1. The Broke Person Paradox: I don't like seeing the money go but I am happy when the bills are paid.
  2. Exaggerating (in the name of good fun and laughter).
  3. Starting the day with a good friend.
  4. Call with my mentor.
  5. Call with a new friend to discuss happiness.
  6. Being flexible.
  7. There is only love.
  8. Loving myself. Today I do!
  9. TV - Junk food for my mind.
  10. Homemade pizza for dinner with tortillas instead of making dough.
  11. You Tube! We found someone playing the D major scale on the violin when H was stumped! So cool.
  12. H's teacher took the time to find her a 3/4 violin and it's made a lot of difference in her practice.
  13. Delay start on the washer, dryer and dish washer. Sometimes I can do things on my own time - and still have them run when the electricity is cheaper.
  14. The apology letter H wrote me for stomping up the stairs.
  15. Using the letter to discipline her for throwing a tantrum instead of throwing my own tantrum in response.
  16. Creating the space for her to think through her actions instead of telling her what's right/wrong.
  17. This chick rocks: Happiness wants to come easy. YES!
  18. Commenting on other blogs and getting new comments on mine. What a cool thing.
  19. Being unafraid.
  20. Tackling a nagging task (or 2) today.
