TGIF

today I am grateful for

synchronicities - the right people at the right times
the fever is broken
clear, close friendships
a partner who can hear difficult things and is open to change
everything else

having a job

friends and family

a roof over my head

puppies

laughter

I am grateful for quiet and rest

for giggles in bed with my husband

for books which make me think

for friends that accept and forgive me

for a future.

remembering

tonight I'm grateful as always for my parents and for having full circle experiences now that I have my own child and understand more about being a parent
I'm grateful for my health and the health of my friends and family
I'm grateful for my home
that I didn't gain weight for a whole other 24 hours even though I ate candy last night
grateful that I have friends who remember important dates and call me to check in

'tis the season of reinvention

Things I am grateful for today:

some quiet time to think and organize myself
homemade granola
that the scale has gone down and stayed there for almost 24 hours!
the times when Oprah hits it in the mark - especially this week's show on how mother's lie about how they really feel about it all...
no full moon freak outs - yet
