For today in particular, I am grateful that I had an excellent hairdresser who was willing to take on a difficult client. I am grateful that she did it for less money than my previous hairdresser. I am grateful that whenever I am sad I can think about / text / talk to Ross and be happy again. I am grateful that my "tough decisions" are not realy tough decisions at all. They are decisions about which house to buy and where (not omg my house is being foreclosed on, where am i going to go? what will i do?) They are decisions about whether to stay at a great job or leave to attend a great grad school. They are decisions about which of many fun things to do on a Saturday night.
I am thankful for my loyal and supportive friends, like Judi who makes me a more balanced person, Scott who makes me a more levelheaded and career-focused person, and Kelly who makes me a health-conscious person. Even the people that I don't like and that have pushed me in one way or another in my life, I am starting to let the grudges melt away and replace the grudges with gratitude because I genuinely believe people are put in your life for a reason - to teach you something, test you, build your character, or help you learn about yourself.
I am grateful for my patient boyfriend. He does his best to calm me down when I get worked up. He has ideas and opinions on everything. He has this vigilante sense of what he wants to do, and it making a difference and being the right thing. I remember when I used to have dreams like that, and I hope maybe being around him enough will inspire me to dream something of those things again. I hope that he wins.
I am grateful for bright sunny days like today. I am grateful for remote start on my car. I am grateful that I can go to the mall / spa, and "splurge" and not really feel too bad about it. Even on days when I am not loving my job, I can at least relish in the fact that I am not hurting financially. I am not tossing money on a new ensemble at the expense of my basic needs or my family's needs.
I am grateful for a warm comfy bed and a good ambien prescription to put me to sleep, and equally grateful that I can wake up in the morning, hit snooze, and enjoy the awesome view and the awesome bed and sometimes even some snuggling when Ross is around. I am grateful that I have opportunities.
