a new year
it's the beginning of a new year, and although i am entering into my mid twenties feeling as though i have not really accomplished much in my life, i've decided that with each day i am going to actively search out those things for which i am grateful. life has its ups and downs, but i feel that if i can seek out those things that make it worthwhile then those dips in life won't seem so big. last week i found myself in a rather foul mood...and in such i wasted an entire week on negative energy instead of turning my perspective towards the positive and appreciating all the good things that happened last week. so...since i can't change what's already happened or do anything about it, i can turn over a new leaf! look at me being mature, wOOt!
alright, so what am i grateful for today?
* being able to have a birthday dinner with aria. i haven't really hung out with her in months despite living 2 doors down in the same apartment...it will be great to actually spend some time with her.
* the wonderful vase full of flowers that greeted me today when i got into work...they are seriously beautiful
* my birthday wake up call at the tender hour of 4am...i apologize if i was incoherent...it was a great way to wake up :)
* my cat..i love my cat..she was so happy to see me last night, and has followed me around the entire apartment meowing with happiness. she even slept on my head last night (it was more comfortable than it sounds) and gave me kitty kisses. i <3 ares!
* dr. matt turned on the heat at work today!!! this may not sound like a lot, but he usually doesn't do it until after Christmas, so huzzah!
* all of the lj-lovin' i've gotten so far! ::hugs::
it's not even 10am yet and i'm already having a great day!! :)
*update! thank you everyone for the birthday wishes :):)
