gratitude

My best friend is posting things that make her thankful every day for twenty days. (I think. Give or take on the number of days.) I'm not nearly that diligent, but I like the idea. I think positive thinking helps. Here are some things I'm pretty thankful for:

- I'm thankful that there are amazingly kind people in my life. My roommate's boyfriend's parents sent me an Easter Basket. How sweet and thoughtful is that?! I mean, seriously?!

- I'm thankful that the weather has been perfect this week for the convertible. It's so therapeutic and soothing having the top down on sunny days. And, on a related note, I'm thankful for friends who love to ride in it with me.

- I'm thankful that I had an entire group of friends go to the basketball game with me on Friday night. That was so much fun.

- I'm thankful that I get to live with a roommate who has such fabulous taste in decor. It's so nice to come home to a beautiful apartment.

- I'm thankful that I have people who support me whether they see me every day or every few months or every few years. Support systems are so important.

- I'm thankful that I stopped accepting labels and restrictions I put on myself for too long. I'm thankful that even though I'm terrible at it, I'm cooking regularly. I'm thankful for friends who eat what I cook. I'm particularly thankful for my friend who is so cute that she writes me thank you notes for burning her dinner.



I'm not sure what I think about reincarnation, so I generally believe this is the only time I'll ever get to be 25. And I'm trying to love it. Quote of the week:

"Never save anything for a special occasion, being alive is the special occasion."
