100 Days of Gratitude - Day 5


Today was really hard. What I would like to do here is complain about that, but I'm not going to.
  1. I'm grateful for the lesson I learned on the importance of not putting things off. Because I was angry I did not deal with my jay walking ticket in a timely manner, and now I have to pay a shitload of money. Obviously, this is a lesson I needed to learn and I am grateful to have learned it.
  2. I'm grateful for a really miraculous meditation I did this morning. 
  3. I'm grateful that I was able to find a song I really wanted to hear. If you want to, give it a listen
  4. I'm grateful that I met a group of new people and was welcomed with open arms to a special place I went tonight. 
  5. I'm grateful to me for making myself get out of the house and go to this place. 
  6. I'm grateful that my doorman let me in when I got home because I lost the clicker to my garage. 
  7. I'm grateful for Derby Blue, my little furry bundle of love. 
  8. I'm grateful that Derby kept my favorite spot warm while I was out because I'm cold tonight!
  9. I'm grateful that I probably forget what actual cold is now that I live in San Diego. 
  10. I'm grateful that I know there is a beautiful little girl sleeping soundly in her payjays in her red big girl bed, so peacefully.

Spring Dreaming

I'm doing little else but sit in my place only barely moving and trying to recover. In my mind, I'm wearing all these amazing spring items from For Love & Lemons, which I have a huge crush on. Please enjoy.
