Getting into a funk, harder to keep up with this...
Grateful for beautiful fall sunsets
Grateful for an afternoon off and a short nap

Day 16
Let's just say it's Day 16 and not Day whatever...
This has been so hard, I can't believe it.
SO, TODAY...
I am grateful for a well paying job. It was a lousy work day, but I'm grateful I got paid for it!
I love my salon, I love talking with the ladies there. I feel like I'm in a sitcom while I get my nails done. So, I'm thankful for Moore's Hair Design.
I'm grateful that Conan is back on the air! I've laughed so much tonight!

Day 15
Wednesday...
Glad I am bringing my breakfast and trying something new...need to work on willpower.
Thankful I am still sticking with Spanish, found a new site to study from today and made flashcards.
Grateful for a fun evening out at the theatre. They did a really great job with "Wait Until Dark" and we had a good time. (grateful for scotch, once again, delicious!)
And sooo glad I started reading "Pillars of the Earth"! What took me so long to pick it up? I don't want to put it down.

Day 14
Tuesday...
I need to be more on the ball with this!
Grateful that I finally went to a volleyball game this year. I like it so much! The Washburn Lady Blues are an awesome team and I am so glad that I'm a fan!
Glad Brenda went out with us afta the game. Didn't think she was, but then she did and we were happy.
And glad I could read a little before bed, I really enjoy that.

Day 13
Monday...
Can I be grateful again for a jeans day? Well, I am. I love that we have jeans days on Mondays and Fridays.
Glad I tried something new and made stuffed acorn squash for dinner. Doubly glad that John seemed to like it!
Blurg. This is all I've got...oh, grateful for that extra blanket we put on the bed!

Day 12
Sunday...
Glad I woke up early and headed straight to the store, it felt good to have that done and out of the way.
And thankful for some quiet time with John...sometimes I feel like we've got too much going on.
Broke out my big, turquoise cast iron pot and made a big batch of chili. That turquoise pot makes me happy! I still remember the day I bought it.
Grateful for a crisp, cool evening...perfect for sitting on the porch and handing out candy.
Lastly, I'm so glad I stuck it out with my scotch training. I am really enjoying my scotch and water! It's true.

Day 11
Saturday...
Obviously I'm having a hard time coming up with five things, I need to be more aware...
A good morning with John. Up and about, we went to breakfast together.
Grateful for our Saturday plans. Headed to Atchison for a haunted trolley tour. And very happy that included a stop at Nell Hill's!
And we really enjoyed the architecture and what was left of the fall foliage. Very relaxing afternoon.
Headed to St. Joseph for dinner. So happy Kristi and Shawn joined us!

Day 10
Friday, Oct. 29th...
Was fortunate Mom and Dad could come over for a quick dinner before the WTCT show. And they enjoyed dinner.
So lucky we also got to see our friend Becky! She moved to Oklahoma and was up here for a football game. We went over to Robin and Scott's for some drinks and laughed and talked for hours.
Thankful for my friend Julie. We work at the same place but rarely get to talk anymore. Had a great midday conversation.

Day 9
Yesterday...
Grateful to have some us time, John and I spent the evening in each other's company. Just having dinner and running errands.
I'm grateful for our warm and cozy home. It's starting to get colder and we had to turn the heat on.
We are seeing WTCT Players on Friday night and Mom took care of our tickets...she's very sweet like that!
Looked at our Halloween decorations set up over the house, I love decorating for the holidays!

Day 8
Too tired to get on the computer last night, here are my thoughts for Wednesday the 27th...
Grateful for remaining clearheaded and calm at work. Lots going on! I just took a deep breath and tackled it.
And grateful for appreciation shown by others at work. It made it easier to plow through.
I've been listening to Coffee Break Spanish podcasts and feel like I am making progress. So thankful that this resource is out there and free for all!
Got together with friends to watch a movie. Javier cooked dinner for us and it was delicious. I really enjoyed eating a dinner prepared by someone else...not in a restaurant...in someone's home. He took the time to feed us well. So grateful!
And driving home, John pointed out the big, beautiful, amber moon. I forget to look up sometimes, I'm glad he notices things like this and shares them with me. Love.

Day 7
I prayed last night for the first time in a while, a nice, long prayer. And I felt His presence today. So grateful for it!
It's always nice when you have all the ingredients you already need to make dinner at home. It makes me feel like I've accomplished something.
Working with the same person for 5 years can be difficult. But today I worked hard at getting along. It paid off nicely!
I'm grateful for the makings of hot chocolate. Just what I needed...a little skim milk, some cocoa, some splenda and a spoonful of that sinful Williams-Sonoma chocolate.
Lastly, I had some bad news again today. A man that worked in our cafeteria took his own life recently. We'd been missing seeing him upstairs and had heard that he'd had some health issues and wasn't coming into work...no calls, nothing. Apparently, he was very sick with cancer. So today, I am grateful for my health, for the gift of life. We'll miss you, Todd.

Day 6
It's been especially difficult today to count my blessings...I was just in a lousy mood.
I was happy to put on my cotton yellow jacket today. I'd forgotten about it but spotted it in my closet this morning. I don't have a lot of clothes that I just love, that make me feel good when I wear them...but this jacket does.
And I'm always grateful for a good hair day. I have been trying for quite some time to wash my hair every other day and sometimes "every other day" my hair looks just okay. But today it all worked!
We had some disappointing news from a family member. I listened to my husband have some difficult conversations with his siblings and I am grateful that they have each other and work at having a good relationship with one another.
I'm grateful for my old pink flannel nightgown. After lousy days it's comforting to throw on.
And I'm grateful for my husband and his dedication to his role as the "garbage man". Every Monday night he gathers it all up and takes it out to the curb. My job is to make sure I don't hit the can as I reverse out of the driveway in the morning!

Day 5
This morning I was grateful for a few extra hours of sleep! It's getting close to winter and I seem to need extra sleep.
We left to go to the lake today and I was thankful John didn't mind my running late, he probably expected it.
I am grateful for the beautiful weather today, we spent time with family outdoors and it was a perfect day for it.
I'm grateful tomorrow is jeans day because I did no laundry this weekend and this makes it easier to find something to wear!
And I'm grateful for Sidney's purr, it is one of my favorite sounds. He's resting in my arms right now and he is too sweet.

Day 4
Today I'm grateful that we got up early to get our spot for tailgating Washburn's homecoming game.
I'm grateful that because of John's election to the Alumni Association board of directors, we got to go to a reception at halftime. It was pretty cool!
I'm also so grateful that we've become good friends with people like Robin & Scott, John Y. & Amber. I can't imagine not knowing them!
It's funny, these are all related to football---I'm so glad that it didn't rain on us at the game!
And while John slept after the game, I spent a few hours with my mom. We did a little shopping and just enjoyed each other's company.
