swingchickie(or i guess the correct grammar is "things for which to be thankful"? i dunno. revoke my mensa membership.)
after the stress of yesterday, i woke up feeling a bit better this morning. someone in my WW online group suggested that we all start each day for the rest of this month posting what we're thankful for that day... so i'll do that here, in the hopes that the universe will take it and magnify it back. :)
* despite my being completely stressed and upset yesterday, i stuck to my new eating habits. especially hard considering our cafeteria was advertising a "build your own double-decker cheeseburger" special. *drool* instead i went to the salad bar, and got a salad and a yogurt. didn't even go crazy at dinner, even though i ate right after the bad angus news.
* house concert tomorrow! w00t! i can't believe mark erelli is going to be in my house, so much fun!
* angus is the best kitty big brother ever. duck is a complete pest to him, but he just hisses and walks away... given the size difference, angus could completely stomp him into the ground, but he never does. and he never acts jealous when i'm giving duck a snorgle, he just hangs out and waits his turn. he's such a good boy.
* i have my health. yesterday i saw the oprah episode where she interviewed charla nash, the woman who was attacked by her friend's chimpanzee and almost killed... charla removed the veil she wears to show her face, and it was staggering. (i'm not going to link to the photos because they're very graphic... a quick google search will bring up the story). this poor woman has no eyes any more, and not much of a face except for a small hole she can talk out of... yet she is able to perservere and find positives wherever she can. i have no right to complain about the wrinkles making their way into my skin as i age... that's miniscule compared to what she is dealing with.
so much more to be thankful for, i'll save that for another post tomorrow.
