!the begining of this thread was copied over from the "motivation" line. i thought it might fit better here~
silly me
this is the plan:
as much as u can, daily if possible, we should note things in life we are grateful for. ~and try not to repeat yourself.
i'll begin this thread w/
1-12-09
1 my new reading glasses that i dont like to admit i need. they enable me to sew/needlepoint.
2 my 14yr son. he does very well in school and not gotten into the wrong crowd or choose to do "bad" things.
3 my 10yr daughter. she is a wonderful little person to spend time w/ since i know the "joy w/ parents" stage might halt in a few years.
4 my husband. we are each other's dream come true.
5 hard boiled eggs. my latest "discovery". only 70 cal each and 6 g protein. the egg white (my preference) has only 20 cal and 4 g protein!

I'm greatful that God has given me another day here.
That even though it is really cold outside the snow is beautiful to look at. And so are the birds that are eating crazily at the feeders.
And I am greatful that we have heat in our house.

1. I'm grateful for my sister. No matter how busy my life gets and how little I speak to her as soon as I call her it's like we never had time apart. She's a huge constant presence in my life and she is my rock. She is also my conscience and is the first person who will tell me when I'm being immature or stupid... but she is my biggest cheerleader to and is the first person to sing my praises. I love that girl.
2. I am so grateful that I was born in this country. I think it's easy to forget how spoiled I am just to be HERE, so whenever I think of how hard life is I just think about what my life might have been like if I had been born in a poor country.
3. I'm grateful for my jobs. My bosses at both have been very understanding when I've been sick and had to take time off.

* my 14 yr son is so very independant! he does not need me to help him take care of his school related responsibilities like getting up/dressed/breakfast on school days or homework. now, how do i get him to clean his bedroom a little bit?
* split pea soup. i love that stuff. it's in the crockpot right now. it's so healthy. but i fear it may have a lotta calories. i need to look it up.
* sticky notes. i keep lists of what i need/want from costco/winco/walmart/etc... on stickys posted next to my fridge. w/ this method, it can stick around for months w/out being misplaced and is easy to get/find and i stick it on the cart when i shop so it's easy to see.
* i was born w/ a pretty face. because of the exercize/dieting i'm doing, my body might be as pretty as a 40+yr old body can get (w/out surgery). even when i was younger, i did not have a pretty body.

I do this on an online gratitude journal. ButterBeeHappy.com It's really nice because it will send you reminders to post something that you are grateful for every day. It's a great way to remember to be grateful even when things aren't going your way

I'm greatful for my husband who after 15 years we are still in love.
For my daughters, I love both of them for the young women they are becoming.
For the couples in our Sunday night bible study who are our friends and support system.
Oregonlady, I am sure your husband already loves your body. The only really beautiful ones are the airbrushed ones. Everyone else has something they want to change.
