daily gratitude check

It's a little bit gray, but no rain. Snowing in the passes, though.

I'm grateful for:
1. Body moisturizer after a nice shower, and face cream. Heavenly.
2. Amber alerts. I have no children, but I am so grateful the system works.
3. Non-chlorine bleach. The planet thanks us.

I'm grateful American Idol will show tonight and was not canceled for the presidential address.

I am grateful for

Washed clean car to drive in
Great car that I love everything about it to get me thru the winter
First day in a very 4 weeks to truly relax, recuperate, refresh, rejuvenate, and enjoy
Txts, calls received this week from someone important in my life
Those who love me and care about me
My health improving slowly and surely.
A loving sister that truly loves me though we will always have differences
A loving mom that truly loves me though we've had words of disappointment and both are willing to forgive
Work that is meaningful, and fruitful.
Unexpected and abundance of goodwill, kindness from people I'll never meet in person though meet in more meaningful way here in MFP to support, embrace, encourage, pick me up when I fall, cheer me on when I rise in small and big ways.
This thread reminding me that nothing is to be taken for granted. Everything to be grateful for. Even our moments of trials and tribulations here to test and make us stronger, and wiser
My life, I am alive, I am well, I am happy, I am learning to love myself, respect myself, and loving and respecting others more and more so everyday.

It's the weekend.
A great night's sleep
Yesterday was soooooooooo relaxing and got a chance to center myself
Health improving
A caring call from my sister
Someone in my life
This weekend to gather my thoughts and breathe a sigh of relief after many weeks of challenges
Calm, serenity I created for myself by putting my self first, loving myself the proper way
Simplifying life
This day
This minute
This moment
Life
This thread letting me everyday be quietly appreciative what's great in life and not go unnoticed, what's not great in life yet I can still learn from.

No good deed goes unpunished. A beautiful day yesterday, a two mile hike to the Puget Sound, and some great calories burned!

I am grateful today that:

1. I survived my fall into the Sound's 50 degrees water, and the 2 mile walk back to the car
2. I was able to jury-rig a couple shopping bags (thank God I'm "green") and an emergency poncho into a "skirt" to wear back to the car - even though it was 40 degrees out - it was better than my soaked jeans & undies. Plastic Subway bags for socks.
3. I can afford to buy a new camera, which also took a swim:frown:

I'm grateful for

storytelling at a church I visited today
Friends to go to lunch with
Friends did not ask why I was eating less but also did not try to get me to eat more
Books at books a million
Eyesight so I can read books :happy:
My mother, sister and brother who are encouraging me as I work to be healthier
warm clothes, car with heater on a snowy day

I am grateful to the women of MFP for showing me
a more kinder and more compassionate way to be:flowerforyou:

I'm grateful that my DD had a safe flight and she got in on time! She called on her first stop and said she had a delay. It worked in her favor, she got to fly first class

:drinker: I am grateful for one more pound lost. I loved the scales this morning.

I'm grateful my fitness goals are rubbing off on my hubby. He's walking with me regularly (which means we're not limited by daylight) & feeling much better.
