I cut my hair today.
I colored my hair today.
I bought a cheap sweatshirt.
I listened to 'lazy eye' 5 times.
I wrote.
I drove.
I taught class.
I drank tea.
And then I got an idea.
Will you do something with me?
Share with me.
What you're grateful for.
For 30 days.
I don't know why, but I need it. Cuz my head is filling with vomit and Smith's songs.
Even if its just one person.
I'll share something. And you share back. That's it. A word. A story. A picture. A complaint. A song. Your name. Anything.
This isn't some new age Oprah 'A-HA' movement. Or some manifest your dreams deal-e-o. It's just old fashion 'let's be positive' junk.
Let's see where it leads.
Day One.
Today.
April 23. I mean...April 24. 1:39 AM.
I'm grateful for tap dancing.
Elbow and Send.
I am grateful for John Krasinski ;)

I am grateful for my wonderful fiancé, whose smile lights up my world.
I'm grateful for the chances I've had in life - my education especially.
I'm grateful for my friends, who do their best to keep me smiling through the rough times.
And I'm grateful for people like Annie, who remind me that thinking of the things I'm grateful for is really damn important.

I know it sounds cheesy, but I am grateful when people are grateful.
It is the "when the conscience is collectively raised, the collective conscience is raised." ideal.

I am grateful to have grateful people in my life.

I am grateful that I am open to 'know' people whom I have never met in person. Mr. Wil is awesome as is Annie and, well, Annie. I am grateful to know these folks.

Wow, what fortuitous(sp) timing! It had just been recommended to me this week that I start a daily gratitude journal. I'm greatful for my two kids.

I've been busy and I'm just getting caught up on blogs. I know I'm late, but maybe I need 30 days of positive thinking. Is it OK if I try now?

I'm grateful for my babay girl. I can't find the words to describe how amazing it makes me feel. (I'm also grateful that it's never too late to be grateful...for anything.)
