If I can’t blog regularly, at least I can still take 15 minutes a week to check in and be grateful. [hopefully] Back to more regular blogging after the weekend of 09.10.10, AKA, the Great Reno Balloon Race. [p.s. check out my guest post over at the Secret Society of List Addicts!] So anyway …
today, i’m SO grateful for:
- my wonderful boyfriend, who fixes me yummy paninis when I feel like a zombie and my only response to the question “what do you want for dinner” only somewhat resembles a grunt [yep, I was a peach last night]
- the crisp, cool air on my ride into work this morning, and the hint of fall creeping in.
- words. Their power, and my ability to put them together in writing, in a way that is meaningful, if only to me.
- the incredible women in my life that I consider to be my mentors, whether formal or informal. I hope that one day I can make that kind of difference in another person’s life.
- being filled with passion for something good I’m doing for the world, and for my community.
- and last but not least, Peg’s Glorified Ham & Eggs.
What? My life is totally better for that place.
what are you grateful for today?

today i am very grateful for:
- My super smart and handsome boyfriend, who is unbelievably supportive
- When things go the way you planned and everything I’ve been working on so hard lines up
- Reality checks that make me work harder than I really knew I could
- My awesome new [to me] bike
- Being part of a wonderful community
- The incredibly interesting differences between people and the way we all work, and work together.
This was hard today. It’s a welcome challenge though, to get outside of myself, my stress, and to take a moment to remember all I have today.

On the suggestion of my friend Doni, who I seem to always be learning from [whether she knows it or not], I’m starting a series on gratitude. Based also on the inspiration for some friends other weekly love-fest-type posts, I’m hoping to shake myself up once a week to bring some more consistency to my blogging. What better way to get out a slumpy dump than through gratitude? [Thanks, Momma for that lesson] And so, I present you with Wednesdays are for Gratitude.

today, i am grateful for
- My little sister, who’s 21st birthday was yesterday. I’ve been a sap about it for at least 24 hours, but I am seriously the luckiest person on the planet to have been given a sister like her.
- Best friends who tell you the truth, no matter what.
- Getting small bursts of feeling inspired and happy, among persistent stress and gloom.
- The fact that I have the ability to take care of my self, my body – to feed it good, healthy food and give it fun activity, though sometimes I might not think I have time for those things.
- Hearing from locals that they’ve read my blog / like my tweets / think I’m funny [!!!]
- Being challenged at work [although stress can get pretty unfun sometimes, I'm so grateful to be learning more about what I love to do every single day]
guys, what are you grateful for?
