Well, today I’m feeling a little under the weather, and working from home. But still have so much to be grateful for.
- my job, which offers me the flexibility to take it easy and work from home on the couch in my pjs if I’m not feeling well on a Wednesday
- friends and family for sending good house juju and sharing in our joy
- oh, and The House. It’s not final yet, and we’re trying not to get too excited. But let’s face it, we’ve already started decorating. Inspection is this Saturday, and if that goes well, appraisal will follow and then on October 15, the house is ours.*
- cooking with my fiance, because we have the most fun and make the yummiest dishes together
- getting handwritten thank-you notes
so, kids, what are you grateful for today?
* !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So much to be grateful for:
- an incredible team of coworkers that feel more like family, and helped me pull it off
- hands down, the best fiance on the planet for 1) taking care of me, and 2) putting up with me
- my new [to me] road bike that is properly awesome, thanks again to the fiance:
note the slick new tires, saddle and handlebar tape!
- and the beautiful weather we still have for me to ride in!
- best friends for wonderful gifted bridal magazine subscriptions, and secret-non-secret engagement parties
- two incredible blogger friends for coming to share the awesome biggest little city I like to call home
- another out of this world friend for helping make it all happen
- being away from writing for so long that I remember why I love it/need it in the first place
That’s just the tip of the iceberg today, friends.
so tell me, what are you grateful for?

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.
what are you grateful for 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?
