Thirty Days to be Thankful... Week 3
Man these days are rolling around faster and faster!
Nov 14th: Today I am thankful that I get to go home in 10 days. Cant wait to see the family and some high school friends. Dorothy said it best, there is no place like home.
Nov 15th: Today I am thankful that I have almost survived living alone. Never thought it is something I would attempt or enjoy. But, it hasnt been as bad as I expected and at times I really like calling my own shots, finding things exactly like I left them when I get home, and watching whatever I want on TV with no one there to tell me that I cant. Having Joe potentially move in soon is exciting to me and scary at the same time, because I am going to have to give up complete control of my space.
Nov 16th: Today I am thankful there are weekends to end horrible weeks of work.
Nov 17th: Today I am thankful to be going over Joes house to a nice meal he is cooking for me. Its great to not have to cook for yourself every once and a while.
Nov 18th Today I am thankful to have a weekend where nothing is planned. I am looking forward to relaxing and doing whatever strikes me at the moment.
Nov 19th: Today I am thankful for my friend Allie. She is my only friend at work and always there for me. She is one of my few friends that I can always count on if I want to do something spur of the moment. She is the easiest person to make plans with.
Nov 20th: Today I am thankful for my mom teaching me how to be both domestic and handy. This weekend I made a Christmas wreath, cleaned the house, self-cleaned the oven, did laundry, hung Christmas lights and whipped up homemade vodka sauce. Productivity to the max.

Thirty Days to Be Thankful - Week 2
Nov 7: Today I am thankful for something simple - sleep. Sleeping is the best. This week we got an extra hour of sleep and I feel amazing at work -- for a Monday. Sleep allows you to forget all your worries and troubles and is one of the few "natural excapes" from a sometimes stressful life.
Nov 8: Today I am thankful for beautiful fall weather so I can sit outside at lunch. Today is supposed to be a high of 70 degrees, and nothing makes a day better like a little bit of sunshine to break up a long day in a cubicle. UPDATE: I went and sat outside for a whole hour today.. it was glorious!
Nov 9: Today I am thankful for plans with friends during the work week. Making plans with freinds can certainly brighten the long stretch between Monday and Friday. Last night I went out with Sara to our favorite Manayunk wine bar and tonight I am going with Joe and another couple we are friends with to the Tortilla Press, a mexican restaurant in Haddonfield NJ. Cant wait!
Nov 10: Today I am thankful for a little pick me up during my long work day: Venti Starbucks Gingerbread Latte with skim milk. Its the small things..that make a day better.

Nov 12: Today I am thankful for old friends... even through today we are seperated by geography... we come together every so often and for that day.. its like nothing ever changed. Whether from high school or college, I have the best friends a girl could ask for.
Nov 13: Today I struggle to find something to be thankful for becuase I am in a really bad mood. So I guess today I am thankful for tomrorow.. tomorrow I get another try at today in hopes I've learned something from yesterday.

Thirty Days to be Thankful - Week 1
Since it is officially November and almost time for Thanksgiving, I thought I would take this month to think about all of the things in my life I am thankful for and post them here at the end of each week. Here it goes
Nov 1: Today I am thankful for my job. It may not always be the job I want, or the job I would love to have. Sometimes its stressful, and other times it bores me. But it also affords me a great life style and the money to see and do all of the things that I want to do it life and for that, I am thankful.
Nov 2: Today as I was sitting at my desk I got a call from a cruise planner who planned a vacation for me and my girlfriends, what seems like ages ago. So today it reminded me how thankful I am for my girlfriends. My UD girls have stuck by me through thick and thin and I am so appreciative to have people like them to share my life with. Because lets face it -boyfriends provide support and understanding in their own way, but no one understands a woman like another woman.
Nov 3: Today I am thankful for the other women in my life: mom and my grandmas. My mom is my best friend and the person who I go to with any problem. I am so lucky to have such an amazing mother. I hope we can stay close and share this life for a very long time like her and her mom. Speaking of grandmas, I am so lucky to have both of them in my life. I hope they are around long enough to meet my future children.
Nov 4: Today I am thankful for my boss. Let's face it, a boss can make all the difference about whether or not you like your job. My boss is relaxed, laid back, and definitely a great boss. As long as I get done what I need to do, he lets me run my own show. I appreciate that he doesnt try to micro-manage my whole day and tell me how I am going to spend every minute of my day.
Nov 5: Today I am thankful for my boyfriend. We may not have it all together all the time but he makes a my life better in so many ways. Today we spent the day cleaning the gutters, it was a dirty, disgusting job, and he was a champ about it. He helps me out a lot around my house and he is always there for me even if he may not express it in the ways that I expect. I am really lucky.
Nov 6: Today I am thankful for my brother, Brendan. He drove down from Wilmington to eat dinner with me. I made us a nice dinner and we got to chat and catch up. Even though I am far away from the rest of my family, I am so fortunate that he is only an hour away and that we are close siblings.
One week down.. 3 to go... I must admit, this is tough for me. I am really good at looking at the glass half empty.. not as good at looking for the positives in every day. A good lesson.
