Gratitude on the go! 10-08-12

Today I am grateful for:

-A peaceful bus ride 

-enjoying the white space (not filling up the space between all the things I "have" to do.)

-a VO session. 

-a really productive and fun brainstorming session at the workshop. A lot of good ideas were generated. Other people's ideas were great inspiration and vice versa. 

-laughter 

-Catching up with my friend Fernando. We haven't seen each other in about 2 years. He caught me up with his life, which has definitely had some major ups and downs. I'm glad we are still able to share and connect after such a long break. That's Pitzer love right there. He's doing a lot of incredible things right now. I'm very proud of him. I'm also thankful that he bought me dinner and shared dessert. The bday goodness continues!

Warm brownie with ice cream on top? Yes please.

-Skyping with Hannah, aka, bffl. It was a really fun, chill conversation. We talked about when she'll be coming back to MPLS. She also comment on how she really enjoyed my glasses. I really appreciated that. We laughed. It was very much like old times. Not that it was never not like old times, but the last few times we've talked/hung out have seemed a bit forced.

-being honest with myself. Over the last two days I've had several conversations about self love and self growth. It's wonderful to hear that others are also working on telling themselves that they are enough and are allowing themselves the time they need for them. Hearing that others are working on these things encourages me to continue to work on them too. Sometimes I feel so alone in this area. 

-These quotes: 

"We cannot change anything until we accept it. Condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses."

"Always serve too much hot fudge on hot fudge sundaes. It makes people overjoyed..."

"Happiness is contagious. Be a carrier."

-The basics

-As always, my friends.
