Gratitude on the go! 10-11-12

Today I am grateful for:
-Being able to sleep in a bit
-All the amazing birthday wishes on fb.
-Sharing a birthday with Eleanor Roosevelt.
-These quotes:
"We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face...we must do that which we think we cannot."
"Everyone has talent. What is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the unknown place where it leads."
-These pictures:
Jaime's bday card to me via the internet.
I love her long time too. :) 
More birthday gifts:
A pair of earrings from Lauren
A bag of candy (with toothbrush and toothpaste) from Auntie Pat
A birthday cake from mom
A collection of books from Josh. 
A new iPad.
Thanks Padre.
(I couldn't have afforded it without you.)
-Being able to be quiet 
-enjoying the day
-smiling
-laughing
-the basics
-lots of treats
-a wonderful video and fb post from Amy. She is such a light in my life. 
-the cast honoring my birthday.
-my parents coming to see the show
-hanging out with Brittany. 
-being reflective. Usually when people ask, "Happy birthday! Do you feel any different?" Every year prior I have said, "No, I feel the same." On my 26th year of life, I do feel different. I wish I had the words to express what is different, but I honestly don't. I guess I just feel more open to so many new possibilities. Perhaps that's confidence? Maybe this next year of life will make that more clear. 
-As always, my friends.
