Gratitude on the go! 8-12-13

Today I am grateful for:
-these quotes*:
"Don't go through life, Grow through life."
"People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered. Love them anyway."
"To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did."
-the nice woman at the post office.
-getting a free bed frame from Mary Fox. I put the word out on facebook that I was looking for one and bam. Ask and you shall receive! It was also great to see Mary and hear about her new exciting upcoming adventure!
-getting a really, really great hug today. I didn't want to let go.
-getting a lovebomb text from Amy. Seriously her timing could not have been better.
-talking to my mom calmly and not getting into a fight.
-Anna coming over to watch Breaking Bad
-Breaking Bad. I think that show is fantastic. The acting, the writing, the sound mixing/design, the cinematography, etc. It's fun to watch all those elements come together to create such a kick ass show.
-group. Our councilors kind of did a restructuring of the group, which was really good. Check in now kind of forces us to ask for time if we want it. We also were shown (via role play) how to give better feedback. Very helpful. Asking for time to talk is definitely going to challenge me, but in a good way. We all talked today for a bit. I asked for time. I talked about my mom again and mostly how I've figured out what I want to say to her. I also talked about how I'm so happy by other people's successes and accomplishments that it makes me strive harder to meet my goals too. Like talking to my mom eventually. Everyone is on their own journey and some people figure things out faster than others, and even though it feels like I'm stuck in molasses sometimes, I was also able to give myself some credit that I am making progress. The group also helped me by validating me on that notion, which I think I needed more than I thought. By the time I was done talking I was shaking. Thanks nervous system for kicking in!
-making dinner at home.
-the basics
-laughter
-koala yummies
-as always, my friends

*these quotes really nail it on the head for me today.
