Today I'm grateful for...
Taylor over coming her fears and making the Cheer Squad for seventh grade. She missed the learning part of it yesterday, went in this evening, asked a peer for help and learned the dance in 15 minutes. She made mistakes, forgot moves, but kept going and kept smiling and she made it!
Seeing her cry for all the girls who didn't make it and knowing her sense of compassion deeply as I am the same in that way.
Doing the computer inputs for my mom at work that would have taken up so much of her time. Helping her get forms put on the computer to make her work life a little easier.
A message from Vance.

Doing what pleases me
Today I'm grateful for...
I love reading other people's glogs, they make me feel good. I especially love reading the ones that make me laugh.
I'm thankful that I went out last weekend even though I didn't feel like going. I danced, learned how to play beer pong, played the name game, and made out with some one my own age. That was nice, I felt secure, cared for and respected. Respected I think because I was in control of the situation and he was respectful of that. It pleased me greatly to make out with him, I forgot how great it is to be held right. And, it pleased me to just leave it at that, no strings, nothing but pleasure :) (I did have one date with this guy a year or so ago and many of you have met him once--my point is I didn't just pick up some random guy, not that it matters :)
Thinking about the open-ness of what I did and the possibilities of future encounters.....if I please.
Helping Taylor prepare for her Cheer tryouts tomorrow.
Losing 12 pounds
Reading Mama Gena and putting things into practice. Being aware of what pleases me and what doesn't, making decisions based on that.
Jones for always giving me good advice.
Actually considering taking action on a sexy clothing line for plus size women which is something that I've been saying I should do for years, in the midst of complaining when I can't find the things I want to wear. Something classic, timeless, sexy, and romantic, well made, for real women.
New leaves on the trees so that I can do more paintings.
Planting flowers in my old charcoal grill that I was going to have hauled away. Now it adorns my patio as a planter with flowers over flowing it's belly, it makes a great side table as well!
Anticipating shopping for new patio furniture with Jessica. Last time we went, we never made it to the store, we went straight for a margarita. We did lots of talking, laughing, and flirting, why do I always get hit on by guys who are too young? Oh well, it was fun to flirt anyway, and good practice for me :)
Working with my mom today, it makes me feel good when I can handle things that she can't figure out.
Kelsey's art and her determination to have her own style and not conform to other people's ideas of what's good.
No longer feeling like less of a person because I keep a different sleep schedule than most people.
Knowing that I don't need some one else with me to do what I want. I always did what I pleased when I was younger, just lost my courage at some point along the way. It's like the wizard of oz, when Glinda the good witch tells Dorothy she's had the power all along.
