Creating a "smorgasbord" ;)

Today I'm grateful for....

Being 34 and loving who I am at this very moment

An awesome 5 hour conversation with jones during her impromptu visit. Love it when things happen like that.

Being genuine....Honesty, with myself, with every one else, not apologising for being who I am.

Watching my friends blossom as they're watching me blossom. Watching them get the things I knew about them all along and them watching me "get" the things they knew about me all along.

Not having a direction and knowing for me, that's okay.

Awesome mexican food.

Being financially stable so that I can enjoy my time right now. Appreciating that more and more.

Continuing to ask for more meaningful people in my life.

Learning Kevin's news and knowing he is going to be an amazing father. --When you worry, remember--the "how" doesn't matter (i'm talking finances and things, you've got fatherhood in the bag babe).

As Jones calls it, "the smorgasbord" of choices I'm creating for myself... a little of this, a little of that, and so on. Janice says "get it while you can", and I'm gettin it with intent. :)

The fun phone conversation with Lisa tonight about Nancy. Hearing her laugh at Billy being flirty with her. I love Lisa's sunshine smile.

Taylor running to talk to me as soon as I got home! Smiling and asking fashion questions, can I wear this with this?

Knowing that jones's healing will come quick and effortlessly, it's no biggie girl, it'll be over in no time.

Not knowing dean, but knowing dean. Seeing him at Pat's and getting the feeling that he's settling into himself.

Knowing that Vance will find his direction with ease and peacefulness.

That my conversations with jones are never short and never weightless.

Being appreciated and admired.

Knowing the healing that is necessary for B and David, and Eric and Nicole is still happening. Though their lives have been changed forever, they have chosen to rise from the ashes and continue to love, flourish, and go forward into the blessed lives they have.

Being the best mom I know how to be and being reminded of that every day through the conversations with my kids. Knowing that I'm not perfect and I do make mistakes, but the foundation is there and it's a fantastic one.

Paying it forward.

I just have to say thank you for all the beautiful men. And thank you for all the men who appreciate and love their partners.

Knowing that good things are happening to the people I love.
