Thinking BIG

Today I'm grateful for....

New experiences this weekend.

Making new girl friends.

Stepping out of my 34 year old box and going with a new girl friend to a new place to watch some bands. Got to see three different bands on Saturday, lots of fun, even ordered a new drink.

Getting to help Taylor and her friend prepare for their Kings Island trip tomorrow. Amber is spending the night so I'll drop Taylor and her trip buddy off in the morning and pick them up tomorrow night.

Knowing they'll have a safe trip full of fun.

Helping Kelsey prepare for her summer p.e. class that starts tomorrow.

News from Jones that she made it to Washington safe and sound.

All of my Washington memories, my heart is there. All of the emotions that are tied to that state for me, the inner peace that thoughts of that place brings me. Washington is my "zen" place. The mountains, volcanoes, the city, ocean, islands, sunsets, wild life, the moodiness, the micro climates, the desert of Washington, the food, the freshness of every thing, the apple orchards, the rain forest, the people, the natural way of life mmmm I miss it so much.

Getting asked out for a lunch date and turning it down. Feeling the necessity to take things slower this time, for my own peace of mind. If he can't be patient then things aren't going to work.

A deeper sense of self respect and dignity.

The confidence I've found and am developing.

Knowing that Denny's surgery on Wed. will go smoothly with no complications.

Continuing to ask for meaningful people in my life and getting it in the form of all of these strong women who are suddenly appearing out of no where.---Recognizing their importance and saying yes when asked to join them. Future plans with these fantastic women and all the learning I know will come from our time together.

Thinking BIG about my next life path :) and who it might involve. Possibly asking my mother to help me make some clothing prototypes to try and come up with my own clothing line.

Listening to old songs and remembering the feelings that were associated with the music for me at that time. Listening to the same songs and feeling the different emotions that are evoked in me now, feeling great about that because for me that means tremendous growth.

Good things are happening to the people I love.
