Today I am grateful for.....
Glowing and knowing it when I'm around my out of this world friends and people I love.
My friends telling me about the "positivity" I bring to their lives :)
Political discussions with Kelsey on the way to the dentist's office. Loving the way she thinks about things and her point of view, ....so different from mine and hers usually makes so much more sense than mine.
A great dentist appointment for the girls today, no cavities!!! Recommendations from the dentist for braces for Kelsey, ....having insurance that covers them at 80%.
A trip to the mall with the girls for new jeans. Finding jeans to fit both girls perfectly in one store, ....unbelievable!!!!!!
Kelsey's insatiable need for knowledge, books and music.
Taylor's insatiable need for everything fashionable and girlie.
A lunch on the town full of laughter with my wonderful daughters.
Fried green tomatoes, and Kelsey loving them as much as I do.
Cold medicine to help me stop coughing so I can sleep at night.
All the girls help with cleaning this evening.
Upping my time on the elliptical by 20 minutes yeah!!!
Strawberry Lime soda.
Jessica losing 35 pounds! What an inspiration.
Bringing sunflowers home from the store today for inspiration for my next painting. Lots of people asking for sunflowers, and I'm kinda in a sunflowery mood.
Feeling more and more like myself now. .......feeling like I'm closer to the person I always wanted to be.
Selling many, many of my paintings for what they're worth,....in advance :)
Giving paintings to the people I love and seeing the surprise and joy on their faces, ...knowing they love them.
Being inspired by other glogs to continue doing my own glogs even when I don't feel like it. I can't help but smile once I get started, :)
Taylor's new interest in the guitar and Kelsey's excitement about "teaching her a few things".
Putting my vision board up in a place of importance where it can be viewed at all times.
No longer being afraid to set some short term goals, knowing I wont let anything else stand in the way of following through on them.
Good things are happening for the people I love.
Aiding in the attempt to get a new word added to the dictionary.
you my little ball of positivity, you :)

Speedbumps, Rain, and Roses
Today I'm grateful for........
Seeing the speed-bump and going around it this time. ....Jones for telling me the speed-bump metaphor thing years and years ago.
Not taking on the same old "projects".
Clearing some "people clutter" from my life. There are some people who just need a lot more than others have to give to make them wake up.
The probability of Jess moving back to Washington. I'm so sad to have my close friend maybe moving away again, but happy if that's what's best for their family and her sanity.
A three hour heart felt conversation with Jess on her living room floor this afternoon.
Seeing Jess's son, Tristan when he woke up from his nap, such a fantastic smile with the biggest dimples I've ever seen.
Knowing I will not be sick for ever!
R A I N!!
More people in my life who are here to teach me, learn from me, people who are confident, intelligent, honest, caring, ...people who realize that not every one's "American Dream" is the same.
More people in my life to walk with and do adventurous things with. More people who keep me active effortlessly.
Being told that I am the light in my friends life, that I light up the room when I walk in smiling and my good moods are infectious to her.
Being told by another girlfriend that she misses my face, my smile, my laughter and conversation and knowing I will see her next week for lunch.
My ability to talk to almost anyone, to be able to make small talk with a group of people I don't know. Having the courage to introduce myself, and break the ice with my smile and my genuine interest in a person.
Stepping further and further away from the frightened little girl who's been inside me for so long. New coping tools can do wonders :)
Introducing Jess to Jack Johnson and Brett Dennon, seeing her face light up when she heard their music.
No school tomorrow! They have an early dentist appointment and then we get to go shopping! My girls are getting taller, Taylor wears an 8 slim in girls jeans, but needs the length of a 12, I can make it work right!
My beautiful roses that have started blooming again because of the latest rain.
Looking forward to another evening of football on Thursday and another gorgeous sunset.
Good things are happening to the people I love.
you my little rosebud, you.
