River Water

Today I am grateful for....

Finally getting a schedule out to my sisters, my mom, and Karen for the girls's upcoming events!

Long giggly girl talk with Jess yesterday. Her amazing weight loss, 61 pounds now!

Finding out that Brea (jess's daughter) got a scholarship to go to Super Saturdays which is a gifted and talented program at Purdue that Kelsey attended! Go Brea!!!!! So excited for her, oh and they provide transportation for her too!!!

Things coming together for our girls night this Saturday! Some of my favorite girls (Erika, Gail, and Lisa G.) already giving a positive RSVP!

Connecting with Chris (my brother-in-law) on myspace!!! It's so much easier to keep in contact with him this way! (he's bad about losing phones, and numbers, and other things) I almost hear from him every day now!

Time to work on Laura's painting today.

Brett Dennen. His music makes me so happy, lovey, and reminiscent, I love listening to it while I paint.

Getting the invites for the next womyn's camp.

I'm grateful for all the help Kelsey gives me, with anything I ask of her.

Today I'm grateful for making it through the sludge of grief and depression, one step at a time. I stumbled a bit, but I have overcome. ...impossible to move forward when you let yourself stay stuck. I think I'm happy that people didn't know what to do for me or how to help because now I feel like can say I did it on my own. No one saved me, I saved myself.

I am grateful in advance that someone will please stop Bush before he ruins our country and creates a nightmare for us all!

I'm grateful that I can't have a conversation with my new-old friend that's less than six hours long! I think he talks more than Kevin, I love it! Some of it is meaningful, some of it is childish banter, but all of it means something to me.

The quiet time, right this minute, to sit down and type out my gratitude list.

Sleeping again finally!!! My schedule's off and I'm sleeping during the day again, but at least I'm sleeping!

Jone's is having a great time enjoying her training and time in a new state.

I am grateful for feeling really creative last night and today. Sometimes I feel like a river and the energy just flows, and sometimes I feel like a stagnant old pond. Today I'm feeling like a river, free flowing, bubbly and refreshing.

Good things are happening for the people I love.

you my icy cold refreshing river water, you
