# 50! Omg!
so much stress at work. I’ve
never seen anything like it. And I started teaching in 1979! People afraid they’re gonna have a heart
attack… it is so out of control. MUST remember what grateful for!
1.
I have never had
a stroke

And a place to
hang laundry to dry too
21.
To soap
22.
And deodorant
23.
And detergent

And even softener

26.
I can see
27.
I can speak
28.
I can walk
29.
I can drive
30.
I have a car

“So much has been
given to me, I have no time to ponder over that which has been denied.” Helen
Keller
46.
Helen Keller all
together.
47.
Books for my kids
48.
That I did NOT
after all spend my own money buying books we don’t really need, yesterday!
49.
That I have been
finding that my actions DO have an effect. Like when I eat well I DO lose
weight. Sure, that can seem, and is, pathetic. I mean hello, when you ate badly
and gained, didn’t THAT show you? But no. When raised with a deep intrinsic
belief that you have NO effect on your environment, it takes a LOT to
counteract this!
50.
I’m just so happy
that I’m – OK. I was down last night. Hardest work day I’ve had, maybe
ever! And there is a LOT “wrong” in my
life. Yet, AS OPPOSED TO EVER BEFORE, I am – ok. Yaaaaay!
51.
This______
52.
That I DON’T care
like I used to about what everyone thinks of me

The little play
we’re doing today
71.
The song we did
the other day
72.
That I had the
gumption to go after this job when I did the way I did
73.
That I have
refused to do the mealworms life cycle. I will not raise creatures to euthanize
them.
74.
That we will
figure out something else for my kids to do so they don’t miss out (but don’t
have to kill)
75.
That I don’t even
wear silk, for the same reason. The breeding and raising of an entire species
for the purpose of exploiting them and killing them for a product we don’t need….
76.
That I DO
understand other people’s viewpoints on this too – that they wouldn’t have had
any life…
77.
My Buddhism
78.
Thich Naht Hanh

Learning of the
Law of Attraction (I must be more aware of it too!). But I’m so happy to have
learned of it and be learning of it, as I believe it is in place either way!

Good morning
chats with A. Virtually every single day. Like missed one in like 10 months

weekend
93.
Weather reports. They
are not negative like the news, and keep me company, and help me prepare for
the day
94.
That I don’t wear
spanx. Maybe I “should” but I have not intention of being uncomfortable in that
way
95.
Comfortable shoes
96.
Skirts. Glad I’m
