My 100 Gratitudes Today

I am grateful:


1.      that I woke up
2.      that I am smiling
3.      my birdies are healthy and happy
4.      I will shop today. For them
5.      And for self
6.      And for mother
7.      I will make something – maybe broccoli soup or something – for the week’s lunches
8.      Leftover fresh Japanese spinach from last night – goody!
9.      Organic rice cake with guacamole
10.   And one with pb this morning too. Both are breakfast
11.   With 2 coffees with non-dairy milk. I am so fortunate.
12.   My birdy boys get new toys today! I am excited for them! : )
13.   The joy they give me, the joy they give me, the joy they give me!
14.   That I give them so much freedom. I DO have mixed feelings, as I’m sure anyone can tell. Giving money to people who breed birds for confinement… But since they were already bred, and I managed to keep them together (they were SO close – I watched for a long time!) – and they do get to fly here in house… and millet and organic good foods and greens every day and lots of fresh water (although they get theirs mostly from the greens) and song and toys and clean cage… and they do seem so happy…: )
15.   My mother
16.   That we had a nice Thanksgiving together
17.   Vegan sushi last night with M
18.   And movie together
19.   And writing to her about how that movie was different from the book
20.   Ellen show repeats – sitcom. On now
21.   Knitting.
22.   M asked her daughter J what wanted from me for Chanukah. They are Jewish and of course I want to give a present. Little J answered, - "I want another knitting lesson. I want to sit with her. I want her to sleep over. I want to see her in her pajamas." I am SO grateful for that!
23.   I am about to go to the store for washable paints and a pad for Ji (other daughter of M)
24.   And knitting needles for me.
25.   Bambo and thick.
26.   And one skein yarn for me
27.   Whole grain pasta for lunch
28.   Yesterday AND today
29.   With garlicky tomato sauce
30.   Earth Balance
31.   And that it does not use the palm oil that harms the orangutans
32.   That I have found a more affordable p.b. Because all of the organic ones that don’t use palm oil are SO expensive. Like THREE TIMES the price of the ones that do! But I have found this like TUB of it lol. No palm oil. Organic. Yay. P.B is good for me and I love it.
33.   The knitting I’m doing right now
34.   And the fb time today
35.   And doing grats
36.   And tv sitcoms
37.   And talk with mother. Soon I’ll leave to shop
38.   And do laundry
39.   I am grateful to have washer and dryer and place to hang things in my home
40.   And detergent
41.   And bleach
42.   And fabric softener too
43.   And the sink down there
44.   And my hair. I am grateful for my hair

49.   And I treated myself
50.   To gorgeous orange tulips!
51.   But then, even better – I gave them to my mother!
52.   And she tried to sneak pay me for Thanksgiving expenditures. Which is so sweet.
53.   But I caught her on time! : )
54.   I have changed what I’m serving tomorrow to J. It was too fancy. Would seem intimidating to him.
55.   So I am serving something simple
56.   Lentil burgers (equivalent to a hamburger) and we both love them
57.   Garlic mashed potatoes
58.   Nice salad
59.   And I’ll have made my curried creamy broccoli soup for myself for a few days, and if he wants some he can have that too
60.   Fruit cocktail and like a trail mix and bananas for dessert time, the end.
61.   I hve started a scarf.

63.   And another for Ji (M’s other girl)
64.   I am so enjoying doing!
65.   I got everything on my mother’s list
66.   I forgot to take my anti-depressant last night. I take it unusually. 15 mgs paxil every sun, mon, wed, fri eve.  (Most people take 40 every morning 7 days a week). But it works for me this way. But I forgot last night. Glad I remembered today. So I took tonight
67.   My eye drops

82.   Wow am I so glad I just told A.
83.   He has convinced me to start the training of the eye again!
84.   Sleep. I am grateful that I sleep at night
85.   Will. Sleep. In. Bed. Tomorrow. Night. Has been almost 7 months on couch now. Is time.
