Reading my the blog of one of the most inspiring, hysterical, and all around wonderful women I know, Mary Lenaburg, I came across a terrific idea! She lists things she is blessed and grateful for, and will expand on that list more and more occasionally as the blogs go on. I really like this idea, and I think it might make the giving up complaining for Lent issue a little easier. So here's my first part of the list! In hers, it looks as if they are usually pretty timely and specific, so I'm going to try to follow suit.
Grateful and Blessed list (1-9)
1. Making a new friend at work today and getting to see a new character, Angelica, in the park.
2. The light rain walking to the bus. It was so refreshing!
3. My two roommates who came to night of stars
4. All of the new friends I met at night of stars
5. Going on the carousel at Magic Kingdom for the first time
6. The awesome bus system at Disney
7. The free food we got at work. Woohoo!
8. One particularly lovely family I got to play with at work today- the grandma totally made my day when she gave me a kiss on the cheek and told me I reminded her of her puppy.
9. My sister finding her prom dress! I showed her the website she found it on, and it made me feel like I was actually involved in the process. I was afraid, coming here, that I wouldn't.
I'm sure I'll pick up with this soon :)
