The activity was to write down eight things for which I am grateful...but I couldn't stop at just eight! :) That's quite a marvelous concept, though...
- Good, RELEVANT courses this semester! (Teaching High School Methods, Classroom Management, Adolescent Literature)
- Less stress/time to do homework/time to reflect at work
- James being especially loving lately
- Jelly Bean!
- Chloe's fervor for God = inspiration
- Mom's healthier habits (I want her to live a loooong, full life!)
- God's redemption
- My creative & aesthetic-seeking nature
- Finding the PERFECT wedding venue
- Clothes and soft, heavy blankets to keep me warm
- All the wonderful books I get to read this semester!
- Having a job & reliable employees
- Bush's exit and Obama's inauguration
- Grammar and literature
- Joe being friends with our ex-security guard = random gift of cell phone battery to replace my dying one
- Zillions of free movies through our new Verizon FiOs hook-up
- Having the strength (Praise God, for real) to procrastinate less and less with each task/assignment/duty/course! :)
- Beautiful, inspirational blogs
- HG-I owe her so much!
- Self-Control
- Fun fruit gum + chiclets
- James being older than (and turning 21 before) me
- Tattoo gift certificates!
- Happy days
- God as fulfilling love.
