Gratitude

A Series of Awkward Moments

Well, to counter my pre-menstrual pity party, I have decided to make a short of list of some of the things I'm grateful for (This always makes me feel better):

-My opportunity for an education
-My cozy apartment
-The fact that my fiance lives in it
-And makes me breakfast most mornings
-Holiday flavored coffee
-Christmas in general
-I feel thankful that I was raised without a lot of things that others had-I never thought I would say it, but it is so VERY true.
-I should add that my fiance just surprised me with a Bailey's and coffee; I'm definitely thankful for that.
-And the coffee is served in a hand-made mug that he surprised me with a couple of months ago...I'm thankful for my mug.
-It snowed today, just enough to cover the ground and all the trees...it's so pretty.
-I taught two lessons today (kindergarten and third), and they went really well.
-My friends
-My health
-My family...It sounds so cliche to say "friends, family, health," but when you are writing them down, you just think of all of these specific people who just really add a lot to life.
-I FINALLY got a lot of my wedding planned this weekend.
-Kids
-Big Brothers, Big Sisters
-The mayor's day parade is today, and I'm going to watch my little seventh grade friend walk in it. :)
