Rainy Day Wonderings

Being Grateful

Today I am grateful for;

Being alive and loving every minute of the day.
For finding a new perspective on life.
Suddenly yesterday’s worries and stresses really don’t seem all that devastating anymore.
Embracing the good and the bad and I cling to the memories and love them.
For being given and deserving second chances in life and taking full advantage of them.
Midnight swimming and surfing in the warm waters of La Jolla Shores.
The fact that I can still surf after all the damage I have done to my knees.
Having friends around to remind me of happy, playful childhood memories.
Being able to laugh at myself and tolerate the teasing of friends.
The respect and love I get on a daily basis from most of my family and friends.
The many great teachers who have aided in the shaping of my adventurous and interesting life, ever unfolding in new and exciting ways.
Having the courage to be fully self-expressed and being comfortable in my own skin.
The rich smells of jasmine, sage and eucalyptus that are always in the air in San Diego.
That my pink vodka lemonade sno cones turned out and everyone liked them!
For all of you who have reached out to me in friendship. I love your comments and your emails. =0)
The fact that today is the last day of the San Diego Comic Con 2007, it is time for Rainman to come back to earth. ***giggles***

How was your weekend?

Hi simply bananas!
Thank you, posts such as these remind me of all the good things in my life :)

Hey Tom,

You betcha! In fact I did think of you when I was making them...Wishing that I could drink one on the very site of your dream house. ;)
