Cheryl - your daily post of your gratitude for indoor plumbing is inspiring me to remember to be grateful for the things I take for granted.
- two sane food days - I am grateful
- got my hair colored yesterday... looks so pretty. I love that I go to the salon at my mom's senior apartment. I love hanging with mom and her friends there
- inspiration from reading positive things
- my friend got a new kitty - Ginger - a cute tortie
- the daily paper on the front steps in the morning
- my family, my friends, YOU ALL
- water heater

Yes, I need to be grateful for the "taken for granted" things in my life like:
- an attractive and comfortable house
- my reliable Ford Focus which has earned a paint job
- fun and supportive friends
- well behaved and loving dogs
- Spring which always comes
- being able to splurge once in a while - I bought tulips yesterday
- living in this safe and beautiful part of my country

~I am grateful for fabulous dental insurance. I recently found out I have to get a crown, and would not have been able to afford it without the insurance.
~I am grateful for my daily walks and dinner with my parents. I've never felt closer to them than I do now and I truly appreciate the quality time and healthy environment that is allowing me to stay focused on my weight loss journey.
~I am grateful for two beautiful, smart, healthy children who amaze me and teach me something new every single day.
~I am grateful for the energy and strength that I have gained which is keeping me on this path, even when things have gotten tough.
~I am grateful that the rain has stopped and we have BEAUTIFUL sunshine today!!

+ a great evening with the "girls" and six kids last night. (I am grateful to be one of the "girls" when they are 38 to 45" and I'm 72!)
+ a good weekend without food challenges
+ chaperoning a cast party for a super group of 16-18 year olds - there is hope for the future!
+ a busy month ahead but knowing I can cope
+ being relatively organized and able to prioritize
+ feeling comfortable about my quilting meeting this morning despite the controversial subjects I need to bring up
+ spring who is sneaking in with a bit of snow that's melting fast
+ my pink tulips that are still looking great
