I have gratitude today for...
* Andy selling the Villanova tickets for tomorrow and for me being able to deliver them to the guy.
* Mason coming by tonight to discuss our lease options. We ended up talking about traveling quite a bit. Now I want to go to Charleston, SC and Nashville, TN!
* doing the elliptical tonight. I was going to skip working out because I'm pretty sore from the last two days of yoga and abs classes. Instead I made myself do the elliptical for 50 minutes. I'm determined to build strength, muscle and to get back to my wedding weight.
* using Dreamfields low carb pasta tonight for dinner. It was really good, you can't even tell the difference!

I have gratitude today for...
* no traffic on my way to Hoffman Estates today.
* Panera for breakfast. I woke up starving so I went straight for lunch.
* a great visit at the Sears office today.
* the old lady neutralizer flats I bought today. I thought I'd pack light and brought one pair of black boots. My feet have been killing me so I decided to get comfy shoes. They are cute at least.
* an amazing dinner at La Bocca della Verita in Wicker Park. The food was incredible! We had bruschetta, thin crust pizza and a bottle of wine to start. I had chicken picatta and it was so good!

I have gratitude today for...
* feeling better today! This is the best I've felt in a week.
* Bob being someone I feel I can go to about some things that have been frustrating me. He is very fair and immediately worked out the meal allowance issue that came up today.
* going to Vino 100 for wine to bring to Lea & Gerry's. It's a small wine boutique that opened up in their neighborhood. The guy working there was very nice and helpful.
* a fun night with Lea & Gerry. She made dinner with quinoa pasta (very good!) We stayed in, talked and drank wine.
* talking with Ian about everything that's been going on.

I have gratitude today for...
* getting through my flight this morning. I felt like crap, my seat didn't go back and I had 2 hours sleep last night. I've never wanted to get off of a plane more.
* a great meeting with Bob, Jim and the IC's. I really like this team and got a lot out of the information we reviewed.
* meeting John Powers. He came to our meeting to present and was impressive. I loved his outlook on work and networking. He reinforced the usefulness of LinkedIn---lately I've been thinking about trying to use it more often and his examples were proof that I should look into it.
* dinner at the Hyatt. I was going to go out but decided to do what was easiest instead. The hotel restaurant had awesome chicken tortilla soup!
* being in bed by 9 and finally seeing signs of feeling better.

I have gratitude today for...
* making plans to go skydiving with Michael in the spring!
* getting out today and running some errands. I also picked up a few cute things from EXPRESS for the cruise and Key West. They were having an incredible sale!
* finding out there will be hockey this year. Go Flyers!
* picking up Advil Sinus & Cold and willing it to help with this damn cold. I had to get it from behind the pharmacy with an ID, it better do something!
* someone finding my blog and commenting on it. She liked how I keep a gratitude journal. I was amazed anyone actually reads it besides a couple of people I'm close with.
* talking with Aunt Kathy for a while this afternoon. She left a sweet message wishing us a Happy New Year and I finally called her back. I was excited to hear about Brian & Mary's Aruba wedding plans!

I have gratitude today for...
*being smart enough to cancel our plans with Kelley & Steve. I felt bad because we've been trying to get together for months. I'm reallllly not feeling well.
* Andy picking up a pizza for dinner and watching some more HIMYM.
* catching up on the rest of my email and working on my blog. I vow to not fall this far behind again in 2013!
*finding the blog "People I Want To Punch In the Throat". She kept me up laughing for hours tonight.

I have gratitude today for...

*catching up on a bunch of emails that have been piling up in my inbox for weeks.

I have gratitude today for...
* not having to go anywhere since I'm sick AGAIN.
* another great jin shin jyutsu session with Hannelore. It's really interesting, what she's been finding. It seems like she tells me she finds sadness a lot, I'm not sure where that's coming from. She always says it's not necessarily something going on in present time, but from the past. I wonder where it's coming from.
* hearing back from Dan (from Aruba.)

I have gratitude today for...
* the great feelings a new year brings! A fresh start, an opportunity to change and improve, setting new goals. I love it!
* lounging around the house all morning. We were up until 2:30 so we were all pretty sluggish.
* taking Jenn, Kevin & Ashlyn to Plaza Azteca for lunch. We tried the table-side guacamole and it was incredible! Everything was good as usual.
* watching more HIMYM.
* meeting CJ, one of our neighbors, for the first time. Kind of pathetic since we've lived here for almost 15 months.
