I have gratitude today for...
* being able to clean early so I didn't have to skip it today.
* getting to Aunt Kathy's safely and hitting only a little bit of traffic.
* a great gathering for Grandma's birthday. Some of their friends from Long Island were there, along with Kerry and Father Michael.
* the buffalo chicken being a huge hit!
* remembering how much fun the Billy Joel & Elton John concert was one year ago today. Tailgating with Megan & Bucci and seeing the show with Nicole Spang
* the cute wine holder I found to give Grandma for her birthday, she loved it!

"When I quote others I do so in order to express my own ideas more clearly." -Michel de Montaigne
I have gratitude today for...
* a great meeting this morning
* my trip to Trader Joe's. I was a little overwhelmed because there were so many things to choose from. When you aren't familiar with new brands and products it's hard to decide what to get. I had a fun time walking up and down the aisles and looking at the organic meats.
* gaining an appreciation for the pain people with severe back problems have to live with everyday. I don't know if I pulled a muscle or what is going on, but the constant pain down the right side of my back really sucks.
* talking with Beckman and making plans to visit Adrienne next week.

"The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it." -Henry David Thoreau
I have gratitude today for...
* the opportunity I have at Suburban Life Magazines to do marketing and maybe even sales. I appreciate the flexibility and feel ok with not being able to student teach in the fall since I can do this for as long as I need.
* going to Rocco's Pizza for lunch with John, it was like old times
* the massage by Kelly at Millenium Hair & Day Spa I had today to help my back. She did a great job and I'm hoping it helps with the pain I've been feeling
* Bethany offering to drive to Camden for the Lilith Fair.
* the yum $5 hoagie from Genaurdi's
* Jess getting us in to the police parking and for the policeman looking out for Bethany's car when he realized she accidentally left her window down
* taking our seats on the lawn and 10 minutes later having a camera guy come up to us with 4 11th row seats! I had a feeling we'd get an upgrade!
* an amazing night of music with Sara Bareilles, Missy Higgins, Court Yard Hounds (The Dixie Chicks - Natalie) and my favorite, Sarah McLachlan.
* allowing the people to stay in our 11th row seats that moved when we went to get drinks. We decided to share our good fortune.

"You can't make someone else's choices. You shouldn't let someone else make yours." -Gen Colin Powell
I have gratitude today for...
* getting through my cleaning jobs even though my back was killing me
* being able to bring Adrienne dinner and hanging out for a bit at her new place in Manayunk. She had ACL surgery yesterday so she's stuck in the house for the next several weeks.
