I have gratitude today for...
* the massage clinic Andy & I attended today. It was a three hour seminar about massage techniques at Merritt Massage. Jennifer was great! Now I want to buy a massage bed.
* lunch with Andy at Gino's Burgers & Chicken. It's an old Philly chain that was just reborn. It was really good.
* finishing Season 5 of Entourage.
* slow-cooked and then BBQ'd ribs for dinner.
* reading a bunch of Ruminations e-mails (Aaron Karo). After all these years they still make me laugh.
* doing a bunch of research and sending out emails to Bed & Breakfast places in the area for the night before the wedding.
Finding ways to do good in this crazy world, figuring out life as I live it, reflecting on lessons learned and showing gratitude every day...even the hard ones.

I have gratitude today for...
* starting my weekend off with a great yoga class at the gym.
* Kem & the girls running a little late so I could take a shower before going out with them.
* the new sunscreen face lotion I tried and love. Garnier Moisture RescueLightweight UV Lotion SPF 15. It's one of the first I've tried that actually doesn't feel greasy.
* lunch at Ruby's Diner with Kem, Edie & Molly. The girls thought the old-fashioned diner was pretty cool.
* finding the girls' flower girl dresses at the first store we went to. They're beautiful dresses and Edie & Molly looked so cute in them. I can't wait for September 17th!
* getting the long overdue oil change and tire balancing done on my car. Also for Tires Plus warning me about the condition my battery was in---so I had that replaced as well. My little Honda is almost at 100,000 miles!
* the short nap I took on the couch this afternoon.
* a relaxing evening at home with Andy.

I have gratitude today for...
* getting a lot of work done at the office today.
* bringing in another front cover sale, my biggest to date!
* doing yoga on my own at home. I went to the gym thinking there was a yoga class late this afternoon but I misread the schedule.
* having the evening to myself at home. It was nice eating leftovers, getting the laundry done and watching "Our America" & "Master Class" episodes on OWN.
* the life I am blessed to live everyday. My family, friends, home, car, savings, safety, freedom, privileges...I could go on forever. World events like today's earthquake/tsunami in Japan reinforce how lucky I am for so many things in my life. The news coverage has been so heartbreaking, it seems these disasters are too common these days.

I have gratitude today for...
* sleeping in and having a leisurely morning.
* talking with Erin and catching up about wedding details. She also (finally) told me she is pregnant!!! I am so happy for her & Bill. She still wants to be in the wedding, even though she will be due less than 3 weeks from the wedding date!
* more exciting basketball games today.
* the awesome chicken picatta dinner I made for Andy & me.
* finishing Season 6 of Entourage. I'm going to be sad when there are no more to watch.

I have gratitude today for...
* being able to fall back asleep for a few hours after I was up from 3-6am. I couldn't sleep, and Andy snoring didn't help. I went onto the futon and watched a few episodes of Ellen until I fell asleep.
* making Sunday breakfast with Andy. We made breakfast potatoes, bacon and had grapefruit and bananas. We rarely make breakfast on the weekends so it was a nice treat.
* using my birthday free pizza offer from Tony A's for lunch today. We went to Andy's mom's house to return her car and get the mail. It was nice to sit outside and eat lunch. Andy spent some time cleaning up the backyard and I read on the deck.
* the adorable Vera Bradley makeup bag I bought today using my birthday certificate. I love how all of the my favorite places send great birthday offers these days. I ended up only having to pay $10 for it!
* working with Mrs. C to set up her TS fundraiser for the Miles for Myeloma Philly 5K in April. We hit a few kinks but worked them out and now I know how to set up fundraisers/parties using Facebook.
