Well...tomorrow will be two weeks since my last post. I guess I have been waiting for a few things to unfold for me to extra grateful for a blog...but I am still waiting for those things to happen. :)
So - briefly...
I am grateful that the car accident I got into last week did not give me or Kelsea broken bones...nothing was bleeding. It isn't the most ideal situation to be in, but it could be a helleva lot worse.
I am grateful for JoDee...even though we don't hang out as much and aren't walking like we used to (mostly due to me) she is still such a great friend and I am so glad I have her down here with me.
I am SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO grateful for my mother. Her help and support since I have been here is something I just can't express my gratitude on...every day I think about how lucky I am to have her as my mother.
The rest of my family...I do feel blessed. The love and support from them is just amazing. Emma...my wonderful little niece...oh how I miss her. The few times I have been able to talk to her recently have been so amazing. That little girl is so awesome...I LOVE her so much.
My roommates...again I am so blessed to have the roommates that I do. They are so supportive and helpful and just great friends. I really think the bond we all have is something everyone should ask for in roommates.
My internship..oh boy I feel so blessed every day I go in there. They are such great people..and so fun...and have helped me in so many ways...the experience I get from the office, the contacts, the future possibilities...gosh I love it so much.
My other friends down here! Thank goodness for the good times..the good friends. They are great.
The job! I still haven't heard the word (no the word is not the bird) but I know I am going to get it!!! I just KNOW IT!!!
And I am sure grateful for what my future holds for me...there is not a lot that is confirmed but I have that positive good vibe that tells me I am going to be one happy camper real soon. :)
I don't know if I hit 10 or not...I am so tired and can't think straight after 5 pm. That car accident sure is affecting my energy level. I am still thinking positive thoughts!! Just don't have the energy to express them like I normally do.

It's been a week?!?!
An entire week without blogging? Wow! That is surprising! I guess with Halloween and everything else that has been going on...I have just been busy! Plus - there are some amazing new developments happening and I haven't wanted to jinx them by talking about them too much. It's late and I am sleepy..but I had to get a blog in. I can't go more than a week without putting out in the universe all the things I am grateful for. I will make it short though...or at least try. Seems like when I say I will keep it short, it gets longer. So we will see.
So...I had an amazing work opportunity come up on Friday that I applied for, got a reply on the weekend and an interview on Monday morning. The interview went amazing...it is so my job. I am perfect for the job, perfect for the company, and will completely fit in and rock the job. I think my employers will even be surprised at how well I do my job. They know I am going to be a great person in the office, but it will be a shock at how awesome I really am and how great the job gets done with a smile and an upbeat attitude. It's so awesome. Seriously...the job itself is amazing, the benefits and perks and pay and everything are so worth it and I SO deserve it. Yeah yeah yeah. I am so excited to get the call saying that I am have the job!!
On another hand...everything is still going completely amazing down here in L.A. The weather is still pretty damn awesome...it is starting to feel like fall. No cold wind, no possible snow, no dreary skies. It's all beautiful. I don't even notice the smog and the thick air. Haha.
My roommates are still as great as ever. I have been bonding with them and they really are becoming some of my great great great friends. I feel connected to all of them in a different way...and the connections are strong. I laugh every day and have positive conversations and am just SO grateful and happy that I live with the people that I do. I truly am lucky to have landed in this amazing house with these amazing people.
The friends that I have made down here are amazing too. The friends of friends...I don't see much but they are amazing. We had a great Halloween party and I had SUCH a great time. It was a crazy big party and I am not used to going to house parties...but this one was awesome. I loved it...so much.
Of COURSE I have to be thankful and grateful and so happy that I am still getting the love and support from my family. My mother...gosh I am so blessed to have the mother that I do. I haven't talked to a lot of my family besides my mom and my sister, but I know that the support and love from the rest of them are coming and strong and very helpful. I am so amazed with how much support they give me...and know that it fuels me and my passion for success down here. I am SO lucky to have the family that I do!!!
I also have had an interesting development in the love life...I am not going to speak to much of it right now because it is in very early stages...BUT the feelings that I am getting are great for how new it is. I honestly couldn't have asked for something like this...it almost seems unreal. I really did ask for so many things in a man...in a relationship...and so far...it seems like I am getting what I asked for. I do know that before this guy...I didn't know if I could find a more perfect match for me than the one that broke my heart earlier this year. And since it is still in the early stages of this new thing...I don't want to say that he is the "one"..but it sure seems like we could be on that path. It's NUTS even writing this out...because I don't want to think too much too soon...but damn. It's almost hard not too. Anyway...yes...there is something happening. Yes...there are feelings that are starting to get stirred up between the both of us. Yes...I am extremely happy with the way things are going. YES...it is a long distance situation for the time being. Which makes it oddly better. Odd awesomely amazing is how I will put it.
So pretty much...again...I friggin love my life and the path that it's on. That golden dream job is so so so so almost here. Everything is going to fall into place just like I envisioned. Although, the relationship thing wasn't in my 5 yr plan, but who's going to deny something amazing like this. Haha. The life is great, the fun is going to begin soon with my new job going to start *wink* and yeah...the grateful good amazing wonderful things are still coming strong. My life is going so great. I hope everyone takes a hint and can stick to the positive vibes and being grateful for the great things in their lives. Don't dwell on anything negative or bad...turn it into a positive and you have the world in your hands. :)
*mwah*
Till the next one.

Day 32...wowsa...
Well well well...it is very interesting to me how easily I can go without blogging about my things I am grateful for...and yet how much I miss it when I don't. Time goes by so quickly...I can't believe the 2 month mark of me living here...and wow wow wow. Life is getting better every day. The record label that I have been trying to work at FINALLY has job openings and there is more than one and I would totally rock at any of them!!! On top of all that...the company has great perks...benefits...paid time off...vacation...everything. It's amazing better than my old job!! AND once I get hired...my first paycheck will hit riiiight about the 3 month mark of me being here. And that is exactly the time I have been waiting. The first 3 months were going to be the hardest...and whaddia know..I'm almost through it. And having great success with my endeavors. It's gonna happen. Whoooooop Whoooooop!!!
So on top of all that...(I know...how can it get better right?)...I went and saw Marc Broussard play his show and hang out with the friends I made so long ago back in Spokane. AND made new friends! I love making new friends!! REAL friends! Sabrina and The Sheriff are two of the coolest chica's I have met down here - besides my roommates - and they made the night so much better for me. Good conversation...good times...and a LOT of insight on how I can get my career going a bit better. I have a lot of great friends and people in the industry down here who are helping me get a better grip on the route I need to go with how I want my career to be to make me the happiest. Slowly but surely it's all coming together.
And I am still getting this amazing wonderful support from my mother and family and friends back home. I can't express how grateful I am to have the help and love and support that I do. It's awesome to think that soon enough...within the next year..I will be financially set and be able to return the support that I was so graciously given during this tough time. Once that job comes...whoa every better watch out cuz everything is going to be so amazingly great! KACHOW!
Okay my computer is going to die and I don't want to go get my charger so this blog is short. Overall...here we go. I am grateful for everything that I have mentioned in every single blog before...My family, friends, roommates, house, car, JODEE, the job that I am going to get, the life I am going to live, everything that I have already mentioned. STILL grateful for that great great great great awesome-as-awesome-gets life I am living now. It's rad. :)
I bid you adooo till the next one. Live it up folks. We only got one life to live. Make it as awesome as you can. BE as happy as you can!

Day 29...almost a full month of gratitude!!!
Well...it's almost surprising to look back to see when I first started this blog and realize that it's been almost a full month. Granted, in that full month I have sent out umpteen million resumes and called who-knows-how many people about jobs, and I think, finally, I have a great chance at getting a great job at a great company. I don't know more than it's a great fit for me and I believe I will get it. ;)
I have also had a lot of time to really think about things down here. I am so happy that I FINALLY made the leap to get here, and I am here!!! I have been wanting to move here for almost a frickin decade...and roadblocks and detours tried to keep me away but I made it. And guess what? I am going to MAKE IT. I am going to achieve my dreams down here. I am going to have a career that I love (which a lot of people these days can't say)...and I plan on working my ass off to get there. Not only will I get there, I will get there with integrity & respect. I will make enough money to live happily and comfortably, I will be able to support myself (which leaves no need for a man haha), and be respected in the music industry for the work I do. Yes. It will happen. I see it happening and me being at the top in my 5 year plan. I see happiness, success, enjoyment, living life to the fullest, along with hard work and dedication.
I also am reminded every day that I am down here of all the love and support I have. From the close family that I love and miss so much to the amazing lifelong friends I have back home to the new great friends I am making down here. The love and support I get each and every day from my *loves* here and back home are just amazing. I know they believe in me because they know I will make it. And knowing that...well...it's just awesome. Wanna know how I know I'm awesome? Cuz people believe in me! Haha wow...okay...
Getting settled...making new friends...experiencing life and making REAL friends. I am getting thrown back into the game of getting to know new people on a real friendship level, which sounds a little odd coming from me I know. Haha. I am all about meeting new people and making new friends, but down here, I only moved here with one friend that I knew already on a REAL level. Then the roommates became real friends, and their friends are slowly turning into real friends. Not the friends that you see every once in a while or say "Hey we need to get together." Actual friends. The kind that we will hang out. And what's amazing to add to it, once I get this killer job/career going, I can actually have time and money to hang out with my friends. As opposed to work 7 days a week and never being able to hang out with anyone except my family. Talk about a lifestyle change. Haha. Okay I am a dork.
Another thing that has come into my thoughts quite often lately is the fact that being single is quite awesome. Granted...there are *moments* that I really wish I had someone to snuggle and cuddle with and spend time with..but overall....damn why put any extra energy or time or thought into someone else when I have myself and my career to put first and make my priority? It might be a little selfish, but I gotta get where I wanna be before I can let someone else share my life like that. I wouldn't be opposed to having a non-committed friendship/relationship with someone, but no stress...no drama...no real expectations or let-downs. And really... I don't even really want that. It'd be nice, at times, but it's so easy to get caught up in someone else. With the sweet talk, smooth moves, and comfort that comes with "relations"....well...it's too easy. I want to be caught up in my friends and my life. Haha. Yeah yeah yeah...I'm a selfish phay-hole but hell...think of where I will be in a few years cuz I decided to be selfish. Livin' the effin life and enjoying every minute of it. I am 99.99999999% sure that when "that" guy comes into my life, I will know it in some way. And then I can go from there.
This is again, a different setup for my blog. It's not a list, I don't fit into a mold. (ha) It's what it is though. And they are my reflections...and I am surely absolutely grateful for my family, friends, internship, house, roomies, life, weather, car, the money (income), sunshine, MUSIC, good times, shows, laughs, good food, healthy living, energetic days, amazing nights, just about every darn thing in my life I am grateful for.
Yup. Life is good. Enjoy it.

Day 28...whoa five days!
Well considering I had my *Rin aka Andie down here from good ole Cd'A...I wasn't able to blog the past 2 days. I got to go to a show one night too..so yeah. I have had a great 5 effin days!
Quickly because of I have other things I want to write out tonight...the 10 things I am grateful for...are...
My family. My mom, my sissy, my bro, my sil, my wonderful little niece that I haven't talked to in sooo long....all my family...
My friends. JoDee and Jamie went with me to see Serena Ryder & NeedToBreathe and we had a great time! So glad I could catch that show...and then Erin came down and we partied it up so great on Friday night. We were wrecked on Saturday but it was worth it. Had such a blast. Met up with Amit & David...it was just great. All the pals...new and old...I just am so grateful to have them in my life.
My roomies. Totally bonded with Beth before the weekend started...every week I get closer with each of my roomies. I just love it.
Being cautious...I will just leave it at that.
My internship! The whole week was great...I helped out doing some really important stuff and get to do more cool stuff next week! And my people I work with are so nice and fun! I am very lucky to be within the doors of this company.
My job that I will get soon. I know that job is coming. I am asking for a job to come into my life that gets the bills paid, allows me to enjoy the life down here, and get me where I need to go. If I have to wait for a while to get that music biz job, well...that is AOK with me cuz I know the one I am meant to get will be here soon!! I am asking for a god great fun job that pays the bills and gives me the freedom I need to live comfortably. :)
The week that is ahead! I get to hang out with my friends tomorrow and the next day....great music...great friends. GREAT TIMES!! Marc Broussard playing at the Mint in Los Angeles....go go go go!!! Mon & Tues night. It'll be worth it.
Living down here. It's been so hot. Nice and perfect temperature. Erin was roasting and said it was chilly and windy and rainy back home. Haha. Suckas!!
My car. My reliable safe vehicle. It gets me where I need to go and I love it. :)
....finally...I am grateful for every positive piece of energy that is flowing in my direction. It's such a great thing to have...POSITIVE-IST is I!!!

Day 23...
Hmmm hmmm hmmm...I haven't been doing these consistently but I am certainly still grateful for everything that has been on my lists the past few weeks. I am grateful and thankful and feel so blessed to have my life filled with such amazing people. Work, family, friends, roommates, past & future co-workers, everyone...I am just so lucky to have everything in my life going for me. The job I am meant to get is on its way...so close. I keep saying that but it's because I feel it. It's so *right* there...
Today, I am grateful for anything and everything I have mentioned in every single one of my previous blogs.
It's a short post today but it's time for bed and an amazing tomorrow. I get to go back and work at my internship and go to a really great show tomorrow night. Serena Ryder, Alternate Routes, and NeedToBreathe. AH YEAH! Great music..it's been so long since I have been to a show. And a good one at that. Yay for my life. :)

Going on week 4...
Wow...tomorrow will be the beginning of the 4th week of the blog. I have only missed a few days...that's not bad I'd say. Good sign that I am living life a little more down here. Still staying strong, I know I will get "that" job soon and everything will keep going up. Since the beginning of this blog I haven't had any serious moments of sadness. I have had my moments of SERIOUSLY missing people, but I have been strong and it's getting easier. I have been here for practically a month and a half. Once the positive thoughts and vibes starting taking over, everything has been great! I have been meeting new friends, all of them so nice and awesome and great. I am getting the best start of great friendships with the RIGHT kinda of people. The people I get to live with, I feel so grateful for them every single day. It's nutty how awesome, chill of a house we have. The people at the internship are amazing too! It's a great environment and I love being there every day. I love the job I have to do and the things I get to learn. It's amazing. The job opportunities that are opening are giving me a lot of hope and excitement for what's to come! Things have been going up and they are going to stay on that track for a while. It's so cool to feel the amazing-ness that is on it's way. The support from my family is still strong and I can feel it all the way down here. Actually...the support from my friends back home is amazing too. I feel this gigantic push of confidence from everyone back there. Even though I still don't know a lot of my whereabouts down here, I am learning and slowly but surely getting to know new places and things to do. I'm starting to feel like this is my home. I can drive around without my GPS and not get lost!!! One of the things I did this weekend really helped me feel more "here"....I went to Zuma Beach for the first time ever, jumped and dived into the waves for the first time that I can remember, went to Long Beach for the first time that I can remember too, saw my new friends' band play AND went to their house for the first time. WHOA talk about a cherry poppin' day. Haha. The last day of the weekend I cleaned the floors in the house which was so needed...did laundry...was pretty productive and yet still enjoyed the weekend all the way around.
This life is good. I can't wait for the friends to come down and visit and experience it with me.
I also can't wait to go home and see my niece and family...I miss my mom a lot. I miss my sister a lot. I miss my niece UNBELIEVABLY a lot. I miss my twinny a lot too...but it just makes it so much better for me to go home! YAY!
This wasn't the same as they normally are...but I think I got the point across of everything that I am grateful for in life. :)
Pretty much everything. EVERYTHING.

Wow...its been a few days.
I have missed the past few days...YIKES! Quickly I need to get these things I am grateful out and catch up. Here's the things from the past few days.
Repetitive...a tad.
I AM GRATEFUL FOR...
....my family. My mother and the rest. The support and love and faith is such a wonderful thing to have.
....my friends. The new ones down here are such amazing new friends. The ones back home that are still sending me love and support are just the best. I am so grateful to have them in my life. Now and forever...haha.
....the internship that I have been blessed to work at. I had a sick day and went in a different day and they were happy to have me there whenever and want me to go in whatever days I can. They understand that I am looking for a job and when I find one if I have to quit helping them...I just love them.
....my Twin. I already mentioned my friends but my Twinny gets a special one today. She called me so sad I am gone and she misses me so much. I am so grateful that I have her as my faux twin. She is the best friend I could ever have and I am just so grateful to have her in my life and have her love and support.
....the job I am going to get so soon. I had an interview with them and they loved me and I am SO going to get that job. It's gonna be great and gonna pay my bills and I am going to love it!
....the connections I have made down here. The new friends and connections that are going to get me further and further into my success....love love love it.
....MY ROOMMATES!!! They are the best anyone could ever ask for! They are friends for life I believe. We get along so well and it's just one of the best things to be grateful for.
....living down here. It's been so hot today. In the 90's...and it was in the 50's at home. Haha. Suckas!!
....my car. My reliable safe vehicle. It gets me where I need to go and I love it. :)
....finally...I am grateful for every positive piece of energy that is flowing in my direction. It's such a great thing to have...POSITIVE-IST is I!!!

Day Fifteen :)
Well...going on the 3rd week with this blog. Feels good to think about everything in my life that is good...and things I am happy to have going on.
I AM GRATEFUL FOR....
...my wonderful mother. She is such an amazing woman! Every day I am reminded and thankful of the wonderful mother I was blessed with.
...the rest of my wonderful family...each and every one of them. The support system I have is unstoppable!
...the roomies! The "half" roomie Cole and the real roomie Beth and I hung out tonight and yes...the friends I have made here could be priceless I believe. I am so lucky to have met them.
...the weather! OH YEAH BABY! It's 61 degrees and feels good outside! I can be out there with just a light jacket and apparently back home..that is definitely not possible! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!
...the internship! It's so fun! I love the people I work with...the stuff I get to be involved with just fuels me! Going there every day reminds me of the wonderful life I am going to have doing what I love!
...the wonderful JODSTER! I am grateful that I get to miss her when I haven't seen her in a couple days. What a friend she is. :)
...the interview that I have on Thursday! The first of many I believe. I can feel that job coming! And I am going to make enough money to pay my bills, my debt and have fun!!
...that job I am going to get! YIKES it is so cool that I am going to get a job like the one that is coming my way. I could even get 2! Maybe 3! Depending on the amount of hours I work at all of them...I could handle 3! And all the places are going to be soo cool!
...my friends back home! The random texts and messages I get are so awesome. I am so glad I have made the friends I have the past 26 years. I *heart* all!
...the ability to be happy all on my own. I mean...I have my family and friends that make me happy...but really...you can't be happy with other people unless you are happy with yourself.
Lovin' life...
'til tomorrow.

Day 11 AND 12 Whoooa.
Yup. I missed yesterday. The day was so awesome up till I fell asleep! Sooo today I get a 2-for-1 pass. The 10 things are going to be combined between the two days! Saweeeet!
I am so so so grateful for my roommates. I am so lucky to have people that I get along with so well living in the house together. This would be an interesting version of the Real World, no drama but lots of laughs. Katt is out of town and I miss her oh-so much and lil ole Reece is going back to Idaho for a week...lucky dog. We have all become such great buds - it's weird. When do people normally miss their roommates!?! Hah. I'm lucky.
I am grateful for my mother, my brother, my sister, my SIL, Emma...the family. There support and love keeps me going every day. I know they would support me no matter what, but knowing they truly believe in me is what reminds me I am going to succeed so well down here.
I am grateful for my internship. I am able to learn and experience things that are so awesome, and still able to keep up the job search so I can make a living down here. It's such a wonderful thing that has been put into my life
I am grateful for the JODSTER!!! She came over last night and hung out and we hadn't seen each other in a week! I missed her so much! Just to hang out and chat and oh I love that girl. I am so glad she is the friend I was blessed with down here.
I am grateful for the weather!! Oh hellllllls yeah! It's been in the low 70's...still awfully wonderful. I heard it's a bit more chilly back home. :)
I am grateful for my health. I eat decent (most of the time :)) I have exercised more down here since I have been here then I did the whole summer. It's rad. I feel better having sunshine around. I want to be active. Yay!
I am grateful for the happiness and health of all my family and friends all over the country. It's so nice to be able to see their pictures and updates on the networking sites and see their happy faces or be able to try to cheer them up when they are having a downer day. To help in their happiness. :)
I am so grateful for the type of people I am becoming friends with down here. The new friends I am making are all so great...it's just so rad to have them...
I am grateful for the safe neighborhood I live and how safe I get to be when I'm hanging out with my new friends...they make sure I don't have to deal with bums or anything scary.
I am grateful for tomorrow....and Sunday...and Monday...and the next day and the next and so on and so on. They are getting better with every sunrise and sunset. I can't wait for what tomorrow brings!

Day 10: Ooh wow 10th day of 10th things!
Well..a week and a half. 10 days. I have been here for 26 days and the last 10 have been getting better and better. Every day is a new day, a new experience, a new part of my life. I am so close to having such an amazing job...it's like it's practically at my fingertips.
So here are my 10 things. Some of them are starting to be very repetitive...I knew this would happen. Here we go!
I am grateful for my mother. I talk to her every single day and it's amazing how alike we are...with each other. I feel so much better when I talk to her and hear in her voice that things are going well for her, and it's the same the other way around. I could never, ever dream of a better parent/mother/friend than the one I have.
I am grateful for my roommates!! Beth did my hair and makeup and I looked amazing! It was fun, we had a good time together. And of course the other roommies...I just *heart* them all. I am so blessed to end up with these guys.
I am grateful for the rest of my family! I talked to my lil sissy for a while last night for a while and caught up on a lot of stuff in her life. And I got to talk to my lil niecey poo tonight on the computer and see her and it was just so wonderful. She is the sweetest, most wonderful kid in the whole word.
I am grateful for the opportunities that I worked on today and the other things I found to follow up on. I got a super uber great feeling about something I did today. I feel energized and positive and just - like - yeah something is gonna happen soon.
I am grateful for the friends that I have down here. JoDee of course, I miss her tons! I haven't seen her in almost a week! And the new friends that I have...the ones I met through Jodz and my roommates. This is going to be a hella fun winter finally!
I am grateful for my brother and sister in law...working for them at the deli long ago and being able to live with them in that house as much as I did the past few years really gave me a lot of knowledge and growing and helped me become a better person.
I am grateful for the music I get to experience down here. The shows that are coming around remind me that I am going to really enjoy the bigger market. Once that killer job gets here, I will be able to buy tickets to the shows of the artists I have been dying to see and also the job could allow me to not have to pay. :) Yay!
I am grateful for - this might sound weird - myself. I am grateful that I was blessed to become the type of person I am. I'd like to say that I am a pretty genuine fun person, and since I love to have fun and laugh and be a dork...I am able to really enjoy life. So yeah...I am grateful for myself. Ooooooh I am so conceited. Hah. Just kidding.
I am grateful for my health...I ate pretty healthy today and feel great about myself. My skin is looking great and I feel like my body is getting stronger and better every day!
I am grateful for this California weather. Yeah I have to wear jackets at night and can bust out my "boots with da fur" - but I won't see any snow and deal with skin-chapping wind. No tense drives that last 2 hours and sliding on roads because the wind just pushes you across the road. I am soooo grateful that I am here to enjoy the sunny days...yay!
Ooookay dooooookay

Day 9
So today was just a regular day for me. Nothing really exciting...nothing really not-exciting either...haha.
Today gratitude is pretty simple. As I am grateful for all the simple wonderful things in my life.
I am grateful for my family. SO grateful! I have the best support system from my mom, sister, brother, sister-in-law and everyone else. They may never know how truly grateful I am for them...well..until I am so successful and can share the success with them. ;)
I am grateful for my roommates and house. It is so nice to live with 4 other people and 2 pets and not have drama...be able to enjoy each other and actually WANT to hang out with them!
I am grateful for all of my friends from afar...back home and everywhere else they are. I feel the support from them and I know they miss me as much as I miss them. I am so excited to go home and visit everyone...seriously!
I am grateful for JoDee (aka miss sicko) cuz even in her sick mode...she is still the sweetest most awesome person to have around...yay for having such a great person in my life down here!!
I am grateful for the internship that I have worked at. I didn't go today and I felt great knowing that I missed it on a day I didn't go. That's awesome to have somewhere that I'm not getting paid to work at but yet love it and miss it.
I am grateful for CALIFORNIA!!! It's 58 degrees at 11 pm and it feels cold! I don't like being cold but it's not as cold as it would be in IDAHO! Haha!
I am grateful for that dorkus malorkus I get to talk to every day. He helps put a smile on my face and that is the best thing a girl could have.
I am grateful for my health, my healthy food I am working so hard to keep up on consuming, my healthy body that I am working on getting even more healthy and fit!!! The whole body of health! It's awesome!
I am grateful for music. So utterly grateful for the lyrics, beats and rhythms that move and lift me like they do. I can do just about anything with music by side...and it has fueled and led me here to pursue my dreams...
I am grateful for every single day. Every morning I wake up ready to make it a beautiful day and am ready for whatever is in store for me! Whether it be a struggle or an accomplishment, it's still a beautiful day.

Day 8!!! Still going strong!
So...day 8! One week ago today I started this blog...and it has definitely been a great thing for me to do!
Things have been going great! No job yet but certainly in the right direction.
I am grateful for the house I live in...it's beautiful, comfortable and it's just wonderful to have this place.
I am grateful for my roommates...all of them....4 people, one dog, one cat and Cole. Haha. Cole is the bff of Reece and he is a delight. The doggie Petunia is a precious little puppy and I am grateful she didn't get hurt even worse when I stepped on her...and Pollie is such a lovely cat...she loves my room and is very affectionate.
I am grateful for my internship and the people I get to work with there! My boss is hardcore and awesome and gets the job done the way she wants it and that's why she's a success!
I am grateful for my sister in law Steph...talking to her on the computer tonight for 2 minutes reminded me of how much grateful I truly am for her and that house I lived in for so long. I miss that living room and hanging out watching tv with the family...so grateful for them.
I am grateful for the sunshine and cool weather down here in California. It feels like fall and yet it is so sunny and beautiful out...no snow and cold winds coming my way!
I am grateful for my madre...again...without her...I would not be down here right now...she is why I am here achieving my goals...
I am grateful for my sicko friend JoDee...not cuz she is a sicko...but because she is a great friend and even still wanted to hang out and go for a walk today even though she needs her rest...
I am grateful for the job that is so close I can almost touch it! I know I will have one very soon and it will be awesome!!
I am grateful for my little niece Emma. Watching a short video of her at the park today just made me so appreciative of the time I had with her while I did. It is so precious and valuable...
I am grateful for every single day I am here and living the dream! It will happen for me and I will be forever grateful for the wonderful things I worked so hard to achieve...
IT"S GONNA HAPPEN BABY!
And good night....

I am grateful for my little niece Emma. Watching a short video of her at the park today just made me so appreciative of the time I had with her while I did. It is so precious and valuable...
I am grateful for every single day I am here and living the dream! It will happen for me and I will be forever grateful for the wonderful things I worked so hard to achieve...

Day Seven - First week was a success!!
So I didn't get a j-o-b this week but oooh boy it was a good one! Today - Sunday - was a great perfect end to my weekend. Tomorrow is Monday, I have things to follow up on and places to go - I will find a part time job or a job this week.
Anyway...without sounding like a broken record...here we go..
I am grateful for the life I am starting down here. If feels good, it feels right, and I know it's going to work out beautifully...
I am grateful for my roommates...Beth & Nick & I went to one of the state parks close to us and hiked up the hill...to a waterfall that was dry due to the time of year but it was still awesome and cool!!! Great exercise! I know where I am going on my next day alone!! AND Bethy shared with me a delicious inexpensive coffee that I can get now when I am craving those scrumptious beverages....
I am grateful for JoDee to be home!!! She went to Vegas this weekend and I am glad she will be home soon! Lil sicky but soon enough we will be back to our walks! Whoo!
I am grateful for my internship that I get to go to tomorrow! Doing finishing touches on the big project I had to do last week!! Yay! Love being able to go there!
I am grateful for the connections I got when I came down to visit earlier in the summer....I am going to get an awesome job here soon because of it!
I am grateful for Brad. He and I are amazing friends and I am so utterly grateful to have him in my life right now. He can brighten my day so easily. This transition down here has definitely been better because of his friendship. I consider myself lucky to be able to talk to him as often as I do and how we do. :)
I am grateful for the nutritious food I have in my kitchen. I can satisfy my hunger and my sweet cravings and that is such a beautiful thing.
I am grateful for all my electronics! My computer, my phone, my iPod...all of those things help me so so much! I love going to sleep listening to my "slow jam" playlist on my iPod and that I could not do without my laptop...so grateful for my family and support system!!
I am grateful for the my friends back home! SO MUCH! Talked to a handful of them today for a bit and it is so nice to still be able to keep my connections up there. I miss my friends so much but to get a quick catch up and laugh and all that - it was much appreciated and I love my friends! Thank you for your love & support!!
I am grateful for Sunday night television! Simpsons and Family Guy! Whooo!!!
That was a quick and easy 10 things! This is the best routine like thing I have started since moving here! Yay!
Alrighty everyone! Till tomorrow night! Have a great Monday!! No "case of the Monday's" for me here!!!

Day Three
I am grateful for so many things its almost hard to get a list of ten out. This week...each day has gotten better and better this week! So - here we go.
I am grateful for JoDee. She showed me and our pals from CD'A touristy stuff in Santa Monica and it was sooo fun! Then she dominated the kitchen making shishkabobs (shawshank redemption - CHICAAAA-GO!) Sorry its automatic to throw in an Ace Ventura 2 quote with that. Dinner was delicious..we always have so much fun!
I am grateful for my momma...without her I wouldn't be where I am now...in every meaning possible. In California...back in my positive mode...alive!!! :)
I am grateful for the contacts I met through working at KXLY - they have led to L.A. and have begun giving me more tools to work with to succeed in my career - with my internship and the job I will get very soon.
I am grateful for my great roommates. It's so awesome to be able to come home and have people that I can share my excitement of the day with, people who can make me laugh so hard my stomach hurts, people I can relate with, and can have great conversations with. I really lucked out with them.
I am grateful for my internship. I am learning such valuable elements to further my success - such a memorable experience.
I am grateful for the job that I can tell is almost here for me and its going to be effin amazing...and I am going to rock it like no one has before me. It's the beginning of something BIG....
I am grateful for my niece Emma...talked to her today for the first time in 2 weeks...I think I talked to her for about a minute and a half and it was great. She is such a smart awesome wonderful kid and I miss her greatly...but I am so grateful she actually said "Yes" when my sister-in-law asked if she wanted to call me.
I am grateful for everyone who supports me and knows I can achieve my dreams. Without their support and love it would be so much more difficult and I know I will be successful doing what I love to do.
I am grateful for a good landlord. Does what he needs to do but still lets me know I am a good tenant. :)
Lastly - I am grateful for the good nights sleep that I am about to get and the refreshing wonderful day that is ahead of me tomorrow.
Schaweeeeeet.

Day Two
It's amazing how quickly things can turn around with the positivity flying around like it is....
Today's 10 things I am grateful for....
Here we go.
I am grateful for...
10. The fact that I have food in the kitchen to keep me from starving.
9. The weather reports up north are so drastically different than down here.
8. The energy I get when I am working doing something I love.
7. The people I have been working with in my internship.
6. The wonderful, funny roommates I have.
5. My amazing amazing family.
4. My little niece Emma...even though I haven't talked to her in a long time...her pictures work wonders.
3. My reliable safe vehicle getting me to the places I need to be.
2. The good music I have in my collection which can fuel the positive energy even more!
1. ONCE AGAIN - JoDee!!! Walking with her throughout the week in the evenings is the best ever and the way we can talk 2 hours away without even realizing it...I *heart* her!!
Now now...don't be discouraged when JoDee isn't numbero uno. She is one of the biggest things in my life right now that helps me get through whatever is I need to get through. Her and my mother are my saving graces. One day I am sure I won't need the support as severely as I do now...but I will always be forever grateful.
Yay! I love the great things happening! More awesome-ness is on it's way!!

What this blog is for....Day One
I was reminded today that my normalcy of positive thinking has been thrown off due to my new surroundings and not having a routine or consistancy. It is up to me to remember the things I am grateful for as opposed to thinking of the things I didn't get done or what steps I didn't take each day.
So my first step back to being me is remembering the things I am grateful for. Each day before I go to bed, I am going to blog the 10 things I am grateful for from the day. They could be repetitive, they could be fresh and new, they could be silly or they could be completely meaningful. The possibilities are endless.
Here we go.
Day One - 09.28.09
I am grateful that -
10. I have a safe, reliable vehicle that gets me where I need to go.
9. I have a nice, safe, comfortable place to live.
8. I live with 4 great people that I get along with beautifully.
7. I have nutritious food that keeps me energetic and healthy.
6. I have a family and friends that care about me and believe in my dreams with me.
5. I live less than an hour away from the ocean.
4. My roommates little dog Petunia went to the Dr. and even though she is injured, she is going to be okay.
3. I am one step closer to finding the job I meant to have.
2. I have an amazing internship with an amazing company that is going to teach me so much of what I need to know to further my success in my career.
1. I have JoDee here...a friend from home/here that helps me more than anything I ever could have asked for.
There really isn't any real reason I have them numbered that way, although I am mostly grateful for JoDee, my internship, and my family. My mother is my saving grace, as is JoDee and my internship.
Future blogs may be outlined differently, it all depends on how my creativeness is ticking.
Day one - task completed.
