Keeping this one short & sweet...sorta.

Well I am keeping this one short again due to the time. Every day there are so many things I am grateful for. It feels unfair to not be able to write all of them down. Ha...I guess I could tweet about it every time I think about random things I am grateful for....perhaps I will. I wonder how many people would get annoyed with it...

I'm just gonna list them out tonight...short and sweet. No particular order...just a list.

I'm grateful that I work at the place I do, with the people I do.
I am grateful for the friends I have here and get to have in my life.
I am grateful for my momma and all the rest of my family.
I'm grateful for music...
I am grateful for the house I live in...and the one I am going to move into.
I am grateful for my roommates...who are part of the ^^friends up there...but I see them the most...
I'm grateful for how the summer is going to end up...I see it being uh-may-zing in every possible way. (Going home might be a big part of that.)
I am grateful for the exercise I have been doing...I feel better...I am sleeping better...it just feels good.
I am uber grateful for living in California...being a resident. I feel like I have turned onto a new path...
I'm actually really extra grateful for my boss & my job...it really is THE perfect job for me and the more I do, the more I learn. The more I learn, the better I do...and it's pretty much a repeat-cycle of awesomeness.


These ones just flowed out of my fingertips and I didn't even realize I had hit 10. I realized that the only time I think of the words "can't" or "impossible" are when I think about how it's impossible for me to think a negative thought...I can't think a negative thought. 99.9% of the time I can always think of a positive side to any situation. It's not a matter of being naive or unaware of what's going on. It's about looking at it from a different perspective and seeing how somehow, someway, something, is happening for a reason. You may not know why for years after it happens, and you could possibly never know why. But you still have to go through it. There's a light at the end of every tunnel. You just have to find it.

Oooookay here's a mini cheers *woot woot* for posting two nights in a row.

It's really been almost 4 months...

I can't believe it's been 4 months since I have done one of these...I guess life has been so great I haven't had to write out the things I am grateful for. I am aware of all the amazingness in my life...every day.
Since my last blog, I have had my old roommates (who I was so ever grateful for all the time) move out and new ones move in. If I thought I had great roommates before, I was just setting the bar high for the current roommates I have now. They definitely succeeded in reaching that expectation. This batch of roommates is UH-may-ZING! We have had such a blast together...from the parties to the beach days to the Vegas nights to the work out sessions to the movie marathons. Somehow...I was blessed when I moved into this house. Which brings me to my next point...of having to move out of this house. Everything about my life here is exactly what I expected, except for my income. I will admit, I believed I was going to earn more and be able to afford a balanced life a little more than what I am balancing right now. The search is on for a 2nd job to catch up and get ahead, and it's also time for me to move out of this amazing house. Leave my fantastic roommates, the sweet house, all of it. Not going too far...just a few miles away in with my lovely friend JoDee. You know...the one I have mentioned time and time again. Yeah...her. I finally get to move into the house she lives in, and will still be a short distance from my job.I am very very excited to be able to live with her and see what kind of excitement comes into my life!
Along with this change...I have started my new job...been there for about 3 months now. Funny to think...this is the exact job I knew I was going to get. The one I felt was mine. I feel so happy every day going to work, knowing I am working my way towards the success and happiness that will come from this job...the life I envisioned for myself is well on its way. What's interesting about this job is that I feel like I fit within this company...the excitement of it all has mellowed out and it's just a natural feeling now. When people ask me about my job, I can nonchalantly express my love for it. I have great health benefits, great pay (compared to the jobs back home), great people I work with, everything is just great. Great Great Great.
I am going to have to make this a quick post...imagine that. So tired I barely can keep my eyes open.
Before I close though....I have quit smoking again. Using the patch as my assistant and it's working marvelously. I have begun working out with the Slim in 6 program and changed my eating habits...getting back in shape, healthy and happy. Just like I planned.

Until next time, which hopefully will be sooner than later, goodnight.
