Things to be grateful for
My friends who are helping me to remember who I am and what I’m here for.
I was able to pick up my fave salad dressing at HEB last week in Austin. Y’all just don’t KNOW how huge this is.
I got to see Chris H and hang out with him. It’s easy to smile when he’s around.
I got to spend 2 nights at Enchanted Forest and see old friends and update them on my plans to be with them again someday soon.
My hangover after SXSW Web Awards only lasted one day.
I finished reading Ender’s Game - great book.
I have a great job that challenges me daily and is making it possible for me to pay my bills.
I found an accountant who will work with me to get my taxes done and get me back on track.
I signed up for a month of Dahn Yoga and I think that this will help me immensely, mentally, emotionally and physically.
I’ve been loved and I am loved. People care about me and what happens to me.
I’m a strong person, I have many friends and while the going is tough right now, it won’t last forever and I’m going to be ok.
I must remember to surround myself with positive people, creative people.

AND! Now I have a place to live… Machu Pichu. I am a lucky girl. I get to live with burners again. Thank the universe. Clouds and grey skies begone!

I felt like my mom was up there and hit ‘play’ on this song on the radio this morning for me:
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small when you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you’ll give fate a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances but they’re worth taking
Loving might be a mistake but it’s worth making
Don’t let some hellbent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out, reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
(Time is a real and constant motion)
I hope you dance
(Always rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who)
I hope you dance
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder
Where those years have gone)
I hope you still feel small when you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you’ll give fate a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
Dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
(Time is a real and constant motion)
I hope you dance
(Always rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who)
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
I hope you dance
(Where those years have gone)
(Tell me who)
I hope you dance
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder
Where those years have gone)
