The Gratitude Project - Days 8, 9 and 10

I am bad at this. I admit it. And I am very tired again, but here goes:

1) I am grateful for my muse. I have managed, after a bump in an early section of my novel that was just *bad*, to get the juices flowing again and I have been writing (re-writing) pretty steadily.

2) I am grateful for the rain. I miss it in the summer. I love the smell of fall that comes in mid August. It promises of warmth and comfort, and of celebrations and the joys of home life and family. I can really understand why it is good luck to be married in the fall as opposed to the spring. I want nothing more on days like these than to snuggle up under a soft blanket with my man and a hot cup of chocolate.

Which leads to -

3) I am grateful for great sex. Night shifts and too many days of rushed 'I love you's as we pass eachother on our ways to work take its toll. Though, there is something to be said for missing eachother ~_^

The Gratitude Project - Day 11

Today I am grateful for ... lazy days. I didn't do much today, and I don't feel bad about it. I played some video games (my Warlock is almost lvl 40 ... hooray!), I watched a few movies and I went for coffee with my brother (who has finally decided to listen to me for once ... so, hooray! again).

It was cool, rainy and I didn't worry about much of anything. My dream is to have many of such days all in a row. Days when the air is soft and the world feels like magic. I remember periods of weeks back home when everything would bleed together and there was nothing but warm drinks, grey skies and roaring fires. I miss those days. Someday, I will have them back.
