Well, back from vacation, and I guess that means that I owe about 10 ... so here goes:
1) I am grateful for the sunshine that finally gave me a bit of a tan ... now, I have the same skin color as most other people instead of looking like a bleached sheet ~_^
2) I am grateful for feeling healthy. Being on the island and relaxing gave me time to just let go of being insecure about myself. Also, I think that having a bit of color to my skin has helped me see the woman in the mirror as beautiful.
3) I am grateful for the rain. It was beautiful and sunny for our vacation, and now that I am back, it was storming and raining like it used to back home. I have just been ACHING for a good storm.
4) I am grateful for secluded beaches and foresty swimming holes. There is nothing quite like swimming where you know that there aren't any other people for miles.
5) I am grateful for good friends. Despite the nagging and the irritations that come with people figuring that I am still the same girl I was in highschool, it is good to know that some of my best friends miss me as much as I have missed them.
6) I am grateful for chosen family. My own family is a little insane, but it is good to have people in my life who love me and accept me into their families without questions and without assumptions.
7) I am grateful for berry wine ... yummy! Smooth and sweet, you don't even realize how drunk you are ~_^
8) I am grateful to have my brother willing to help me out when I am gone. He looked in on the kitties, and watered my plants for me while we were away ... a couple of the ones that were touch and go didn't make it, but the rest are thriving.
9) I am grateful for my kitties. Binx hasn't been out of my lap for two days, he missed me so much ... Kitties are wonderful.
10) I am grateful for the quality time I have had this last week with my fiance. It is great to not have to worry about work or anything else for a little while and just enjoy being together.
