I'm grateful that the kitty gift I stepped in this morning was "only" a fur ball.

I'm grateful that my daughter actually managed to get ready quick enough to go to school early and get help on the homework she couldn't figure out.

I'm grateful for the new pillow I bought last night so now I don't have a stiff neck headache this morning.

I'm grateful that I stopped at Kohl's last night on the spur of the moment and found some awesome orange sheets on sale so cheap they'd have had to be giving them away otherwise. I can't wait to see the look on my son's face when he sees them on Friday. Orange is his favorite color. (and they're soft, smooth 100% cotton. ooooohhhhh aaaaaahhhhh).

I'm grateful that my office hasn't canceled my contract even though I've been less than productive the past couple of years. It pays to at least do well what you manage to do at all. (and be honest when you're struggling so they don't just think you're being a slacker).

I'm grateful that I haven't been shown the exit door of PC because I'm starting to get better.

I'm grateful for my daughter's counselor who understands how hard it is to communicate with some of the people in our family and doesn't leave her feeling bad about it, but tells her to be assertive and stand up for herself.

I'm grateful that we're having really nice weather today (and tomorrow too).
