Today i am grateful for a day off from work where i don't have to have have a schedule except for mine, well and my probation lady, but the rest of the day is on my own schedule! I'm grateful that i am able to fully enjoy my days off because it's actually a day off from something! It's not just another day with nothing to do. I am given my right as an American to do nothing and enjoy it if i have a job :) haha. Today i am grateful just to be grateful.

Bring on the snow! :)

Today i am grateful for all of my friends. I haven't had friends in a long time that don't expect something back from me. I've never had friends who just bring me lunch for no reason, or friends who take me out to lunch when i'm having a bad day. They never expect anything in return but my friendship. That is what friendship is about. Being there for someone when they need it. I feel like i give 110% in friendships and it's nice to know that when drugs aren't involved it's not a conditional friendship. That makes me happy and grateful for who i have in my life and grateful for those that have fallen off.

Today i am grateful for the beautiful weather. It always puts me an a great mood. Although this morning when i got up, i was not so excited to make the mile and a half walk to work in the freezing cold, i just had to remind myself of the positives. I have a job. There are numerous people who would walk 2 miles in the freezing cold (my limit is 1.5 miles, so thank goodness it's not any further :) it wasn't raining today, which although it was cold out, it was beautiful watching the sun rise and the sky turn pretty colors. After i reminded myself of that i was able to enjoy my walk and be grateful i have some place to walk to!

Today i am grateful for the little things that make me laugh. If i can find one humerous thing in a situation it makes the situation better, if not at least bareable.

Work has been stressful with everything i have to do. But it's the people at work that can turn a grumpy shawna in a fun shawna. Or even the guests with how crazy they are about their hair, that can always make me smile in the end. It's amazing what a smile can do in your voice to ease the situation, or what a visible smile from a stranger can do.

Today i am grateful for the humor in life because if i didn't see it, then that would mean i was the joke and that would just not be as fun :)

day off

Today i am grateful for having a job that pays off what needs to be paid off, although i feel like i'm working for everyone else and i'm always stressed about money, it's nice to feel needed. Even though my money is pretty much gone, i made it a point to get my haircut, to finally do something for me. For an hour today it was all about me. I got an awesome scalp massage, got a deep conditioning treatment, and left with curly princess hair. It was totally worth it. It's the little moments that make it all worth while. I have a lot more confidence now with all these lucious curls.

Today i am grateful for the little things and my freedom to enjoy them.

freedom

Today i am grateful for freedom and all who supported me and kept me upbeat the last 55 days. Of course it wouldn't be my life if there wasn't drama to go along with it, but the most important part is I'M FREE and my ankle feels surprisingly light :)

I am grateful for friends who send me uplifting e-mails and help me thru the day. They are truely what keeps me going. I know in my heart that i'm doing awesome, a complete 180 from a year ago, two years ago. I am not using, i am not in jail (technically), and i have a job. Yeah, i don't have a phone, but it could be worse. I'm not sure why tmobile didn't shut off my internet too, but i will not complain. I'm grateful for the people in my life that are positive and make me complete.
