Name 10 things you are grateful for

By Anonymous

What are ten things you are grateful for?
List below in the comments.

Here are mine. 

You. (Fans and Friends) That could be very cheesy, but I don't care. I am being honest. 

I absolutely love my fans because they give me wonderful feedback and I enjoy hearing what you have to say. I don't ever want to take you for granted. It is why I take the time to respond to you as much as I can. 

 It's not just about your being fans, either. I consider you all my family. I love to chat with you, I love to get to know you. When I can inspire someone to change their life: I absolutely freaking love it. It makes all the stuff I've gone through worth it. When someone takes the time to message me? You better believe I will take the time to respond. Every individual I meet in this life I am grateful for. The good and the bad. Everyone has taught, and will teach, me something. And I do so love learning all about you and what makes you tick. All your wonderful opposing views are fabulous to listen to. 


Editors and Critiques. I'm sure that seems like an odd thing to some. You like being corrected? It's the type of correction. I don't like people correcting random things I do, or criticizing me all day long for things I don't ask for. When I need honest feedback? When I ask for it? I enjoy it. Without them, I couldn't improve my work. I couldn't perfect my craft. It is so important to me to improve my craft that I am constantly reading and learning to do so. If I don't give you my best, why would I bother to write? One must always try to improve upon what can be. I am so incredibly grateful for people who can properly fix what I do and show me where I need it. Otherwise I wouldn't constantly be telling everyone that if you find an error, let me know! It also keeps me grounded and reminds me how personal my business is. I love that. 

Books. I love to read. I don't know what I would do without books. I learn from them, I travel the world through them, I practice magic in them. 

Music. I am listening to some now, in fact. Without music, life would be mediocre. I love the mood-lifting abilities as well as the background it provides. 

Chocolate. I thought I'd better get serious up in hur. Without chocolate, I am not quite sure what would come of me. I'm sure if you cut me up, I would bleed chocolate and 

Coffee. See above. Without that wonderful glorious substance I would more than likely be found in the middle of the floor. Face down, I'd mumble, "go around me" should you come upon the lifeless form which was moi. 

Puppy demons and dog slober. Well, not entirely that. There are moments I am quite convinced that these beings surrounding me are possessed. Oh boy do I ever. Like when an item disappears from under my nose? Come on. That's pure magic there. Evil magic too if you consider the sweet look they give you saying it was clearly not them ... must've been that cat sleeping peacefully in the corner. They make me smile every minute of the day. I couldn't be unhappy if I tried.

What am I at? Oh, 7. ...

Fresh Air. I love stepping outside the door and breathing in that clean air when I need a break. There is something refreshing about doing so and I am grateful that our state has that option. 

My Best Friend. There are no words to what they have listened to. The fact that they still love me through it is wonderful. Unconditional support knows no bounds when it comes to them. Listening to me. Allowing me space when I need it. Always being there. They teach me what best friends are. 

Knowledge. Knowledge is truly powerful. 

Have I mentioned chocolate?
Oh.
Moving on. 

My Business. I love running and owning my own business more than one can express. I am so incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to do it because I don't think I could've ever gained more happiness from anything else. I am truly passionate about this career and grateful for all the wonderful opportunities it provides me as well as the incredibly people I meet through it. I'm not sure I would have had that chance, otherwise. My confidence soars because of it. 

Your turn. ...

Silent relaxing sunday--wait it's Saturday. A day lost and found! :)

This week's   GBE   is about "Lost and Found." I know a lot of people some years back thought that I'd lost myself. I was even told it was the better part of myself. It took me years to figure out that it wasn't true. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I always believed it to be true. Until I finally had the courage to admit to myself, that they were in the wrong; not me.  That's the problem with some "friends." They aren't really your friends. Someone recently told me something that really hit home. It was profound even.  She said:  "The friend is not a friend. just a person with emotional gravity in your life."    Well that's true. Granted, the comment she had made was from a completely different happening, but still it works.  A lot of people are fortunate in having tons of close friends, even close friends that stick around their entire lifetime. I gave up on that notion a long time ago. I realized that mostly, friends w...

(GBE 2:Blog On) First Love

By
Old post being reposted. GBE2: Blog On's Topic this week is: First Love Click the link to find out what GBE2: Blog On is and how YOU can participate. If you love writing and/or blogging, it's the place to go! Great people, great fun, what more could you ask for? FIRST LOVE When I first saw the topic for this week's GBE2, my first thought was of the friendship I walked away from just last week. He was one of my first love's. But I had already talked about it on a previous web post so I wanted something different. I just didn't want to focus on it. Today, while I was doing dishes, a.k.a inspiring myself, I thought of a different first love. To myself. I do too. I love myself. I may not always like myself... I mean come on, if you had to live with her 24/7 she might drive you batty too. But I do love myself. People can tell you so. I don't need to. Well I did, but... I'm digressing. I'm quirky, crazy (two different things there obbb...

(GBE2: Blog On) Let go of the reins and you'll know freedom

By
This week's (4th) GBE2: Blog On topic is "Control." For more info head here I admit it, I'm a type-A personality. It was a learned behavior. I felt as though I needed to be in constant control of everything around me. I worked 3 jobs and went for weeks on occasion without a day off. I still felt as though I wasn't doing enough. Not around the house, not with my friends, not for dating, not even for work. I just have always had this "I'm not doing enough" attitude instilled in me from a lot of the immediate people around me. So a lot of my behavior was ingrained so deep that I still suffer with that. I feel as though no matter what, I'm not doing enough, being the best I can be, and all of that great unhealthy attitude one should not have. But I do. And I know it's not good, but I still suffer with feeling inadequate because I am just not doing enough. Which is wrong. It's just something that I suffer with. I admit to it....
