Grateful: 2010 1st edition

Welcome to the new decade! My intention is to continue my pattern of counting a few of my blessings in Sunday posts. So here is a list of a few of the things I’m grateful for this week:

  • Extra PTO that required me to work only one (1) day this past week. While I’d like to think that I would have a pristine house I’m happier to report that I used the time to chillax more than obsess about cleaning.
  • Low-key new year’s eve with G which included a neck massage to relieve a lingering migraine
  • Great cooking (chicken chili and salmon were a couple of highlights
  • Ending the old year by playing music with S and B
  • G made a point of talking with the boys on Friday about his “intentions”
  • Starting the new year by going to the movies and dinner with the boys and G on new year’s day (we saw Sherlock Holmes since Avatar was sold out)
  • Walking on Jan 2 to kick off my marathon training
  • All the support (and laughter) from friends here (and in person) who hear I’m going to run a half marathon
  • Taking time to read a novel (“U is for Undertow” – I heart Kinsey Millhone!)
  • A great interview/audition for a potential new church music job
  • Serving as assisting minister this week at church
  • G popped the question this morning after church (fwiw, I said yes!)

    I’m so excited for you. You went through your share of Mr Wrongs. Maybe that means there’s hope for me too.
