1. I am grateful for my friend John. From day one, I knew this kid would change my life. And I was right. But I had no idea he would change it so drastically. He has given me confidence in myself. In a way that I have never felt before. He treats me with respect, he treats everyone, with respect. When John is around, life isn't only good, its great. No matter what your doing, he makes things golden. But perhaps one of the best parts about him, is that he doesn't do any of it on purpose. John simply has a phenomenal character, and a strong spirit. He loves everyone equally, and seems to give everyone the wings they need to fly, or the air they need to soar. My life has been truly blessed because of him. And I promise you, I thank God everyday for this angel. I'm lucky just to linger in his life. :) Thanks for paving my future with gold.. Happy Birthday, kid. :)
2. I am grateful for new friends. Whether they be just acquaintances or quickly turn into great friends, I am LOVE them. I have sooooo much to learn, and these new figures seem to bring it all to the table. :)
3. I am grateful for suuuuuuuuper long conversations with all my dear ones. Whether it be filled with laughter, anxiety, fear, or pain.. all these conversations are golden to me. I would give up anything, at anytime, to hear one of you speak.
4. I am grateful for taking care of my body. For eating right, and working it out. And I am even more grateful that all my friends seem to be joining into this change. I couldn't do it without the support. I'm WAY to weak, physically and mentally. You guys are my supports! :)

9. I am grateful for the day of love that just passed. I had a blast with some of my girls, jammin out, almost getting mauled, and downing some cheese fries! :)
10. I am grateful for my blog. though I don't keep up with most of the things I say I'm going to do, and though sometimes it really frustrates me, I am grateful for the outlet it has given me. and how also my old posts sometimes come back to re-inspire me. Its kinda cool. :)
