I am grateful for this thread, and an opportunity to count my blessings. Does that count?
I am grateful to:
1) THOR, who came into my life this year. My sweet, crazy little dog who loves me no matter what. He never fails to crack me up with his little doggie perspective on life. Cats = terrifying! Bark for you life! Muddy grass = free spa day!
2) Living in SF, where it's still sunny and sixty most days, even in November.
3) Despite the horrible economy, my company is doing really well. I'm on a very interesting project, the client is actually nice, I'm learning tons, I have a great team, and we should get good bonuses this year.
4) This is silly, but I got an iPod a few weeks ago, and I am insanely in love with it. My job pays for it, so I can spend ridiculous amounts of time looking for dumb little apps.
5) 30 Rock - no matter how stressed I get, I can count on laughing for 30 minutes every week.
6) Another nerdy work one - the Microsoft app OneNote. I am learning so much on this project and FORGETTING so much. This app is terrific for keeping all kinds of miscellaneous notes and thoughts.
7) The people who schedule yorkie meets, get vendors to come, provide free food, and generally go out of their way so that the rest of us can have a good time.
8) The dogs I walk at my rescue, who never fail to delight, entertain, educate, and exercise me.
9) My smart, funny, kind friends.
10) Pedicurists. Anyone who handles feet all day without throwing up is a hero.
(eleventy) All the great people on this site, of course.
