Today I'm grateful for spring, and also my health. My body is pretty hardy so I don't have any chronic conditions or anything like that and I couldn't be more grateful.

Today I'm grateful for being able to pay rent because of wonderful people in this world who care about my well being. It's nice knowing that people care about you. It is also nice to know when you are a good person & think positive that life comes around to giving you some good karma.
Ever so grateful.

I'm grateful for the connections I've made with people over the past six months. I made some new guy friends and one new female friend, which is more than I can say for myself over the past several years. After breaking up with my ex-boyfriend, I became a lot more extroverted and finally feel like myself again.

I was starving in class last night - like, kinda shaking cuz my blood sugar was so low. So I went to the vending machine on break. I didn't have any cash and when I tried to swipe my card, the card reader was offline. Then I looked down and there was a bag of pretzels sitting in the chute that someone had bought and then walked away from.
Not my first choice, but thank god for some type of food, and it was probably far healthier than those poptarts I was gonna get lol

my financial aid dispersed and i got 3k more than I originally thought. Which means after all my scholarships and grants I have only paid $337 in tuition out of my own pocket this whole semester. Pretty awesome feeling. I also got a dining hall scholarship which means I'm gonna save a ton of money on food. I'm proud of myself for getting good grades as I was chosen to receive a scholarship based on gpa & test scores that only 10 students get in a college with 40,000+ students.
thank you universe and thank you past self for working hard.

I'm grateful to have art commissions keeping me busy. Even though I have to redo one because I messed it up with paint thinner (oops!). It's been helping me grow and also bringing in a bit of extra cash. :)

Today I'm grateful for my club. I know this sounds ridiculous, but I'm saving up money and today was just an excellent day. I worked my 5 hour shift and made about $500 off of regulars and big tippers, which I didn't realize until I counted it at the end. I was so surprised I almost cried.
And the guys were nice, funny, even cute. Can I just press "repeat" for every shift, please?!? :D

After almost 9 years of bullshit, my ex and I are truly friends. I visited him last night and we had a great time, and a good talk about how it's a little weird for me to believe that we're truly friends now, but he's been proving it so far, and he didn't get defensive and totally understood and continued being cool. That's all I ever wanted from him. I like his new gf and we can talk about our dating lives and hang out platonically and just have a good time. It's so nice. I feel like a one in a million happy ending for a girl whose shitty ex apologized, turned his behavior around, and actually got it together to form a decent friendship.

Just turned in the final 2 papers for my summer class! IT'S OVER! I can finally devote myself fully to this semester's classes without that hanging over my head anymore, and reclaim some free time.

I'm grateful I finally found the right ratio of hydrogen peroxide to hot water for my sinus rinses (I have chronic sinusitis.)
I'm grateful I got a lot accomplished today despite not feeling super motivated.

The spa job.
Even though reservations can be so slow and Outcalls are slim in this city, you can't beat immediate cash in hand ( or at least I can't because I have way too many family members to dance in this city ). ;/

Today I'm grateful for:
*Getting rent paid just in time.
*For the person who helped get rent paid.
*Because of that, having a roof & place to sleep still.
*Getting a job interview on Monday & staying positive on landing it.
*Camming which gives me an outlet to overcome my shy side, meet new people, having people compliment me each time I'm online.
*The SM motivational group: Without it, I think I would of given up on SM because twice I failed. The third time, landed my first ever private.
I'm grateful for waking up this morning and being single. With all the sadness in the world this morning I hope we can all find happiness in the little things at least.

Today I'm grateful to be alive, have a amazing hubby & family (two dogs hehe). I'm also grateful (still) to having a place to call home & food to it.
It really is the small things in life that matter so much. Never take anything or anyone for granted because they could die tomorrow - you just never know. And you could lose your home in the blink of an eye so be grateful for all your blessings in life as not everyone has the same as you do. Appreciate what you have & who you have everyday. Life is just too short to take things for granted.

Today I'm grateful for a few things:
-Hubby finally after 6 long weeks got his first unemployment benefits which should be processed fully on Monday so we'll be able to pay rent.
-Monday I got a job interview. Gonna so land it! I'm being positive!
-Sold another video on MV
-Got another private on SM
-Have 300+ followers now
-Having a roof over my head still is an amazing feeling.

Today I am grateful for the fact that when I felt I was going to crack from stress and anxiety, God swooped in. I found out I got a raise at my vanilla job and stock bonuses. A wonderful end to a horrific week.

I'm so glad my mom raised me on healthy, home cooked meals. We never ate processed crap and we were poor so being picky about food wasn't an option. Don't like peas? Tough luck, eat them or go to bed hungry. So I'm incredibly grateful that i grew up appreciating the right way to eat and with a love of veggies. Her cooking was a gift to me that has just kept giving to me over and over, especially now that I'm a little older. :)

Mercury Is FINALLY out of retrograde. ( Yes, I know, its still in shadow phase). But overall, its finished. *Does happy dance*.
This was a bad one. Like so bad that I never ever want to repeat what happened.
