humanperson832 Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 1. The meter maid finished with the parking section I usually park in (without paying, because I'm only in a spot for all of 3-5 minutes) before I pulled into a spot, thus ensuring I didn't get a ticket.2. When I walked into Starbucks for my tall iced black coffee, "Passin' Me By" by The Pharcyde was playing. It's one of my favorite songs on Earth, just the smile-inducing moment I needed before walking into the final that had me too agitated and stressed to sleep.3. The final? Super hard. But it's over now. And I'm grateful for that. Quote Link to comment
re-animator Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 I turned 22 today, it's one of those weird birthdays in my opinion because it's not really a mile stone, it's only another stepping stone. I just started thinking about everything that has happened in my life; I've had some very harsh patches and some patches that I wouldn't trade for anything. The three things that I am most grateful for over all are:1 my family; we don't always get along, but they've always supported me and helped me through the crap that life throws out of nowhere 2 my friends; I'm not all that social and tend to lose connections to people pretty quickly, but somehow this great group of people has kept me around for four years3 life in general; it's probably the most important thing ever, since if there's no life there's nothing to be grateful for. Life is also important because it is a new and crazy experience everyday Sorry for the mush, I think I got a little heat exhaustion today and it's making me loopy and emotional Quote Level 1 Gnoll.

Bekah Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 It's been a few days, but I missed y'all! 1. That I'm in my new home 2. That I have income for June's rent3. That I am recognizing my need to set boundaries with people and working on doing that more4. That I completed 3 out of my 4 challenge goals with almost 2 weeks left5. That I think I found the perfect solution for school for my youngest6.

Shortstaxx1 Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 For a while I was reminding myself every night of 5 things that I was greatful for. Then for some reason I stopped.

It puts things in perspective. 1) That I can support my son and myself2) That I am taking a positive step towards improving my work conditions3) That I have the most wonderful best friend EVER!!!

girljen Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 1. My bed is completely covered with pets--it's amazing how much space two cats and a dog can take up. I love all of them. 2. My kindergartener knows how to read! And now that she knows how, she wants to read all.the.time. She reads picture books and billboards and her National Geographic Kids magazine to me. 3. My friend Lauren can sit up and sort Uno cards into piles by color. This is a huge deal. She was run over by a car in January and sustained severe brain injuries, as well as a broken neck and some other major injuries. Go Lauren!

Tarmac Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Well - 1. After several weeks of intense searching, we finally found a place in New York for when we move in August. (UM. HOLY #@$!. WE MOVE IN LIKE EIGHT WEEKS. WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN?!) 2. I'm off today - which is rare - and the weather is nice, so I'm off for a long ride. 3. Though today she's busy with work, yesterday my girlfriend and I finally got some time together and spent a perfect afternoon down by the waterfront - there's nothing better than oysters by the beach and a long walk on a gorgeous afternoon. Summer has finally arrived in New England. Quote Level 1 Human RangerSTR: 2 | DEX: 3 | STA: 4 | CON: 2 | WIS: 2 | CHA: 2 "Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men.

girljen Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 1. Have I mentioned my dog yet? Because, seriously, MY DOG. Missy is a 25-lb. terrier mutt, I don't know what she's mixed with (I've heard everything from Papillon to Dalmatian!), she looks like a dust mop, and she is just all kinds of awesome. 2. Free time. I took the evening for myself. I played video games, took Miss Dog for a long walk, called my boyfriend, called my daughter...it has been SO chill. 3. My job. Tomorrow is going to be a big day. We'll need all hands on deck from the time I start at 6:00 until at least 12:00. So what is my manager doing? Coming in early with breakfast burritos. WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN 3.5 I'm not working at The Private Ambulance Mega Evil Conglomerate anymore! Quote Filled with DETERMINATIONhttps://www.nerdfitness.com/character/64217 Link to comment
