most recent grateful/positiveness:

~~getting a cold and taking care of myself to the point of not doing anything, drank so much water yesterday my kidney's couldn't keep up! so being capable to do so as well as being smarter about my health
~~Tanya and all her wonderfulness, growing up with her as a friend has been a major blessing
~~my Mexi-family, whatever adventure you're on and wherever you have "kidnapped" my GMA to i know you're having fun and continue to inspire me on a daily basis
~~my sister and brother's for always keeping in touch with me and always being there, i don't always have to like them or the decisions they make -- i will ALWAYS love them
~~"two feet and a heartbeat!" - - these words go through my head as i lie on the couch with my snot rags, inspired me to go home and take care of myself more so i can go for that walk later on this week
~~my sister friend Stephy, great continuing convo's this week and awesome seeing all that you're doing with your life and yourself. very proud of you lil miss!
~~old friends
~~Betty Boop and all she represents, love you Gaggy :)
~~my Mexi-shoes ("party shoes") remind me of where i've been and where i'm going.... no matter what, it takes one step at a time.... and why not do it in style? (right Tia Cynthia?)
~~my family, no matter how big, how obnoxious, or how wonderful you all are - you're always there
~~cousins, both near and far
~~my quest for knowledge
~~finding out more for my upgrading to continue on with my long term BIG girl goals
~~FB, even tho you take up too much of my time and are addicting i appreciate that you keep me in contact with friends and family
~~breathing in and out and seeing another day
~~the rain's back!!!!! YAY!!!!
~~my Odo family, thanx again for having me and letting me house sit, the doggies and cats kept me in great company over the holidays

that was a few more than i'm sure usual, a lot to be grateful for in this ol' life.... what can i say? i'm putting more of a positive spin on things these days. and if i can't be merry f-ing sunshine all the time well at least i'm me!!!!
big love
