I had a sh*tastic day today, so this will be good for me:
*I am glad all my basic needs are taken care of, even though I sometimes take them for granted. So many other people in the world can't say the same thing.
*I am glad that my car gets good gas mileage
*I am glad that as much as I hate the red-tape and crap that goes on at my job, my principal is a great person who supports me
* I am glad Steve Corell is on TV
*I am glad that my pants were long enough for me to wear heels today
*I am glad that my mom is an educator & I can call and whine to her
*I am glad that no matter how awful my day is, I can come home to my husband & our "kids" and they make me happy
*I am glad I have time for a nap this afternoon

hm, i have been a little down, so this is gonna be great for me, too. i think it's helpful to focus on what is going right instead of solely on what's wrong. maybe i will work on the "gratitude journal" as well--that's a cool idea.
1. i am glad that i have a job, which, although it is not particularly challenging or useful of my college degree, pays me well enough to live comfortably and travel and do some shopping.
2. i am glad that i have been at my job for almost three years and feel like a valued employee who has proven herself already.
3. i am glad that i am healthy and that my family is healthy.
4. i am glad that i have two wonderful parents who are supportive and loving, and two super-cool brothers who are my best buddies and i know i could turn to in a time of crisis.
5. i am glad that, while i don't currently have a boyfriend and i would like one, at least i am not in a relationship that is hurtful to me and saps my energy and self-esteem.
6. i am glad i got myself out of bed to go to physical therapy this morning so that i can get my back feeling better, even though i was tempted to cancel.
7. i am glad that it is starting to look like fall and we actually got a thunderstorm today!
8. this is a silly one: i am glad that the new fall tv season includes so many scripted shows with actual plots and characters! i am not a reality-show fan at all, so i am so happy that my type of shows are regaining their popularity!
9. i am glad that i get to leave work in about 7 minutes!
i'm glad that i had my last kaplan class tonight and i can finally reclaim my tues & thurs. (sort of)
i'm glad that after months of chasing this lady down i finally got my volunteer stuff squared away and am going to lead my first project on thursday (though i'm scared sh*tless b/c the project starts b/f i complete training, so my fingers are crossed that it goes well.)
i'm glad my mom is moving back to the northeast. b/c i miss her and now get to see her more than just on holidays (and can save money on plane tickets). plus i now have a place to stay when i want to go to boston, and i heart boston.
i'm glad that my family and loved ones are healthy.
i'm glad that i finally registered to take the gmat -- it just brings me one step closer to my goal of going back to school.
i'm glad that i finally mustered up the courage to tell my boss and ask for a rec.
i'm glad that i talked to my dad today and he told me he got me a bday present which was totally unexpected. my family isn't big on gift giving and he just gave me a ton of money to help me with the whole school thing -- it's so expensive. plus he told me he got me jewelry and he always gets the coolest stuff for me, which i could never afford on my own.
i'm glad that tomorrow is wednesday which means the week is almost over!
