The Friday evening before my birthday on Sunday...the weather has turned again...just sitting here thinking about all the things I have to be thankful for despite the imperfections of the body, weight, skin or anything else which I can think about. So here I go...I need to practice the "attitude of gratitude"...a surprise birthday dinner with my sister, laughter, a good car, chanel perfume and lotion, a beautiful apartment, television, good wine, birthday cards from friends at work, bakery treats from Savoia (a gift from Edgar), a pound cake (a gift from Leticia), cream cheese cupcakes (a gift from Angie)...can you see how work is a very fattening place?
I am grateful for...a light spring rain, a week of vacation, more birthday cards from my students, my family, a new haircut, a manicure and pedicure, dinner plans with friends next week, hugs, birthday greetings, a comfortable bed, new sheets, vitamins, books, a new coffee pot, movies, friends...on and on it goes...never, ever complain...one goal for the fast approaching new year is to spread this wealth around to others...weight loss should come with it...I am convinced that the more I get my mind off myself, the more I let go of whatever it is which has held me in the area of weight loss...happy birthday to me and to my body and to my health and to all the new people who will soon be part of my joy and my life...
