Thirty Days of Thankful

HAPPY NOVEMBER!!!! I cannot believe the end of the year is so close; I can't believe the end of November is so close! Before we know it, December will be here! This month I'm doing a Thankful challenge, where I think of something I'm thankful about every day. I love this! It follows in my attempt to live life with a feeling of "Gratitude is the best attitude!" So here we are on Day 22 and I'd like to recap my gratitude for the last 21 days...

Thirty Days of Thankful

Day 1: I'm thankful for hugs on bad days!

Day 2: This last year has been hell on my health, so I'm thankful for being healthy and whole again (physically anyway lol!)

Day 3: I'm thankful for foot rubs after a long day of work!

Day 4: Today I'm thankful for a comfy place to rest my head every night!

Day 5: Today I'm thankful for my boobs! Just leaving the Save Second Base block party! So nice to spend time with friends and help raise money for breast cancer!

Day 6: I'm thankful for painkillers lol! I will leave it at that.

Day 7: I'm SO thankful for living somewhere with an endless summer! Love my flip flops, summer dresses, beach days, boat trips, sunglasses and bikinis 365 days a year!!! 


Day 8: I'm thankful for all this rain we're getting! Filling those cisterns right up!

Day 9: I'm thankful for quiet, alone time. And I'm thankful that I can enjoy it. I remember a time when I couldn't stand to be alone for more than 30 seconds. Growing up a tiny bit I think.

Day 10: I'm thankful for hugs! Not many things let you receive and give comfort at the same time...

Day 11: I'm thankful for love!

Day 12: I'm thankful for bad days, because once they're over good days seem so much more amazing!

Day 13: I'm thankful to have not only have two jobs, but I like them both and the people I work for!

Day 14: I'm thankful for politeness and manners! I'm thankful I know how to use them and I'm thankful when others do as well!

Day 15: I'm thankful for self confidence because I'm rocking a fro today! The old me wouldn't have left the house:)

Day 16: I'm thankful for learning to let go, to forgive but not forget! And I'm thankful for the experiences, good and bad, that are teaching me how to do this every day.

Day 17: I'm thankful for Karma.

Day 18: I'm thankful for music.

Day 19: I'm thankful for a car that runs on this island! No walking for me:)

Day 20: I'm thankful for the holidays! Can't wait for a few days off to do nothing at all!

Day 21: I'm thankful for my love who always cooks the most delicious meals for us!

Day 22: I'm thankful for second chances! Actually I'm thankful for 3rd and 4th chances, because I shudder to think what could have been had I not gotten a few re-dos in life!

Halloween 2011

My 1st Halloween on St John was a blast! An entertaining time was had by all! I didn't get any good pictures of us, but here are the few we did manage to capture...














Friday Mind Dump

* My therapist stood me up this morning!!! I was very stressed and upset about it but I'm trying to calm down because I don't want it to ruin my day. I know this sounds silly but how does someone just not show up? Maybe he had an emergency or something?... I called him twice and waited outside his office for 25 minutes and nothing, and I still haven't heard from him. Not happy about that!

* I've been so tired lately. I think my crazy, non-stop work schedule is really kicking my butt lately! I just keep telling myself that it'll be worth it when Sky and I are on our month long honeymoon next year...

* The weather is beautiful today!!! I wish I was spending the day on the beach instead of in the office!

* Today is 11/11/11!!! When I was younger I remember daydreaming that I might get married on this date! I made my wish at 11:11am! Did you?

* This time change is throwing me off! I keep forgetting that I'm an hour ahead of my East Coast friends and family! I'll get it right one of these days...

* Now that I'm finished watching the L word series I feel lost without those girls!!! Only 6 season?! Come on! Boo. The DVD box set is going on my Christmas list this year!!!

* I finally got my laptop back!!! Yay!!!! So look out for engagement photos, lots of blogging, and updates on our wedding website!!!!

That's all for me today! Hope everyone has a Happy Friday and a beautiful weekend!!!!
