I am so grateful Michael just called me! I am so grateful I have a brother who is doing something great. I am so grateful he is learning new languages while there. I am so grateful I answered his call! I am so grateful he is ok!

I am so grateful to be awake on this gorgeous day! I am so grateful for iPhones and calling cards and the Internet and good vibrations. I am so grateful for pwny and linty being cute! I am so grateful we posted FIVE podcast episodes last night! I am so grateful I'm on top of my shit! I am so grateful for restful nights of sleep. I am so grateful that we get to run our 3 miles shortly.

I am so grateful for a fresh start on a Thursday. I am so grateful how every morning is a fresh start. I am so grateful that even though I didn't get everything done that I wanted to yesterday, I made enormous progress on my mood and vibration. Plus we got those eps posted and did the laundry and made tons of food from scratch.

I am so grateful for my moleskine. I am so grateful for my "regimen" to feel good. As long as I complete each of the items every single day, I know I can stay in control of my mood! And the list is:

1. gratitude post!
2. today's intentions post
3. pushups
4. meditate
5. run/bike/walk
6. record & post to TPP
7. an hour or so of inspired creative work

All I have to do to stay happy is do those 7 things every single day. I'm so grateful to be trying new techniques as well, like writing "wouldn't it be nice..." every hour in my notebook. I have yet to try that one out for the whole day, but I think it's a gem.

I am so grateful to have this site as a creative outlet! I am so grateful for our podcast! I am so grateful for our friends! I am so grateful to be going SLEDDING in my mind again! I am so grateful for metaphors. I am so grateful for inside jokes. I am so grateful for laughter and smiles and sleepy girlfriends.

I am so grateful for textures and heft and shapes and sizes. I am so grateful for colors and hardnesses, books and chewing gum. I am so grateful that I have to go investigate a suspicious cat noise now...
