So I'm feeling a little "blah" these days and I'm trying to NOT get into a bitchy, dark mood and end up yelling at people for no good reason, so I've decided it's time for another "things I'm grateful for" list. In no particular order, here it goes:
1. My iPod. It may sound materialistic, but I'm glad that I have a reliable device that I can use to listen to music in the mornings when I walk to work. It just helps me stay in a happy mood to start the day :-)
2. Free newspapers. This morning someone was giving away free copies of "The Province" at the skytrain station this morning. I took one since I love doing their word puzzles. Once when I was in university, we got "The Province" free for almost a year. I don't know why, but every morning, no matter what we did, there was a copy of the paper waiting for me at the door when I left to commute to school.
3. My new, yes BRAND NEW, computer at work. It is so fast!! It is so . . . shiny!
4. Judge Judy. Strange, I know. But where else would I get phrases like "beauty fades, dumb is forever" and "don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining" from?
5. Big Brother. Hey . . . it's not a rerun! Besides, I think it's kinda cool that a 75 year old man is competing this summer.
6. My new camp chair. It's very comfy to sit on - it has an air pocket for lower back support and it only cost $13 at Superstore.
7. The new camera that I'm going to buy soon. I think I've decided on which one I'm going to get and I can't wait to start using it!
8. My friends at work. They know who they are!
9. Turning 30. Okay, so maybe I won't always feel grateful for this, but right now I feel happy about turning the big 3-0. I really and truly feel like I learned some valuable lessons in my twenties and I'm happy with where I am right now. Now I'm not saying this won't change . . . but for now I'm cool with this milestone.
10. "My Sister's Keeper" by Jodi Picoult. I've read this book before (it was wonderful and made me cry!) and now I'm listening to the audio book :-)
So my dear readers, what are you grateful for these days?

re #9 - I've decided that our thirties are going to rock. Compared to turning 20, we know who we are and (for the most part) what we want life to look like and I've got to say, that's pretty fantastic. I've decided I'll still feel this way when I actually hit my thirties in 7 motnhs :)
re #10 - Over a year later, and I'm still trying to figure out if I like this book! I just don't know!
Sounds like a happy-almost-birthday is in order - so happy almost birthday!
