I am at my happiest and most authentic when I'm consistently and openly counting my blessings. It's a practice that I really worked to cultivate years ago, and one that I blogged about pretty regularly. Although the formal practice has waxed and waned over time, I always come back around to it when I am trying to shift into a more positive, motivated, mindful place. Which is exactly what I am doing now. So, here we go...
Tonight, I'm grateful for:
*My family and friends, who are always willing to listen and to help me out when I need it. This single, working, trying-to-have-a-life parent thing would not work as well as it does without them behind the scenes.
*Afterschool care that keeps Riley active, engaged and learning.
*Upcoming travel plans. We have a Spring Break trip coming up in a few weeks, and I'm planning an end-of-school-year Surprise vacation for the Girl. (Shhhhh....) It's nice to have something to anticipate.
* Reruns of "The Office" and Pinterest Humor Boards. As silly (lame, pathetic, whatever) as it sounds, these two things have saved my sanity the past few weeks. Whenever things get to be just too much, a little humor break brings me back to calm.

Pinterest humor boards...why didn't I think of that? My life needs some if that. :-)
