Seven on Sunday

Another meme. Just because. This is one that you're supposed to do every Sunday. Same questions every week. It's to help you pause and reflect on the important stuff. Had I known I was going to do this today maybe I would have went out more, or paid better attention. Anyway, here goes.

Seven things you're grateful for:
1. my fantastic family
2. my wonderful workplace
3. my natural knack for words
4. my harmonious health
5. my amazing apartment
6. my fabulous friends
7. life so far

Seven meaningful events from the past week:
1. mighty monday is always meaningful
2. immediately recognizing my phobias as being nothing but when they kicked in full-force this week
3. having the ability to talk sense to myself to push past the phobias despite major discomfort
4. having the ability to hang onto my positive attitude in the face of many little challenges that would normally rattle my cage big time
Hmm, it would seem that it's difficult to have meaningful events when you stay in all week feeling a bit sickly and anti-social. Maybe more will come to me later.

1. a third and possibly fourth date this week
2. a mighty tuesday complete with cake and smoothies
