This was a mini rant woopdeedoo 10-31-11, 04:07 AM Tonight I am grateful for: - Letting go of my perceived shortcomings and spending the day as if I didn't have them. - My heath that I do have and enjoy. - Learning; growing. It's painful process at times.. but the more I come to know myself and the world around me, the freer I feel, and my capacity to feel gratitude for what I do have increases tenfold. - Having a fresh start every morning to try to better myself. - The opportunity to have chatted with Peripatetic on a few occasions since Shane's passing. Her strength astonishes me, and the depth and capacity of love she has for him, and indeed that he reciprocates, gives me hope. - The opportunity to have had the chance to talk with and exchange countless emails with impromptu_dtour. He taught me a lot, he woke me up from a deep sleep, and he breathed life into me with his intelligence, kindness, and the *best* sense-of-humor. - Oscar: The little dog that could. He is the love of my life. We're so in tune it's uncanny! We were definitely made from the same dough.. or stardust.. or whatever science says. - Long walks without the intent to exercise but to process, clear my head and *breathe*. - A good night's sleep. 3xface 10-31-11, 10:29 AM For living in a time where I can see how complex life is much more clearly than previous generations, while being aware of how little we actually know in the grand scheme. Even the things we are sure of today will be old news, when theory and contemplation of today become the sure thing of the future. When unpredictable circumstances alter our realities in ways we can only hypothesize or imagine upon a whim, now. This is the cycle of past, present and future - live, learn and adapt. Thankful today that I live in a time where I was able to realize life thrives on balance, a common sense type of concept that is harder to achieve than they let you think :P.

It was a picture of me and her smiling, with a note on the back saying; Have a nice day! Hugs from your aunty. The reason I'm so grateful for this is because I and my cousin, her son, had a fight on Facebook and will never talk to eachother again. He blocked me and told me never to contact him again. The reason for that was a comment he wrote about Africans that I think was rasist. It really hurted me that he could write a comment like that, so I made a visulised picture of what he wrote by using someone he knows and he freaked out on me. My husband is Nigerian, so my kids are mixed. It's not the first time he has writen a comment that's been close to the edge, so I don't think it is a bad thing that my family woun't have any contact with him in the future.

Even really really resentful rice krispie squares are yummy!! I was in Wal-Mart yesterday and the woman in front of me had a HUGE flat bar of Rice Krispie treats sheets. The package was a giant Rice Krispie Treat (12" x 15") that you could use whole or cut out shapes. Kinda pricy, but I'd pay extra for the convenience of not having marshmallow and puffed rice stuck to me. :D I am grateful for internet shopping. I can order my favorite German made products now!

Kinda pricy, but I'd pay extra for the convenience of not having marshmallow and puffed rice stuck to me. :D I am grateful for internet shopping. I can order my favorite German made products now! I actually find rice krispie squares pretty okay to make, as long as you don't over-cook the marshmallow part. Much less messy than many of the other things I bake. I guess for me, it's not the baking that I mind, it's the cleaning up afterwards... How many muffin tins have I sacrificed to rust because I didn't clean them quick enough? My problem is that in general I strongly dislike and can't really afford pre-prepared foods, but I can't seem to cook for myself or clean up after my cooking... As for the German treats, which are your favorites? My father's family is German, and every Christmas we would make those crescent-shaped nut cookies, OMG those are my favorites!!

People that do that really pi** me off. (and I notice I tend to do it occasionally, too) If you can only feel good or get satisfaction when you know you're hurting someone else, that good feeling is guaranteed not to last very long. Everyone is struggling with something and is trying to manage the best they can. Lighten up and be kind on purpose. Ocyan 12-08-11, 01:29 PM At last I've started socialising with those of my age.
