Today I am grateful for all of the life lessons I have learned up to this point in my life. Even if  I had to learn the hard way, even if it caused a lot of tears, stress and loss of friendships, I am grateful for all of my experiences, good and bad.  It has, and will continue to make me  a better person in this world.  :)

Even thought it’s Monday, I have to appreciate that:

– I have a job to wake up to.

– a reliable car to get me to work.

– Freshly brewed coffee as I get to work.

– Amazing colleagues that make me forget I am at work.

– The nicotine patch…AHHH (Day 18) I can do this! I’ll save all of my bad habits for when I’m old and naturally wrinkled. Ill start smoking again in 60 years…and drinking tequila like I have nowhere to go the next day.
