Gratitude:
1. My parents, and the wonderful Christmas holidays they host
2. My brother for being himself
3. My aunt for her generosity and listening skills
4. My husband for all that he is and had given me
5. Myself for being saner about body nurturing than I've been since childhood. Weight gain over holidays hasn't gotten me down. I know it's not as dramatic as the scale says, probably b/c the last time the # dipped was so dramatic, too--I know it's actually a happy medium. My clothes are only a little bit tighter, and they'll fit better after this month of moderation. :)
BONUS: Getting to do what I love, for pay, for the next couple of months.

1. Kind & generous responses from 2 strangers to my fundraising email
2. Unexpected plug for my project on alumni website
3. Husband and friend listening to my long, rambling reaction to LES MIZ movie
4. Delicious risotto served at Eclectic restaurant
5. Employment!
6. Client paid 3 of my invoices at once yesterday! SO needed yet unexpected!
7. Scale says I dropped 7 lbs in one week, so I'm below my goal, which is ridiculous--but I'll take the temporary insanity of the scale for now. :) I know I didn't really gain the 4 lbs it said I did over the Thanksgiving weekend, so I didn't truly lose 7 lbs, but everything fits well now or is a little bit loose, which is wonderful.
8. Kind, supportive messages from people who read my essay
9. Parents' support through the years
10. Friends putting up with my prickliness
