I am grateful:
1) that I got to experience being around a group of people I didn't know and feeling comfortable and enjoying myself.
2) that I can always trust certain friends to take things to the next level :D
3) to feel acknowledged and accepted by L's friends.
4) that L cares enough to ask important questions and to listen to the answers.
5) that I have made noticeable progress in the past 3 months.
6) that I had a really good therapy session today.
7) for all the opportunities I am getting to learn and grow, and the supportive environment to grow in.
8) for pats on the back.
9) for friends who show up when they say they will, and who let me know when they won't. Also, for friends who take care of themselves.
10) for my car, but also grateful that I have the resources to replace it.
11) that the concert was wonderful, and well received.
12) for Shakti Rising.
13) for my boss and my supervisor.
14) that I don't have to pay for storage, and that my relationship with my ex is good.
15) for my spirituality, and the awareness I am privileged to have of my path.
16) for appropriate boundaries with my coworkers.
17) that I got to sleep in Saturday morning!
18) for J's company on the phone as I drove home (so I didn't fall asleep).
19) for the cafeteria at work, and the girls at Shakti.
20) for spontaneity, and the willingness to reach out.
21) for Cliff, and back adjustments.
22) for surprise gifts from faraway friends.
23) for new friends and mutual attraction.
24) for L's needs getting met.
Friday
Off to work; heard back about car stuff and the news was not good. My family of origin is willing to help, and I decided to accept it, but it means that I have to let them see exactly what my situation is, and that's scary. At least I know that they are absolutely trying to do what they think is the best thing for me. We'll see how that turns out. After work, met up with a cute girl (C), and we had a lovely evening. We got our nails done (a bit of a stretch for me), then went to dinner and borders. Evening ended with some nice pets and conversation near her house. I know that others are also enjoying her company, and I'm grateful that she is interested in sharing time with me as well.
Saturday
Up relatively early with a call from J; we left my house at 9am to head to LA. A couple stops to get his power cord, and then we grabbed some lunch at Eggs Etc (I guess it was in Long Beach). Yummy, but slightly slow service. Then it was off to the 99 cent store for supplies. We got up to L's house around 2pm, and I walked around the soccer fields as he worked on his presentation. Lots of memories of playing as a youngster and speculation as to what kind of teams they were (I believe it was an AYSO tournament with select and club teams). Then over to L's house, and helping a very little bit with the presentation. I wish he had let me help more.
And we were off for dinner, presentation and the party. Getting there sucked-- another wonderful experience of LA Saturday night traffic. Once we were there, it was a wonderful experience. J's presentation went really well, with the lovely K assisting. I was glad to help as I could, sadly not too much. I got to meet the oft-mentioned M. After, I got to give the other K her birthday gift, which she seemed to enjoy. Then there was the party, which was wonderful. I'm so glad I could come up this weekend.
