Grateful Friday!!

This photo was too cute, I couldn't resist!! I'm feeling a bit tired myself. I had my first big function at work last night and even though it was an early one and I was working not drinking, I was still a bit fuzzy around the edges today. It was only the preview party as well - the art auction is on Saturday night. I am carrying art on and off the stage for the actual live auction, so a bit nervous about that. Except that it means I don' t have to get a dress! I will be all in black and that I can manage quite easily. It's so nice to be around people - I'd forgotten how good that feels. How much energy I get from it.

This week I'm grateful for:

• my R - came home last night to dinner waiting for me and he was taping Grey's Anatomy (which I had completely forgotten!) how sweet is he?!!
• my job
• the amazing weather continuing
• my new jeans (first pair I've bought in over 5 years!)
• getting mail today
• my sister being ok, her husband's away in Taiwan for 2 months
• pumpkin loaf from Starbucks
• finding good organic coffee on Granville island that isn't Starbucks!
• the fall colours
• the Pumpkin regatta this weekend back at home (my parents live across the street from the Pumpkin King, Howie Dill...a story to share later!!)
• the weekend being here
• going out tonight with our friends we haven't seen in weeks
• good emails from friends
• not living in Buffalo or Southern Ontario (it snowed 60 cms!!)
• Madeleine Peyroux's new album, Half the Perfect World
• new music on my iPod
• comfortable shoes
• cold nights
• the sound of children's laughter
• R's parents getting home safely and saying how much fun they had with us
• being invited to my brother's for Christmas this year - so hope we can go!
• new art supplies
• getting to see some amazing art work at the auction
• I'm not in special events - they work so hard!!!!
  What are you grateful for?!
