October, 2010.
This was a long month. It was a month I was able to travel to San Diego for the Miramar Air Show with Glenn, his mom, and her husband. I was able to see my friend April while in town, and performed surgery on my car after running over tire tread in the dead of night on my way there. The next weekend I went to Connecticut to visit Glenn, see the fall leaves turning colors of vivid orange, red, and yellow. It was a relaxing weekend of time with his family, walking Maxwell, and being together. And then, it went down hill from there.
Between travel, working Monday through Friday, working on-call on Saturdays, working at Neiman Marcus for 2 short shifts, kids, friends, misunderstandings, miscommunication, not feeling well, going to 2 concerts, and just life in general I feel as if this one month has been filled with enough for 6. So, to remind myself of what I really enjoyed in the month end wrap up, I have decided to list them, with a reason for my gratitude, and to always remember how blessed I am, even when things seem the dimmest.
In just trying to find those moments I am grateful for, I am reminded of all I have in my life that is good. I am reminded to never take for granted anything or anyone. I have so much to be thankful for, and so blessed in so many ways.
Oct. Week 1: I am grateful for being able to see April and catch up. We hadn't seen each other in God only knows how long, and I appreciated her letting me over in the middle of her house, only to leave almost at day break.
I am grateful for time spent with Glenn and his mom, her husband. From just relaxing at the pool, to sharing sushi, to the air show, it was a great weekend
Oct. Week 2: I am grateful for being able to see Glenn so quickly after the San Diego trip. While the leaves hadn't changed as much as I expected, we still were able to enjoy the crunching of fall leaves on our walks with Maxwell. I was thankful that we were able to enjoy our time just relaxing and not doing much other than spending time together. And while it was sad to leave each other at the airport, it was much easier seeing him walk into the hall onto his plane than to wave from a security gate. I am thankful the kids were able to have a week off, enjoying their time away from school. I feel blessed to have been able to see my friend Scottie realize a dream of having a record label, and to see where he is making this dream a reality.
Oct. Week 3: Okay, so here is where things get a little more hard-pressed for gratitude. This was an emotionally draining week. I am thankful to have spent a night with old friends at my house for dinner. I am thankful that misunderstandings were at least talked about between a friend and myself. I am thankful for family and friends who helped me through a very difficult time in this week with some issues that sprung forth
Oct. Week 4: If I thought week 3 was rough,week 4 was even harder. Week 4 brought misunderstandings of a sort with a person I do not want to lose. I am thankful to have been able to see old friends at Neimans, catch up while working there. I am thankful to have salvaged another friendship that was important to me. I am thankful I was able to see my kids receive awards at their school assembly.
