i'm grateful for :
[1] gluten free pizza. since [1] pizza is my favorite food and [2] i can't have gluten, gluten free pizza just would seem logical to put on this list. GF/DF pizza is the best. i know most of you have tried my GF/DF pizza at some point in time and either hated it or secretly loved it [kim]. i haven't eaten normal pizza in about a year, and i don't really remember what it tastes like. thus, GF/DF is one of my favorite things. until i get sick of it, that is.
[2] OCD. seems like an odd thing to be grateful for, doesn't it? my ocd doesn't consist of washing my hands 400 times a day, being insanely clean, or flicking the light switch an even number of times before i go into a room. what it does include is paying extreme attention to detail, re-copying my notes/schoolwork, and remembering the random details of things that people tell me. why am i grateful for this? because it has helped me excel in my job at bvh -- i am a pro at remembering peoples names, a phenomenal filer, and am extremely efficient in the work that i do. at least that's what i get told every day.
[3] life. i was recently having a conversation with my grandpa and his friend, who are both in their 70s, about life and getting old. i said to my papa's friend, who just turned 70, "wow - 70!? you're getting old!" to which he replies "yea, but some people don't make it this far." that statement - those 9 simple words - really made me appreciate my life so much more than i have been. thinking about all of the people who have had their lives abruptly taken away from them made me realize that life is a gift that is not meant to be taken for granted - because you never know when it's going to be taken away from you.
[4] watches. i'm thankful for watches - they help tell you the time, they're a great fashion statement, and they're there to constantly remind you that work is going a lot slower than you actually think it is.
