Week 17 - ending 4/29: Gratitude

This week is simple. I have decided to make a list of 17 things I am grateful for. I decided on this week since it is the last week of the month and the 17th week. My numbers have always been 11, 14 and 17 for sports or otherwise, so it seemed fitting.

17 things I am grateful for:

1. The sunrise and the sunset

2. When I wake up, looking at the clock to realize I still have a few more hours of sleep before I have to get up

3. Mayor Meowington, the friendly cat that patrols our neighborhood and always wants pets and gives love

4. The combination of coffee and chocolate

5. Making peace with my past

6. Those amazing one liners in songs. Certain songs just have one or two lines that are incredible. Being able to hear and appreciate them makes me happy

7. Surfing, anytime anyplace

8. The ocean, but especially on glassy days

9. The tradewind weather that brings the rains to water my plants at night for me

10. Many many people in my life now and that I have known before and perhaps some I have yet to meet

11. The unbelievable pain that he caused me and who I have become as a result. The fact that, while I am grateful, I never have to tell him thank you.

12. Helpful co-workers

13. Smiles and laughter

14. This moment

15. Seeing upcoming trips booked in my airline app

16. Detangling leave-in conditioner

17. Genuine and happy people
