okay so i have seriously slacked on my grace in small things entries. my last one was on 2/23/09. i was planning on just jumping right back in and starting again at number 12... but then my conscious was nagging me. i'm glad i posted 11 g.i.s.t.'s, but one of the reasons i joined, (besides waging the war against embitterment) was to help my complete #66 on my 101 in 1001 list. and number 66 says that i will write at least one thing i am grateful for every day for 365 days. so if i jumped right back in, it wouldn't be fair to my list, and the list is something i am trying to work very hard on. so i decided, i've got some time... lets begin again. so here we are folks, at the starting point. welcome back to a blog that not only entertains you, but suffocates you with gratitude :)

grace number one...
1. getting an a- on my first real graduate paper!
2. having such a warm response about my paper from my classmates during my workshop critique.
3. meeting my favorite author and having her autograph her new book for me!
4. jessica f, ash muslim, christin j, cornmuffin and michaela who all had birthdays this week!
5. agendas and lists, cause its the only way i can keep my monkey mind in check.
