I'm standing in line at the grocery and adjusting a small error on my receipt from the day before. The guy behind me asks, "Do they not take card? If they don't no worries, I will cover for you." And I am thinking wow, I don't even know this guy and he is so generously offering a safety net when I am not even jumping out of a helicopter . So astonished, my thoughts converge to think of how taken care of I am. I earnestly wish him a good evening, after all those were some unexpected good feelings. My take away is to invest good into the world because every now and then the world invests good in you and when you feel it, it feels amazing.
Gratitude
For getting on work on time and groomed this morning despite all odds.
For the new umbrella that keeps me dry. Shout out TJMaxx

Learning to make the most of the situation I am in but having people to keep reminding me to aim higher and refuse to get to comfortable.

My parent's encouragement, because that is our most valuable gift to each other.
For all the meals that I have recently received for free. I am surrounded by big hearted people committed to keeping me fed. May I also return the favors in full.
For all moments of feeling happy. They are all not regrettable.
For having my back against my new bed in my still new to me room.

For being headstrong in making the future count.
In being un afraid to ask for what I want in order to make it happen.
For choosing myself as a friend, comrade, and sidekick to all sides of me. That I work with myself and not against myself.
It was seasonal. But let's face it, we made that season last a looong time on Jon's rooftop. And 100 percent of dancing under fireworks, raindrops, and competing with the parties next door were worth it. We won. Every time. Thank you Jon. Thank you all. Thank you New York.
Jesus replied, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”
Sometimes it's nice to stay home with some good eye cream and make good feelings.
''Oh, that I you would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory. That your hand may be with me and keep me from all evil, so that I may cause no pain. ''
I keep thinking over and over again how fortunate I am to have found them. ---How blessed I am. Remember these feelings.
Congratulations on your beautiful new home ladies! And happy birthday to you Stephen! All of you enjoy all the good, not so good, and breathtaking things ahead. I can't wait to hear your stories.
