Gratitude Challenge: The Final Week!

Well I made it! 21 days, 10 things to be thankful for each day. No, I didn't do the days all in a row. But I did do it for a total of 21 days! Check out my friend's blog, if you want more info. She's the one who started this whole challenge thing. :)


Saturday, Oct 29th

• Granny Smith apples.
• Time alone. 
• The Two Towers
• Dear friends.
• Cold autumn air and warm cozy blankets.
• That I can go to dance this week!!
• Humor and sarcasm. It really does make me happy.
• INTERNET! Absence makes the heart grow fonder, after all.
• Home-made super easy delicious hot chocolate.
• Watching vloggers on youtube. 

[This was right after our Texas vacation. Hence the absence from internet and dance class.]

Sunday, Oct 30th

• Being able to go to church after missing two weeks.
• That our church is so amazing that I actually miss it when we're gone.
• Converse.
• A soccer pick-up game with a bunch of friends
• Hot apple cider. 
• Reading.
• Watching more youtube vids.
• Being able to chill and be lazy. 
• That we have our doggy back. She spent two weeks with some of our friends, and we missed her lots. 
• Blogging again. 

Monday, Oct 31

• Being able to get up early and not die.
• Getting tons of school done.
• Art. 
• Heath candy bars.
• Gettin' my nails did. OK, so I actually did them myself. But still.
• Emails from friendies. 
• GOING BACK TO DANCE! Sheesh. I've missed it. :D
• Getting hugs and having people tell me they've missed me. <3
• Being able to wear crazy crazy tights to dance, cuz costumes where allowed this week. I didn't have an actual costume, but my tights were awesome. Bold black and red stripes, baby! Oh, yeaaah. 
• Watching a movie with the family in the dark. Even if the movie was a bit of a dud, it was still fun. :)

Thursday, Nov 1st

• Being able to get up early.
• Coffee. I have liked having a small cup now and then since I was like 5 ... my grandma started me out young. :) But I recently discovered what a pleasant way it is to wake up. You drink warm coziness, and then all of a sudden you're wide awake! None of that rude awakening stuff for me, dude.
• Getting lots of school done. Feels good! Woot!
• Getting tons of good ideas for a writing project. Can't wait to see how it turns out!
• Finding super funky cloth for a sewing class project. One of the patterns I picked was a cow print. :) Why? Cuz it's awesome. Duh. 
•  Getting together with a bunch of people, turning up the music and cleaning our church. It was more of a party than a chore.
• Learning new dances with some of our friends. They're hosting a ball soon, and we went out to learn the new dances. They're "old fashioned" dances, where you switch partners and go under arches and stuff like that. And. It's. Awesome. 
• Guys who actually enjoy dancing, and don't think it's sissy (cuz it's not). YES. 
• That God has a sense of humor. 
• Being able to make an epic wish at 11:11 p.m. on 1/11/11. But I need to think of an even more epic wish for 11:11 on 11/11/11. Just a few days to go!!

It was a great day. :)

Wednesday, Nov 2nd

• Being able to get up early, yet again. (Being able, as in not dying of tiredness.)
• Getting most of my school done, yet again. Oh, yeaaah.
• Having a friend to chat with when I needed a break.
• Going to my dance studio. Have I mentioned how I missed it??
• Having another person tell me they're glad I'm back. *warm fuzzies*
• Tap. I still stand around scratching my proverbial head most of the time, but hey. I still love it, and you can't stop me!
• That Dad said I could look into getting texting. Not *quite* there yet, but I have permission to check out prices and stuffs!
• Hot apple cider. Again. Hey, I like the stuff, OK?
• The Biggest Loser. I don't know why, but I really enjoy watching that show! 
• Bed. For once in my life, I wanted to go to bed. *TIRED!*

Thursday, Oct 3rd

• Sleeping in, first time this week. YES.
• Isaiah 30: 21 Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way; walk in it."
• Not having sewing class today after all. I love sewing class, like a lot. But I was glad to have one less thing to do today.
• Sunshine. And semi-warmth. In November! 
• Seeing my cousin and aunt, even though it was only for a few minutes.
• A mostly clean house.
