Friday. And I'm feeling a bit uninspired but also glad the weekend is here. It's been an insane week and I have an insane weekend ahead of me. I am a stand up comic and have two shows and am also doing a talk on body acceptance on Sunday. Perhaps in between I'll get some laundry done or perhaps hang out with a friend.
Since I was so inspired from yesterday's post on thankfulness, that is what I'm doing today. I hope you don't consider it a cop-out for copying such a great idea, but it reminded me of how so often I get caught up in the craziness of of living and forget to stop and be grateful and just "be"!
I wish everyone a good weekend of gratitude, peace and love!
1. I'm grateful too that I don't have someone shaming me into losing weight. Shame on AskMen.com for such an insensitive post. In fact, just the opposite, I'm grateful that I have people in my life who love and support me unconditionally and wouldn't dream of treating me in such a disrespectful manner.
2. I'm grateful to have this blog and to be gaining a readership. I love being apart of this community and the people who are out here are smart, funny and sassy. Thank you for being there!
3. I'm grateful to my friends who are truly my family of choice. I am blessed with some incredible people in my life and I love them truly and am loved in return. What could be better?
4. I'm grateful to my family too - to my funny and silly niece Rylee, who at 5 years of age, is more wise than all of us! My nephews, Tyler and Jake who have made me a hockey fan and who never fail to make me laugh. My brother Paul who is recovering from knee surgery, and his wife Traci. My parents and my sister Karla. We're a weird bunch sometimes, but I can't imagine them not being there! (Photo above is mom, dad, brother, nephews..and the great and powerful puppy, Jasmine!)
5. I'm grateful to have some comedy to do this weekend. Sometimes it's great..sometimes it's not so great..but it's always something I have to do. It's one more way that as a fat woman, I can be out there and have a voice and be heard.
6. I'm grateful to be able to sleep late tomorrow. Oh..sweet dreams to me..and to everyone this weekend!
