I'm infinitely grateful to R for being so understanding of our living situation and taking my brother in.

It means even more that he has his firm boundaries and he's never shied away from laying down the law. It's a bit of a gift given, when a man can be firm about his expectations and desires. Sometimes you pay a bit of upfront hurt if they express something isn't proper. But what you gain is long term confidence when they say 'all is well' that you can truly believe it.

This is been wordlessly difficult dealing with being simultaneously supportive, and also establishing our boundaries as a couple - as I told my brother "the last thing we need to do in terms of supporting you is cause problems with R and I, that comes first and it will be the foundation of this household and your support."

Everyone has been cooperative but damn if this isn't something I expected from my week.

I am grateful that my SO works so hard. His dedication to his work is inspiring. He never does anything half assed and it pushes me to be the best I can be.

I'm grateful my SO keeps a cool head when I cannot and helps me outta my crazy too. He knows exactly what to say or get me to do in order to stop the cycle. lol

I am grateful for myfitnesspal. It has really helped me keep my eating in check. I tend to go off script without tracking stuff.

I'm grateful for my sponsor. She is always easy to talk to when I need some help getting out of my hamster mode.

I missed Gratituesday yesterday as we were watching the baseball game when it was posted and I try to stay off my phone during that (save for the occasional tweet), so I will post today. :)

I am grateful that my SO is so understanding and patient with me in everything, but especially when it comes to communicating my feelings.
I am grateful for my SO's parents, especially his mom - she's fantastic. I am so fortunate that he has such great parents.
I am grateful for the leadership opportunity that I've been given through my career; it does feel good to flex those muscles there. I'm one of those people who can take over a failing project and whip it into something great, but I don't tend to have a lot of opportunities that in my job just due to the nature of it. I prefer that, I enjoy my autonomy and solitude. But, it feels good to take a ship that's been drifting off course for quite some time, get behind the helm, and get things back on track. And as a part of that, I am very grateful that my SO wants me to succeed at these things and provides me with his own insight and guidance. I'm also grateful for the ladies I am working with on this project and their seniority, perspective, and individual talents.

I am grateful for how thoughtful my sweet husband is. He left for Japan for a month this morning, and just as he got on the plane, he told me to check my backpack. He had filled the front pocket with mini heath bars, which happen to be my favorite. He had gotten one hour of sleep and spent all night getting ready for a fourteen hour flight and still thought of a little suprise for me. I miss him already :(

I'm thankful for Thanksgiving! This is my first year with a house, and I keep inviting people from all sides of the family, and they keep saying yes! I'm just so glad to have a holiday that still focuses on family to this extent.

I'm grateful for Ikea. Seriously. If shopped right, your home can look seriously chic, for actually very cheap. My house is becoming a home, and I'm hoping to have a million projects completed when husband comes home, so he can just relax and not have to jump into to-do mode.

I'm grateful that Occam always passes along interesting articles and videos to me during the day, and that he will indulge my sweet tooth from time to time.

I'm thankful that the weather has cooled down and we've been getting quite a bit of rain. I love that I get to bust out my winter coat.

I appreciate having friends that indulge my love for snail-mail, and exchange letters with me -- even though email would be faster.

I am grateful for the life that I live with my SO- to be young, healthy, in love and making so many memories together. If I weren't living it, I wouldn't think it was possible.

I am grateful for this upcoming trip we are taking to get away from the cold. I cannot wait for Vietnamese food and nature to blow me away. I am grateful that I have fresh business leads so I may not have to shut it down completely during the trip.

I am grateful that SO has such similar life ideologies as I do, though we come from such different backgrounds. I am vastly grateful that he takes the time to reassure me that we are on the right track.

I'm grateful for the wisdom of my father. My family is going through a number of crazy transitions and changes right now, and he is doing an incredible job keeping calm and keeping us together. His patience and perspective is so valuable.

I'm grateful for the fact that I can easily find resources on the internet to help with a frustrating muscle ache - and the resources are helping!

I'm grateful for my SO's unflappable nature. The aforementioned family changes are paired with some frustrating dynamics among some of my friends, and he is taking it all in stride. He's being so supportive and patient and offering a lot of calm and comfort... before making me laugh and smile and feel loads better about all of it.

I'm grateful that my husband is such a hands-on type of person and a quick learner. He manages to do so much around the house and the car despite having little to no prior experience, and both my parents and his parents (as well as me) are really impressed by his abilities.
I'm grateful to my cousin for the great advice she gave me about a medical condition we both share.
I am grateful for my cats. Even if sometimes they do silly stuff and wake us up way too early, they manage to remind us to slow down and not freak out over inconsequential stuff. Aaaand they are fluffy (gotta love them winter undercoats).

1.) I'm grateful that J is so encouraging when it comes to my artistic and spiritual pursuits. I've been working hard on a blog revolving around my spirituality and he has been so excited about it alongside me.

2.) I'm thankful that I spent so much of my youth working on my talents, so in times of need, I can throw together some crafts to sell on Etsy, or do some extra baking, etc. If I'd spent my time just hanging out with friends, talking on the phone, I doubt I'd be in this position.

3.) This week I'm especially grateful that our roommate is officially out on Saturday! I've already started a list of cute nightwear (difficult to find any cute for my body) and I can't wait for it to finally just be me and J!
