Thanksgiving and other ramblings....

Ok after (yet another fantabulous) Weekend in California meeting famous people :)... Things seemed to creep a little on the up and up for me.  Well, in truth, I think I just changed my attitude a bit. I realized we all have moments that we cherish and that make us happy and moments where life is a suckfest.  So, realizing that I cannot really change every part of my life, I decided I can change ME.. and how I see what I do...

I then took a day off and went to Denver for Thanksgiving to see my friends.  Thanksgiving day was great.. Saw some good friends and ofcourse ate way too much.  The rest of the weekend was pretty relaxed, I went to see "Shrek, the Musical" - It was nice.  Shopping, eating, chatting, eating, walking, eating - you get the point... 

Work has been so hectic.. Since I stepped off the plane and literally straight into the office of Job number 1, I was so busy, my head is still spinning. I got home around 6:30pm yesterday and then started job number 2.  Its just been manic.  But at the end of the day - I am grateful to have them both and work hard and feel accomplished hey.

So.. since meaning and matter havent yet found their way to the marriage altar of my life.. here I am again with my ponderings. I find it mildly funny that I am in this place.. when I look back at the amazing, fulfilling, utterly adventurous life that I have had till now.. I should be ashamed to even complain.

I guess it is my constant capacity for awareness of my own soul and not wanting one day to go by without taking stock of where I am.. that I sometimes get into these panic attacks.  But anyway, the moon is gone, the universe has aligned and once again.. peace. Ha ha ha.. I know, I exhaust myself just being me sometimes!

I just want to keep my heart open to the gifts of life.  I also want to be real and true.. when something sucks, it sucks!  I want to live an extraordinary life.. and one that makes everything BETTER all round... :)

This year for thanksgiving I am grateful for so many things, here are some:

1. My amazing mother who never ceases to make me laugh and make my heart feel at home.
2. My good friends, who no matter the distance, continue to remember and love me.
3. My turtle :) he makes me happy
4. My spiritual mentors.. who always keep me grounded in truth and remind me of what really matters

And that is just the very very short list.. but I could sit here for an entire day.. making a list because I am ever so grateful for so many things....
