Gratefullness

Today at work a few of my coworkers brought me food. It was a pleasant surprise and while it usually is the type of thing that turns into teasing today I was insanely thankful which lead to joy. I was not very joyful this weekend as I discovered a girl I am interested in is seeing someone. I did not think it was big deal but I am pretty down about it which tells me I had a bigger crush on her than I originally thought (Everyone reading this must be laughing at this point as all they see is a man out of touch with his emotions...what is new? I am just like every other man!).

I did realize one way to deal with the girl Like dating another guy is to focus on things I am grateful for like the following:

- Having only one gray chest hair
- Free food
- Cost of living has not risen much
- Roasted Turkey
- Hard wood floors
- Favored frozen yogurt
- Winning at Fantasy football
- IRS refunds

The more I think about these things I feel so much better (I also realize I need to adjust my list as it makes me look really shallow...which is depressing. I am just now figuring out the relations between gratefulness & how my attitude or outlook is related). I need to practice this grateful bit more often!

And if this gratefulness deal does not work out then there is always ice cream. Eating ice cream always makes you feel better and makes many problems seem smaller (Not only I am shallow but I have an eating disorder! I better stop writing as this blog post just makes me realize how unbalanced I am & how many faults I have).
