Day 64: First and Ten

Okay, so I fail at gratitude the past few days. Sure I've been listing it up, but it's been mostly preceded by moping or bitching. So I'm making it a goal to be more positive during the day and not just when I make my lists.

Today was the perfect day to restart full days of gratitude. It was a perfect day in very simple ways. Instead of leaving Sophie and I behind to head to Texas, they postponed and stuck around. So we turned on some college football and cheered for our teams while my mom and I made homemade tortilla soup, which is one of my favorite meals. Now I'm back from a walk with Sophie and watching my Razorbacks take on UGA.

I didn't get a lot done today, but it's what I needed emotionally. I didn't know it was what I needed until I got it though.

Today, I am grateful for:

• UW and Notre Dame winning their games!
• USC losing their game. (Is it bad karma to be grateful for a team losing? It's USC though...)
• getting to hear/see my mom call my father anti-Catholic for cheering against Notre Dame. Funniest moment of the day.
• making soup with my mom.
• waking up to find skateboarding on television.
