    What am I grateful for today? There are so many things that I am grateful for on a daily basis that it is hard to narrow it down to three things every day. And then I find myself listing the things I am most grateful for repeatedly so I am trying not to do that. Last night a friend of mine's baby touched the glass on the fireplace: this marked two events for the family. The first event was the baby's first hospital visit (2nd degree burn on his palm), and the second... the baby crawled for the first time. So my first thing I'm grateful for today: I don't have a fireplace.
    Recently, My non-profit partnered with another non-profit and we are putting on a concert. This concert benefits homeless veterans. Without volunteers and bands playing for free, I wouldn't be able to put these concerts on for charity. So the second thing I'm grateful for today: People with big hearts who volunteer and play for a good cause.
    And the last thing I'm grateful for: Disturbed. When the Universe sent out the message to the members of this band, and brought them together, it was the most wonderful day in music. Disturbed has made music for so much of my life that I can honestly say without a doubt that their music helped me through A physically abusive ex-husband, a mentally abusive and neglectful ex-husband, two divorces, a homeless period in my life, anger management classes, losing four children, and finding the greatest man I have ever met (alongside my papa of course). Disturbed's music calls to me, speaks to me, and my soul is forever grateful for that. 
    Summary:
    I am grateful for
    1. No fireplace
    2. Volunteers and Bands who play my shows for free
    3. Disturbed (the band)

    What am I grateful for today? 
    1. People who know it's about helping others, not putting money in my pocket.
    2. People who treat others with respect and kindness.
    3. People who don't whine about time slots.

    Three things I am grateful for today: 
    1. Blood - Without it our bodies would die and I enjoy living.
    2. Rain - Rain brings me a bit of joy every time I smell it or see it; warm or cold.
    3. Disney - I have a feeling that without Disney, my childhood would have been too dark to cope with and I would be in a completely different space than I am today.
    So thank you to the Universe for all three of these truly wonderful things.

    I am very excited about this challenge this year with Health and Food. This will get me back on track for the diet my doctor wants me on. I have strayed for a while now and I feel it weighing me down. Back to a healthy diet and living.
