Today I'm Grateful For..
Last year I kept a diary everyday of the year. At the end of each entry, I would write down one thing I was grateful for that day. Looking back at it makes me appreciate a lot of things that I often forget about.
So, today I am grateful for my guinea pig Toffee - who unfortunately passed away yesterday aged 6. I got to spend an amazing 5 and a half years together with her. Thanks, Tof!
So, what are you grateful for today?
That I won't have any important work/tests/SACs on Wednesdays, and tomorrow is a wednesday!
I'm grateful that I had a psychologist appointment today (and that it was a really productive session). It was really perfect timing for me.
I'm grateful to my sister for making me chicken noodle soup, was the perfect thing to have when I was feeling unwell.
I'm grateful for the awesome lavender heat pack that I borrowed from mum for my stomach cramps today. It had the dual purpose of helping me to feel calmer and easing the cramps. Win! 🙂
I'm grateful that I got some nice replies from my mentees letting me know that the mentoring really helped them yesterday. It's so nice to hear that they got something out of it 🙂
Today I'm grateful for positive encouragement, positive feedback and advice about our performance.
Today I'm grateful for myself allowing me to relax and let loose and laugh and have a bit of fun.
Today I'm grateful for:
- the amazing multicultural society that we live in (& the delicious foods we get to eat as a result!)
- my lovely mum who sent me an email updating me on my kitten, who she's looking after while I'm living in Melbourne for uni
- having made some friends in Melbourne
- being part of the amazing organisation that is The Inspire Foundation
- clean sheets
- Mum driving me to the disaster that was lunch!
- Having someone stay to make sure I got home safely
- Water
- Emails
- Teachers who answer my questions!
Today I am grateful for:
1) Having a drive out to pick up my guinea pig from the vets and getting stuck in traffic (it was relaxing to have Taylor Swift blasting through the stereo)
2) Had a chat with my former biology lecturer. I am so glad she took the step to keep in contact with me
3) My dog (she let me brush her teeth today)
4) My baby sister (she was patient enough to listen to my maths teaching)
1) I spent a good few hours today sifting through op-shops and had some awesome finds.
2) Spent tonight playing pool and having laid back drinks with friends.
3) My housemate has gone away for the Easter weekend, but left me some chocolate goodies and a cute card 🙂
i went to a conference type thing today and the best quote i've heard in a while really struck me.
young people aren't the leaders of tomorrow.
they're the leaders of TODAY.
Tonight I am grateful towards a Kids Helpline counsellor. He sat through my tearful babbles and helped me see things in a different light. Most of all, I am grateful for the reassurances he gave me. Thank you KHL!
I'm grateful that my mother doesn't have completely different taste in clothes, so we agree on what she's buying me.
I'm grateful for everything about this gorgeous dress I just brought.
Today I'm grateful for my amazing friends who love me enough to respect my choices even though they disagree with me.
I'm grateful for the fact that I downloaded an app with nature sounds to help with relaxation. It's been a life-saver over the past week or so.
I'm also grateful for the fact that my mum knows how to cheer me up when I'm really down - she's been sending me adorable pictures of baby animals. 😄
I'm grateful for my amazing parents who will offer to drive 20 minutes to 30 minutes out of their way to help a friend, and to my dad who can make me smile on the darkest days.
I'm grateful for the people I seem to have surrounded myself with in my new home. They're pretty great.
I'm grateful for the way my mentor praised my recent news of my Science mark - She gets just as excited as I do - if more! About good marks and improvements. It's hilarious 🙂

Pencils, which provide me with entertainment
Today I'm grateful for days where it doesn't rain while I'm walking home from school. (I like the rain, just not walking in it!)
I'm also grateful for free periods 😛
Today I'm grateful for my friend who lets me rant about all the things that are annoying me without complaining about my complaining.
I'm grateful for the wonderful people I've somehow managed to surround myself with, and the disability liason lady at uni who is on the ball & made me some emergency appointments.
