cassidyroseI know that lately I have been mostly writing about a lot the bad stuff that is going on in my life. Anyhow, despie there being some really bad, stressful shit going on there is actually quite a bit of good for which I am very grateful. So, I guess this is kind of a gratitude list like the ones ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Here goes...
1.) The Big Moves coffee and chocolate tasting fundraiser went very well. We made a decent amount of money, the Phat Fly Girls got to perform, and lots of people showed up and had a good time.
2.) Big Moves: I am very grateful that I get to part of such a wonderful organization. I am also thrilled that I finally have the opportunity to perform more frequently, and that I get to do so with people who accept me as a good dancer, regardless of my size. I am also very excited that I get to do good work for a worthwhile organization.
3.) Escalators: While I am very good physical shape, I do have very bad knees. Walking up stairs can be very painful. I am very grateful that there are escaltors at the BART and VTA light rail stations, as they help to save me knees some distress.
4.) I am grateful that most days I can accept my body for the way it is and actually feel comfortable looking the way that I do.
5.) My awesome boss: The boss I have right now is incredible and her wonderfulness almost completely makes up for all the years I spent working for abusive, corrupt assholes. She has been incredibly understanding aboutcatzen's father, and my subsequent random hours. She has made things so, so much easier for me right now.
6.) I work for good group in a good company. I like the people I work with, and love being here, yet I don't feel trapped. I also am very happy that I get very good health insurance despite only being a part-time employee. I also generally feel good about the company I work for, which is a big change from how I felt about prior places of employment.
7.) My car: My car is comfy and runs reliably. This makes me happy.
8.) I finally have a thesis chair and will finish grad school by the year's end-- 'nuff said ;-P
9.)catzen and I have a very nice, good landlord. Having had horrible slumlords previously, we are both incredibly grateful to have a wonderful landlord now.
10.) Central heat: Our apartment stays nice and warm for relatively cheap as a result of central heat. We really appreciate this.
11.) My awesome dance teachers at my dance studio. I have been working with them for four years now and have received excellent training.
12.) WomBAT and WomBATs: Not much to say 'cept that I love WomBAT and its members. It has been a home of sorts for me for four years now. It is an incredibly unique list, and I am happy to be a part of it.
13.) The incredible women I work and dance with as part of Big Moves and the Phat Fly Girls.
14.) And, of course, all the wonderful people in my life. My family and friends give me loads of love, understanding, and support--for that I am very grateful and very happy.
