Author Ruby Slippers Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 I'm thankful that March is off to a roaring start, with many new contacts from prospective clients, and a new contract I just got with full up front payment!! This guy seems awesome. He's been in business for 56 years, has physics, math, engineering, and MBA degrees, classic businessman, has no idea how to do what my company does, and said he was so excited about the potential before we even talked that he was rhapsodizing to his wife over breakfast about the possibilities right before I called him back I'm making it a top priority to find affordable office space, connect with a local university to see about hiring some interns, and kick this operation into high gear. I'm working all the time and can't do everything by myself. I need staff!! I predict this is going to be a fabulous month for business. It has already begun! :D 4 Link to post Share on other sites

writergal Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I'm learning to be thankful for the obstacles put in my way (by others or myself) because of the growth I experience as a result. I'm thankful for obstacles because obstacles: They open us up to change.They make us examine our priorities.They point us to options.They engage creativity.They slow us down to help us choose the right path.They create new meaning around a purpose.They redefine progress as a series of small steps.They start us out taking small steps in a new direction.They force digging deep and finding strength and courage.They teach us that our plans, hopes and dreams require commitment.They make us ask: what can we do to make a difference?They increase self awareness,They overcome our fear of failure.They enable us to discover hidden gifts.They push us to seek guidance.They make us gain necessary resources.They make us ask questions to understand the problem.They reinforce a positive outlook.Through obstacles, we find balance and learn to keep emotions in check.They help us be honest and realistic.They are humbling.They focus us on the end game. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Author Ruby Slippers Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 I got ANOTHER big contract at the end of the day!! Not full payment up front, but that's OK! This day was on fire! If I had a day like this every business day of the year, I'd be making $2 million in revenue I'm thankful and excited that I have a date tomorrow night! Mexican food and margaritas He's not my usual type - a simple country gentleman. But during our phone conversation tonight, I found his simplicity and groundedness very soothing. It's already feeling like spring down here in the South. My mojo is definitely rising, big time! 5 Link to post Share on other sites

Author Ruby Slippers Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 I'm thankful that I had a great first date tonight! I like him and we're already planning our second date for this weekend. I'm not sure he's "the one", but in spite of the qualities I'm not sure about in him, I like him, feel magnetized to him, and want to go out with him again. This is the fourth guy I've dated since I moved back home, and he's the first I've wanted to see again. Very different from my usual type - old-fashioned, broad-shouldered country gentleman who played football in college. He's 43 with a grown daughter (23), divorced a while back because his wife cheated on him. I felt immediately comfortable with him. I can tell he really likes me. I'm already thinking about kissing him. We'll see how it goes 7 Link to post Share on other sites

Author Ruby Slippers Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 I'm happy and thankful that I had a very fun salsa dancing date last night! It was a nice club, sophisticated, with a good live band. My date was a great dancer, knows how to lead and spin me around that dance floor! I'm also very happy that it's 70 degrees and sunny today. Gonna get out in it shortly. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Leigh 87 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Grateful I got 9/10 on my biomedical quiz given that I didn't study for it, because I went into the quiz thinking it was a different quiz entirely. I winged it and got mostly correct answers! Gotta love multiple choice:lmao: 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Michelle ma Belle Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Wow, so many things to be grateful for... 1. Grateful for my old love (ex hubby) and the amazing friendship we now have (would NOT have been possible had we stayed together). He still has my back, believes in me and supports me in anything I do. 2. Grateful for the beautiful children we had together, both on the outside and especially the inside. They are the perfect blend of all the best parts of my ex and me. 3. Grateful for my new love who helped me heal from a broken heart I thought couldn't be healed. For making me believe in love again and showing me what unconditional love really feels like. 4. Grateful for my parents who've been nothing but the most supportive, loving and generous people I know. My family is as dysfunctional as they come but we love each other to the moon and back! 5. Grateful for my job that allows me to do what I love and feel good about what I do. I'm so thankful for the roof over my head, food in my belly and the independence it's provided me. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Robert Z Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) I'm thankful for my sugar baby and finding some true happiness for the first time in my life. And I'm thankful for the prostitutes who helped to save my life and gave me a reason go keep going when nothing else was left. Now put that in your pipe and smoke it depression counselors and promoters of happy drugs. And to think they wanted me to beat drums and chant, instead! I'm thankful that I abandoned that nonsense and took control of my own life and fate; and was able to be honest with myself in my darkest moment.

Author Ruby Slippers Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 I'm flattered and thankful that I was just asked to be an "expert guest" on a tech TV (Internet) show!! I've been encouraged by advisors for a while now to put myself in the spotlight more and be the face of my business in a much bigger way, and now someone has served up the opportunity on a silver platter. Honestly, I don't feel ready for this yet, so I might put it off. But I'm thankful that the opportunity magically presented itself 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Anela Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) I am thankful that: * I still have plenty of food and smoothie or juice options, on a different diet (not that I haven't fallen off the wagon, but I'm doing better than expected). * That one man is no longer in my life, and I don't miss him. * That Mum is still alive, and Dad has been taking care of himself (as far as I know). * That I still have my dog, Walter, and my cats came into my life two Summers ago. Also: the feral kitten and I are now good friends. * That I'm hearing so many good things about turning 40, from women older than me. I want to feel good on my birthday, and beyond. * Spring is here, and I can start to plant seeds and bulbs. * That I've had more good luck than bad, over the past year. I'm still dealing with things emotionally, but ultimately I'm okay. We all are. * Collagen powder, and other supplements that are helping my stomach. * Rhodiola, flower essences, and the current homeopathic remedies that I was told to take for anxiety and depression (as well as something private). Something has taken the edge off, and when I'm relaxed, I'm more productive. I am also starting to feel more like myself. * A family member finally started chemo last week. Scary, but I hope it helps her. * That chrome saved my post, even though the browser crashed. Edited March 27, 2015 by Anela 2 Link to post Share on other sites
