Why do I smile
...because I have so many things to be greatful for
I'm greatful for.....
your phone call this morning, it made me smile that you thought to call me this morning to apologize for not calling me back last night (you don't know how many cool points that got you) lol
your email when I got to work to tell me that you just wanted to say hi
my aunt being ok, despite the fact that she tends to bring grief to those around her I am glad that God was looking out for her.
my lil sister coming next weekend with a rack of her friends, I love that she wants to spend her 23rd bday with me
becoming a little older and wiser, it's so good to know that I'm not the same naive woman I was when I was in college
moments like this...when I can feel like a little kid again
having Monday off, ya'll think I be playing when I count down to my days off..I love my job and all but a sista be trying to sleep lol
for realizing that even though marrying a millionaire would be ideal for sleeping in, I really wouldn't be happy :)
for your slip up in mentioning that your mom wants to meet me, that means you've talked about me to her :) I'm flattered haha
for being able to listen to music (not him lol) while at work cause the silence can be deafening sometimes lol (I'm feeling Midnight by Omarion and this new girl name Kiley Dean..check her out)
for not having a weird dream last night (all I remember is that I was talking to someone)...I turned the TV off maybe that had something to do with it
for hump day (wednesday)....no you nasty minds LOL....cause after this the rest of the week is easy
for deleting my BP page....yea I was just getting nonsense folks sending me ridiculous messages that annoyed that piss out of me...but it was delivering me from boredom...now I read washingtonpost.com LOL
for how I've noticed "us" changing....I like the fact that it's a slow process but a rewarding one
for the opportunity to tell you how I feel and not being afraid of what you might say
for my nephew who "calls" me just to say hi auntie d'yelle (lol, he can't pronounce it all the way and he always hangs up after he says bye and be good haha)
for the moments that I talk to you on the phone and you educate me on the surrounding world, because of you I now know that my stereotypes of the followers of Islam weren't all true (lol except bean pies haha)
for you knowing when to stop talking about all that and ask me how my day was
for the drive to do better this year in all that I do....it's all about going hard or going home (and I prefer to go hard)
Each time I think of all the things that I have to be greatful for I realize just how much they outweight the bad things that occur in life and I smile.......

TC..you hit the nail on the head :)
Lady..I do too
awwwwwwwwwwwww.this post made me want to call my nana and go to Bible study or temple or something.
Deep...LOL...you are crazy girl
Love grateful Wednesday. Have fun with your sister. I love when dudes do little things like that. They have no idea how sexy that shit can be. Showing that you can be a caring individual.
People still be on Black Planet?
Have I ever told you that I really like your template? It's so serene...
I'm thankful for too much, so I won't even crowd your comments. Just know that I'm thankful, too.
I am greatful for alarm clocks
and blogger:)
HL: It's been a long time and I can see that I have a lot of catching up to do. Before I dropped out of the blog world, you were with a new guy, but there was someone over seas or elsewhere that was hoping for a reunite sometime this year. Sounds like that brotha might be in trouble.
Glad to see that your readership has increased. You always did have an interesting life and a more interesting take on things.
As for me, old wounds have healed and I'm redirected. I still struggle, like every one else, but these days, if I fall, I try to fall FORWARD, and never stay on the ground long enough to get dirty ;)
Holla a your old friend some time.
G
Oh...nice new template! It's you.
mizzjj...yes although I be like why does she call me so much I'm glad that we are close like we are...and HE makes me smile more often than he knows
Dynasty...yea girl...it was getting annoying though..name onthe page and the first question out there mouth would be what's your name..can you read fool...aww thanks everytime i come to this page my spirit gets calm LOL
LadyJ...you and me both LOL
sojourner...it's nice to see an old friend back, your words always brought me peace..I look forward to stopping by your place..interesting life nah LOL..not me I think the template is me too :)
People use Blackplanet? Thats so 8th grade!! lol
Getting schooled on Islam eh?? What exactly did you learn?
epsilonicus...yea it is but I found out about it in college so it's all new to me LOL...I learned alot LOL..too much to talk about in one sitting
i love reading gratitude lists where traces of intimacy and affection are floating through them!!! i see you girl!!!! bat them lashes of yours!!!! ;-)
fallen...I'm batting them LOL
heyyyy honey! :D
i'm lovin' your list dahlin'!! fa real. anyhoo... you know the deal, i'm passin' thru to return some of the love you so selfishly show to me ova @ my spot!!
you are appreciated... MUCHLY! :D
alwayspeace & love!
hey girlie...my gratefuls were posted on jus.b.fli's site but there's always more to be thankful for...
I too am grateful that i'm not the same woman i was in college...i'm grown now! (lol)
i too love moments where i can be a kid again. last night for example when i had this killer urge to do a cartwheel and a round off
for health and strength
for courage under fire
for a great pastor and church family
for realizing that even though marrying a millionaire would be ideal for sleeping in, I really wouldn't be happy :) so love this cause i feel the same way. i once dated a man with mad loot and it drove me crazy. i love simplicity and just being without having to conform
BP is really disintegrating these days....it's becoming the black Myspace and I'm not happy with it either.
And yeah I wouldn't be happy marrying a millionaire either because he's probably want to suppress and control me and you know I ain't having that! ;-)
i still got my BP BIRMINGHAM64...i check it sometimes...to umm...make sure my page is still up...i might have to check out that song by former "BK Rapper"...lol...DOES ANYBODY REMEMBER OMARION RAPPING FOR BURGER KING?...i can listen to music too...THANK YOU!!!
What a beautiful post. Your heart is all over it and the honesty rings true. I had to giggle at the "cool points" comment. I haven't thought about cool points since I left the southeast. My hubby and I, before we were married, would give and take them away constantly. I need to start doing that again. His old but has some funny, cool point losing moments these days.
This was a great post girlie! I may have to steal your "things that make me smile" idea...seems like something nice to go back to when you feel like crap
