And the List Goes On

There's  a lot I need to continue being thankful for in the midst of losing a best friend (I'm pretty sure, things could change) to her sleazy ex boyfriend, feeling torn between what's right and what actually feels rights, and a shit-load of homework and tests headed downstream in my direction.


71. breathing, being able to catch my breath when I feel a panic coming along.
72. leggings (to wear when I feel too bloated or too lazy to pull on the skinnys.)
73. "The One that Got Away" by Katy Perry
74. internet access
75. my delightfully friendly banker who is also quite good looking
76. $300 in cash hiding about (and found)  my car.
77. small ponytails (UNITE!)
78. cucumbers drizzled with lemon juice & ground pepper
79. "Kitty" (our kitten) being awesome all the time despite her ailments
80. Knowing that I'm a little bit more realistic and down-to-earth than my English teacher
81. driving stick (never thought I'd say that)
82. having a mom who is a Crossfit coach so I can work out for freesies
83. cheap healthy food (no such thing)
84. good hair...but hardly ever
85. sheets that stay on the mattress and don't spring up and get me tangled in a mess of linens & blankets (where can I find those?)
86. When I drink something warm and can feel it in my ears on a "freezing" day.
87. "El Camino" album by The Black Keys (seriously SO good all the way through)
88. the barista at Starbucks with violet hair who shared her love with me for The Black Keys & Arctic Monkeys
89. leftover chocolate chips
90. the looks he gives
91. laughing at my own jokes when no one else will
92. time
93. imagining things that would be great if they happened and losing myself in those thoughts for however long I feel. (That is actually a leisurely activity if you think  about it. Some people don't have time or can't)
94. helping people answer questions
95. itching an itch
96. cold & hot water
97. warm mugs
98. "Collide" by Howie Day
99. knowing where all the cop cars sit on the freeway so I can trick them by slowing at just the right second and then go back to being fun. (yet safe)
100. still having childhood fears of a boogeyman in my closet, thus checking it every night before bed.
101. wanting something so badly that it feels like I've grown another essential organ within me.
102. finishing a hard day/night's work.
103. spelling a hard word right on the first try
104. looking at another girl and not judging her, but thinking how pretty she really is.
105. not conforming for the sake of being liked.
106. my green Nike motorcycle jacket.
107. the thought of someday adopting and raising a child and that child growing up to be a great person
108. a plethora of mismatched rings on my fingers
109. not giving a shit when everyone else around me is freaking out about something very minimal.
110. Looking older than I actually am
111. breaking things and not knowing how I broke them and then realizing that it's sort of a talent.
112. freshly shaven armpits/legs
113. feeling like an adult
114. worrying about something and then calming myself down with logic and remembering (like assignments)
115. Argan oil
116.gin & tonics
117. that dress
118. packages
119. Kevin Bacon
120. Instagram
121. soft mints
122. wheat toast
123. "Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?" by Mindy Kaling
124. "Like Crazy" coming to DVD in March
125. my great great great friends
