last night adam was drunk and we hung out at big hoss and like two weeks ago he messed up his tailbone snowboarding and he's still hobbling around and always complains of being bedridden (he's saying this as he's at a bar--clearly not bedridden) but was like hannah you really don't know what you got till it's gone why is it so hard to be grateful for things and so easy to take everything for granted?

drunk adam, you're onto something.

the past year after reading the book One Thousand Gifts i've been challenged and challenged others to be grateful for things every day and sometimes i'm better at this than other days. it is hard though. it's hard to remember to be grateful for our bodies when they are working fine. it's hard to be grateful for sunshine when we see it every day. it can be hard to be grateful for the community we live in until we don't live in it anymore. it's hard to be grateful for babycar until it gets stuck in the ice and i can't drive it.

trying to be grateful for things i have. trying to remember to be crazy grateful for the boys i live with because they move out in a month and i'm sad about that. trying to be grateful for times like last night when i came home at 10 and chelsie was sitting on the floor inbetween kari's bed and mine and we shopped for earrings. trying to be grateful for the days i can drive babycar. trying to remember to be grateful for my body on the days it's not broken down. trying to be grateful for colorado even though it's been hard.
