Day 334: Grace In Small Things

January 18, 2010
Comment?
  • My dog not needing sedation for his x-rays. This is pretty much a miracle considering that he tried to bite the vet technician when she tried to take him from me – i.e., we all expected him to be wholly uncooperative. With sedation comes the risk he may not wake up from it (it’s always a risk, but greater so with him because of his heart) and I can’t even begin to describe how relieved and elated I felt when I saw the vet carry him out to me, awake and unsedated.
  • How ridiculously favorable my dog is to the person who feeds him most – and right now, that person is me.
  • Going driving with my dad. I practiced right and left hand turns, drove up to 50 km/h, u-turns, parking, and parallel parking!
  • 2 hours of solid dance practice (and rewarding my hard work with a fresh strawberry & green apple bubble tea afterwards!) My legs and feet ached when I got home, but it felt so good to see improvements in one practice by concentrating & just doing it [over and over and over again].
  • Feeling confident and sexy. These days have been pretty rare in the last six months, but I think they’re making a comeback. :)

Wage a battle against embitterment and take part in Grace In Small Things.
