Short and sweet

Hello, universe. I’m going to try to make this daily gratitude post quick before I miss out on posting it today. So, here are today’s five:

Rough days make me appreciate the good ones even more.

Today’s hot weather would’ve been the perfect time to go to the pool. I’ll probably go tomorrow after the webinar if it’s as hot as today was. I dislike the hot weather, but I appreciate that it gives me a reason to go to the pool.

Having a working VCR with video out. Huh, VCR, what’s that, you say? You know, those things that play VHS tapes. Tapes? I’m trying to make this a quick post, so I’ll skip the silly questions. :P But it’s really nice having a working VCR with video out so that I can convert some of the stuff I have on tape to digital format.

Frozen bottles of water. Definitely a great way to keep cool. And if you don’t know what I mean, use your imagination. ;)

That I was still able to write this post with plenty of time to spare for today. Is that cheating on one of my five daily gratitude postings? Maybe, but it’s my blog, so it works for me… and I can edit it if I think of a better one. :D

That’s all for today! :)

Woo-hah!

Hello again, universe! Guess what time it is… gratitude time! Woo-hah! Whoa, been a while since I’ve typed “woo-hah” anywhere… I should start using that again. Hehe.

Thank you for the following five things:

Another rest week for the Challenge. I’ve got a little bit of catching up to do (posting one of my articles to EzineArticles and using Posterous to auto publish to the accounts I set up), so it’s nice having this week to be able to do those things.

The disappointment that I experienced yesterday. I was expecting something completely different than what I got from a paid webinar (it was pretty much something I already knew about). I definitely learned that I need to trust my gut more often when it comes to buying things without really knowing exactly what you’re getting. It was a very convincing video sales letter that made me think it was going to be something completely new.

The horse that I bet on yesterday not winning, placing, or showing. It really made the race a whole lot more exciting when my horse had the lead for about 3/4ths of the race, but it seemed like out of nowhere came horse #2 to take the win in the end, putting my horse in 4th place. Still, it was pretty fun to watch.

Taking a side road home yesterday. Taking the freeway probably would’ve been faster, but taking the side road gave me a chance to see more of Rancho Santa Fe, which I wouldn’t have seen had we taken the freeway. Really a nice area to drive through.

A webinar coming up on Wednesday. I’m thankful for this and it hasn’t even happened yet. I know I’ll definitely get a lot of value from this free webinar than the paid webinar that I attended on Sunday. The reason why I know that is because I always learn so much from John Assaraf any time I watch anything from him. I’m super excited for this!

Well, that’s all for now. Time to give my computer a break.

Another themed gratitude post

Hello, universe! It’s been a while since I started a post that way.

I almost forgot about today’s daily gratitude post. Yesterday’s post had to do with web browsers and I guess today’s mostly has to do with my phone. So, thanks for the following…

Screen protector on my phone. Thanks for helping keep my screen from getting dirty or scratched. It’s better that those things happen to the screen protector and not the screen, right? :)

Osfoora for iPhone. It’s probably one of the best Twitter clients I’ve used for the iPhone. I don’t feel like going in depth into that since this isn’t meant to be a review, so that’s all I’ll say.

Google Maps for iPhone – for showing me real time traffic and helping me find places while I’m on the go.

Sigalert – speaking of traffic, this site is great for that too. It’s only for Californians and Arizonans (is that what you call someone from Arizona or is it Arizonian?) though, but still great for checking traffic. They also have a mobile version of the site too, but it’s easier for me just to open Google Maps.

Being able to download apps on iTunes for transferring to my phone later. Very useful when my phone doesn’t have the latest OS installed and I want to make sure I still get the app.

And that concludes my phone appreciation post. I don’t know if I’ll continue with having another theme tomorrow, but it’s been fun doing it this way so far. Well, have a great day, everyone! And I’ll post again tomorrow! :D
