Grateful Thursday

I'm having a hard time picking things today. Not because I have nothing to be grateful for but because I have too much.
1) Sushi. It just makes me happy, especially this new roll I've found that's deep fried and covered in spicy mayonnaise. No, not very Japanese of them, or healthy for that matter, but sooooo tasty.
2) My raise! Got my first new paycheck today. It makes me want to run out and buy a new wardrobe or something big, but I'm restraining myself. I'm going to up the automatic savings plan we have instead. (And maybe take us out for a nice dinner and one pair of shoes for me, because what's life if you don't live it?)
3) The new HR software I've got that's making my work life so much easier. It's automated a lot of the little tasks I've been doing that were so time-consuming. Now there were at least a couple times this week where I felt like I'd run out of things to do, which never used to happen. I even got to organize my desk!
4) Cooler weather. This weekend the high is in the 50s. We never have much of a fall-- we usually get two good weeks of great 70 degree days, but this year those were all rained out, and now suddenly it's getting to be winter. In the way that our humidity makes our summers feel so sticky and thick, it makes our winters bitterly ice-cold as well, where they feel a lot worse than the temperature reading implies. But I'm looking forward to sweaters and fires and snuggling under a quilt.
5) Life. I don't really know how else to put it. There are some good days and bad days, but overall I'm thankful to just be here, experiencing everything that I'm blessed to experience.
