Hot and Steamy Gratitudes!

Summer is finally upon us in New York City. We're hitting 90 degree weather on the regular and the subway trains are super cold. While I have not mastered the 'sweater on, sweater off' from street to platform to subway car, the habitual pathways in my brain are starting to remember. I do have a wedding today, but I will battle my inner slug and catch up on apartment clean up. That may mean pumping the air conditioning and some good tunes, but I'll do whatever it takes! It's been a good week. Here are my lists...

GRATITUDES
1. Catering leftovers
2. Restaurants open to using my containers for take-out (and not ridiculing or judging)
3. The volunteers and staff that made the Dinner Party at PS 1 not only successful, but exciting for the students
4. Supportive and proactive colleagues
5. My ability for keeping perspective, and not freaking out when I realized I left my wallet in my father's car - and they went out of town for the week!

CELEBRATIONS
1. Increased inquiries for pre-marital counseling
2. SEVEN weddings away from my annual goal with 8 pending
3. My first out of town wedding with an overnight
4. I did 1 Spanish language lesson this week - come on inertia!
5. A few attempts at more social time - failed attempts, but attempts nonetheless

DESIRES
1. A clean and organized home
2. More time at the water
3. More regular reading
4. Home decoration updates
5. a date

Okay folks, that's it. Stay cool, keep motivated and have a great weekend!
