Day 23 - 2nd to Last step! Gratitude!!

It’s Groundhog Day!  My Second Favorite Holiday (the first is my Bday, of course!). I’m grateful for one of the funniest movies ever!  I’m grateful that my personal Punxatawny Phil has determined the coming year is going to be sunny and full of wonderfulocities!!!  I am so grateful the notary came through!  My Sis has a friend who is a notary, and she notarized my teaching license yesterday!  WhooHoo!  On Monday, I’ll have her send it to the FL Sec of State through an expediting service, so I should have it in hand on Weds! From there, it will all go down to the Consulate in Houston and the following week, I’ll have my visa!
I am so grateful that my Sis was willing to help me out, and that her she has a friend who happens to be a notary!  Otherwise, I would have had to FLY to FL, and take care of all this in person, which could have taken days, plus lots of dollars!   I’m grateful that my new job has offered a substantial increase in income, so that IT DOESN’T MATTER that I will be spending more than the amount my new school has agreed to reimburse me for visa processing!  Security, finally!  
I am grateful that I will have more security now, in so many ways!  An increase in income, rent paid for, my OWN place which is much larger and will be ALL MINE, a new job with new opportunities to create positive relationships, leaving behind toxic work relationships, gaining IB experience and qualifications, the chance to get a doggie (!), and freedom from financial fear and no more “scraping buy”.  I welcome the opportunity to experience the THRIVING LIFESTYLE, while slamming the door on the “barely surviving lifestyle ”!
I am so grateful for all the opportunities that have come my way; I have WORKED HARD for all of them!  Although I was impatient (well, is waiting 3 years patient enough?), I’m achieving goals and long-held dreams!  I am so grateful I get to move to China!
I’m grateful I finally got the damn credit agencies to remove fraudulent collection from my account, so that my credit score jumped up.  I’m grateful for my local credit union—personal service, I love it!  I’m grateful for my good friends who have stuck by me as I waded through muck and splashed them with it—they didn’t complain; just extended me a helping hand.  I’m grateful for the part of my family that loves me, and expresses it.  I’m grateful for new faces in my life that are helping me evolve, move beyond old patterns, and helping me get ME back.  I’m grateful the truck is stilll running and that there is an opportunity to sell it for a small wad of cash. (Very, very small, LOL)!  I’m grateful that I’ll be able to give that small wad to the friends that sold me the truck under value in the first place!  
I’M GRATEFUL THAT I AM MOVING TO CHENGDU!  OMG!!!
