Dear Gratitude Journal :

I spent today finishing some small projects, and it reminded me of the many years when I had more time than money. I’m grateful that I used that time to buy tools, and teach myself to build and fix things. I’m grateful for all more tools; I love them so, and I’m grateful for my ability to throw things out.

The end.

Dear Gratitude Journal :

It was so a grey, cloudy day, the first in sometime, so I was grateful for the change. Quiet and somber; it’s as if everyone knows there’s only a few more months to accomplish our New Year’s resolutions to lose weight and save money. I’m grateful I worked late to reorganize some projects. And, I’m grateful to be hopeful.

The end.

Dear Gratitude Journal :

I’m grateful for alcohol. Few things in life are easier to make, and nothing takes the edge off a shitting day more effectively than a good, stiff drink. I’m grateful I haven’t wasted a second of my life living someone else’s life, and I’m grateful for canned tuna. IDKY, but when I eat it, I feel rich.

The end.

Dear Gratitude Journal :

I’m grateful that I’m not in my 20s. People want to look younger; no one wants to BE younger. I’m grateful that self-perception is subjective. I’m not sure what others see when they see me, but I’m grateful it’s not what I see.

The end.

Dear Gratitude Journal :

Today I’m grateful for acceptance. Like most people, I’ve thought about self-acceptance more than the acceptance of others. And because I love change and risk, I need to accept that I cannot change who people are, how they love, or their circumstances. Today, I understand that more fully and deeply than I have before, and even though I’m saddened by this defeat that understanding also make me feel free and at peace with the universe. I am very grateful.

The end.

Dear Gratitude Journal :

It was a grey, cloudy day…the first in some time. So, I was grateful for the change. Quiet and somber, it’s as if the universe knows that there’s only a few more months left to accomplish our New Year’s resolutions to lose weight and save money. I’m grateful I worked late this week. I feel significantly less stressed. And, I’m grateful I still believe in love. I only hope that love still believes in me.

The end.

Dear Gratitude Journal :

I’m grateful for chocolate. It’s one of life’s great pleasures. I’m grateful that I live in a place where leaving my house or car unlocked isn’t a problem. And, I’m grateful for the road less traveled. It has made all the difference.

The end.

Dear Gratitude Journal :

I can be an anti-social introvert, and it can be hard for me to embrace the human side of my often solitary work, but today I’m grateful to a mentor who told me that my priorities were wrong, and I needed to focus on the relationships. I took his advice to heart, changed myself, my attitude, and my approach, and I’m better for it. I’m grateful for walk-in mani-pedis. Cute feet are very important. And, I’m grateful for free shipping….and, really….isn’t everyone?

The end.

Dear Gratitude Journal :

Tonight as I relax in my little house, and curl up in my comfy bed, I’m profoundly grateful that Bill Cosby is an orange jump suit, sleeping in a bunk bend in some shitty jail cell. Justice delayed is still justice. I’m grateful that I have two fridges because shopping at Trader Joe’s when you’re hungry results in purchases of apps, pizza and all kinds of cauliflower-based foodstuffs. Finally, I’m grateful for that things we call chemistry. When you have it, you know it.

The end.

Dear Gratitude Journal :

Today brought change, and I’m grateful for the confidence of others. I’m grateful I am strong enough now to change my AM cardio to a more difficult route. #goals. And, I’m grateful I seem to be learning patience. Never my strongest virtue.

The end.
