Today, I gratefully removed myself from Trump’s Twitter followers. #irrelevant No doubt Jack Dorsey will remove him permanently in January. I’m grateful for the optimism that is permeating the atmosphere. And, I’m grateful for real journalism…almost as important as “real” votes.
I’m grateful for traffic. For a brief moment today, I forgot about 2020, and felt like I had returned to my old life. I’m grateful for sake. And I’m grateful for Asian take out.
I’m grateful that Mercury is in retrograde. Normally, I wouldn’t say that, but this has been a year of unprecedented change; a cosmic pause and celestial reflection seem in order. And I’m grateful that I have a virtual job. I’m very grateful for a clean house. And, I’m grateful for Yelp. So much better than the Yellow Pages.
I’m grateful for a very productive weekend. I feel good about this coming week. I’m grateful for an afternoon with friends. I value social time now the way I used to value me time in the precovid past. And, I’m grateful for Tennessee accents.
I’m grateful that I’m not in my 20’s. People want to look and feel younger – no one wants to actually BE younger. I’m grateful that self-perception is subjective. I’m not sure what other see when they see me, but it’s not what I see.
Today I’m grateful for acceptance. Like most people, I’ve thought about self-acceptance more than the acceptance of others. I need to accept that I cannot change who people are, how the love, or their circumstances. Today I understand that more fully and deeply than I have before, and even though I’m sadden by this understanding, it also makes feel free and at peace with the universe. I’m very grateful.
I’m grateful for a quiet Monday and another beautiful California day. I’m grateful that I’ve continued to exercise patience with cyclists who ride on the sidewalk and pedestrians who walk in the street, and I’m grateful for pizza; it never disappoints.
I’m grateful for my work ethic. I have a lot of faults, but being lazy isn’t one of them. I’m grateful for El Polla Loco’s 12-pieces for 12-bucks coupon. It’s crazy delicious. And, I’m grateful for potatoes and all potato – related products.
I’m grateful that the world is filled with people who are smarter than I — like my doctors. I’m grateful that the world is filled with people who are not smarter than I — like my clients, and my brother. Lastly, I’m grateful that my grammar is precise enough to know it’s I and not me.
I’m grateful for the cool morning, which made AM cardio almost enjoyable (almost). I’m grateful to the many people who hate my guts. Life defines us not by who we are but more often by who we are not. And I’m grateful for the vegan option.
