I’m grateful for fishermen or fishers (?) – the fishing industry. I eat a lot of seafood, and it would be a bummer if I had to catch it myself. I’m grateful for Amazon Prime’s amazing fulfillment process, and for all those drivers who bring stuff right to my door. What an amazing world. I’m very grateful I bought a nice plier and wrench set last year. Sometimes you just need a vise grip.
Even though I’m goal driven, I’m grateful I’m not a competitive person. People who always need to win have a hole in their aura that is impossible to fill, and they ruin the fun of game for the other players. I’m grateful for sites like Glassdoor. Companies need to have their references checked also. I’m grateful for homemade fried chicken and chocolate chip cookies. Two foods pretty much everyone is happy to eat.
I’m grateful that I have better manners than a whole lotta people. Especially these days. I’m grateful for all the people who are working hard to help you. And, I’m grateful that my old boss finally got a new boss. He deserves it.
Today I’m grateful I was able to reconnect with a boss I worked for almost 30 years ago, and even more grateful that I was able to thank her for being such a positive influence on my life. You never know how karma chooses to direct you. Were it not for her, I would not be as successful a person as I am today. More importantly, I’m grateful that I’ve chosen to focus my thoughts on all the really great bosses and clients I’ve had instead of the ones who just suck the life outta ya.
Although I have my issues with professional sports, I’m grateful for the NBA players. #BLM. I’m grateful for the multitude of people who have quit and protested the Trump administration. And, I’m grateful for Millennials and young people…they are leading the way toward change, which has always been the mission of youth. Our world benefits from their unrelenting advocacy and persistence.
I’m grateful for dinner in a restaurant’s parking lot. Anywhere is better than eating my own cooking in my own kitchen. Restaurant food is NOT overpriced! I’m grateful for clarity and insight into my priorities. You always know what you don’t want. And, I’m grateful I don’t feel angry or dejected when people treat me differently because I am a girl. My karmic lessons continue.
I’m grateful I take a lot of notes. Probably one of the reasons I was always a good student. I’m grateful for the carpool lane, and I’m grateful for realtors.
I’m grateful for the truth. It does set you free, even if that means a free fall to land flat on your face. I’m grateful that perception is subjective. I’ve come to accept that sliver in my eye, but I’m grateful others reminded me it’s there…
The sun went down some time ago, and it is still over 80° outside. I’m grateful that my house has trees around it, and I have AC. There aren’t many cool places to escape to these days. I’m grateful for the ability to bill some extra hours today. A good use of indoor time. And, I’m grateful for a small improvement in our economic numbers. Lots of people are worried. I hope this bit of good news helps to bolster our collective confidence.
Disappoint is karma’s way of redirecting you back to your spiritual journey. I’m grateful for the redirection, I just wish I wasn’t so off track. I’m grateful for a pleasant, comfortable day of small chores and big reading. And, I’m grateful for phones. So grateful….
