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.
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.
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.
I’m grateful for time to do work because I like work that doesn’t involve talking. I’m grate for the signs from the universe. There are no coincidences….if you miss the lesson, god keeps sending it to you. And I’ grateful that no one has every proposed to me on a Jumbo-tron.
I’m grateful for a really nice afternoon with a really great person. I’m grateful for my mentor who has been a bit of a therapist – not that I need therapy – being so close to perfection and all. And, and I’m grateful for my honesty despite the fact that it’s socially disadvantages.
Fixing my sprinklers is my least favorite DIY chore as it involves carefully digging through mud and cutting thru roots to ultimately uncover someone’s gross incompetence. But, since I had to be wet and covered with mud, and annoyed, I’m grateful it was 90° and not 50°. I’m grateful for petunias and pansies. They’re sturdy, cheap, and colorful. And I’m grateful that the weather allowed me to spent some time in the garden, which is my favorite place to be.
Today I’m grateful that I made the decision to express daily gratitude because days like today can make me feel that my life is empty and pointless. I’m grateful that I try to live with optimism. Even though I have failures and disappointments, I think it’s better to be hopeful than live jaded and defeated. And, I’m grateful that karma is bitch.
I’m grateful for the cool morning, the ocean breeze, the trickle of the fountain, the hummingbirds, the butterflies, and the time spent lying in the sun enjoying this moment in life.
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 plyer and wrench set last year. Sometimes you just need a vise grip.
I’m grateful that the yoga pants I bought two months ago are too big now. I’m grateful for the delicious pizza I had tonight to celebrate my smaller butt, and I’m grateful I understand the expression, “Sick as a dog,” without having to experience it first hand.
