Dear Gratitude Journal :

I’m grateful that my energy force is so strong now that I am impervious to negative bullshit. Namaste. I’m grateful for aspirin. And, I’m grateful for my work ethic. Laziness and entitlement is everywhere, and I don’t want to ever be like that….

The end.

Dear Gratitude Journal :

I’m grateful for the AAA driver who was able to swap out the battery in my truck, which is older than he is. I’m grateful I walk a lot of hills. You never know when you’re going to need to walk home. And I’m grateful for those little fingerling potatoes.

The end.

Dear Gratitude Journal :

I awoke to a thick layer of fog. We don’t get much fog inland; I miss it because it’s my favorite weather. I’m grateful the start of the week was foggy, soft and very peaceful. Time to put away the linen clothing. I’m grateful there’s a fresh fish market close to my house. And, I’m grateful for mail-in voting.

The end.

Dear Gratitude Journal :

I’m grateful that I maintain a supply of paper goods, water, chicken, and a variety of other essential supplies. No panic buying here. I’m grateful my sprinkler repairs are above ground during a heat wave, so I don’t mind getting muddy and wet. And, I’m grateful for the delays and detours in my life this past week. I realize it’s Divine Intervention, and that I’m exactly where I need to be.

The end.

Dear Gratitude Journal :

Despite the official arrival of Autumn, I’m grateful for a few more warm days of pool time. I’m grateful for apples and peanut butter. An excellent taste invention. And, I’m grateful for Trader Joe’s. Isn’t everyone?

The end.

Dear Gratitude Journal :

I’m grateful I had time to return to a longer hike. I’m definitely sore, but I feel good. I’m grateful the day was cool and the hillsides are blooming with mustard, paintbrush, and yarrow. And, I’m grateful for my garden. Few things are more satisfying than growing your own food.

The end.

Dear Gratitude Journal :

I’m grateful for debit cards. I’m grateful for direct deposit. Remember paper checks? It seems the world recovered from all the jobs lost to the “AI” of the Payroll Department. And, I’m grateful for mobile apps.

The end.

Dear Gratitude Journal :

I’m grateful that I got a lot of exercise today. I’m grateful for my expert road trip travel skills, and I’m grateful for shrimp. It used to be special occasion food. Now, it’s lunch on Tuesday food.

The end.

Dear Gratitude Journal :

I’m grateful I’ve exercised some restraint when it comes to cosmetic procedures. California is filled with custom faces, constructed bodies, and even though mine is quite imperfect, I’m okay with it being more out-of-the-box, so to speak …. 🙂 I’m grateful I live near the mountains. In times of crisis, no one yells, “Run for the valley!” and I’m grateful for roasted chicken. It’s always a good dinner.

The end.

Dear Gratitude Journal :

I’m grateful that I am smart enough to know that I cannot change people’s thoughts and feelings, so I focus on changing their behavior. I’m beginning to see that not everyone can make that distinction. I’m grateful that today was warm and sunny. I know it’s only a short time before the cold of winter sets in. And, I’m grateful that very few things upset me anymore. I don’t know if it’s because IDGAF, or if it’s it because nothing really matters anyway. But either way, it’s good.
