Dear Gratitude Journal :

Having a significant birthday in this s**t storm is not anyone’s ideal. Nevertheless, I’m grateful to have reached the milestone. I’m grateful that I’m committed to leading the authentic life. And, I’m very grateful for my loved ones who called and texted. A new decade is beginning for me and us all.

The end.

Dear Gratitude Journal :

I’m grateful that I can and do work from home. I realize it’s a lot of people’s dream, but it can be too much of a good thing. It’s little lonely; I look like shit on camera. Nevertheless, from a cost/benefit and time/productivity standpoint, you can’t argue with it. I’m grateful that my garage is attached to the house. And, I’m grateful that Home Depot will take everything back.

The end.

Dear Gratitude Journal :

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 an amazingly powerful and positive influence on my life. I’m grateful for all the great bosses and clients I’ve over the past few years. (I’ve become much better at choosing them.) The life-suckers teach you self-respect and how not to make the same mistakes – and I’m grateful for those lessons – I just wish they could be a little frequent and tiresome.

The end.

Dear Gratitude Journal :

Pooja and I found a new dog park. I was anxious about going because the OC is full of Karens and Kens (aka GI Joes), and I was unsure of my pup’s behavior. I’m grateful that she did well, and everyone was friendly and chill. I’m grateful today required no air conditioning. And, I’m so grateful for every doctor, nurse, tech, admin and the massive number of health care professionals who work every day…with all kinds of <!@#$%@!!> people…to help us – literally – to live through this. So fortunate are we for their training and dedication.

The end.

Dear Gratitude Journal :

Life before Covid seems like a million years ago. I feel like I am finally moving from the messy middle into the path forward. I’m grateful for that. I’m grateful for a day spent doing some very difficult editing. It’s good practice. And, I’m grateful for fruit. A good piece is one of the best things in life.

The end.

Dear Gratitude Journal :

I’m grateful that I have reached a point in my life where I need to budget to buy windows, not to buy food. It wasn’t always like that. I’m grateful my home is cool and comfortable and smells of lavender. And, I’m grateful that stores sell single-serving slices of cake because I don’t have enough self control to have a whole cake in the house and, apparently, I’m not alone.

The end.

Dear Gratitude Journal :

I’m grateful for art, art lovers and patrons.  The world needs artists; we have enough lawyers, MBAs, and English majors. I’m grateful for the soft blue haze that hangs over the city softening the edges of concrete and glass. And, I’m grateful that life has finally provided a view from above not below. It’s nice here.

The end.
