Dear Gratitude Journal :

I’m grateful for the return of the light. Winter solstice is always a bit of a somber day. Even with the rush of Christmas, I cannot shake the feeling that 2026 will be a very different year, and we need these next few weeks to rest, reflect, and realign. I’m grateful I had time to tend to the garden before our big rainstorms. And, even though everyone says it, I’m very grateful for my friends. I feel honored to have people in my life who have been putting up with my shit for decades, and they still love and support me. Amazing. The end.

Dear Gratitude Journal :

Even though I had to work, I’m grateful it was an easy, quiet, short day. I’m grateful I am prepared for tomorrow’s atmospheric river. When I think of what drainage was like when I moved into this dump. SMH. Some people just don’t understand how water works. Finally, I’m grateful for the Internet.

The end.

Dear Gratitude Journal :

Even though I was tired and a bit hung over, I’m grateful I sucked it up and powered through the last few chores I had before settling in for the evening. The anticipated annoyance of having things incomplete is far greater than the temporary discomfort of being hot, hungry, and tired. I’m grateful for aspirin, and I’m grateful for those re-freezable sports bandages. A great invention.

The end.

 

Dear Gratitude Journal :

Success is mostly about just showing up and working honestly. I’m grateful for my capacity for change, and my work ethic. I’m grateful that messy hair is en vogue. I knew my time would come. And, I’m grateful that I’ve learned that saying No isn’t about having an attitude, it’s about boundaries and a healthy ego. Everyone should have both.

The end.

Dear Gratitude Journal :

Even though my current client’s offices aren’t as swank as some of the office “parks” I’ve worked in, I’m grateful that I can park right near the door. Schlepping in from a parking structure sucks. I’m also grateful that there are two bars across the parking lot. I’ve only been to one. And, I’m grateful that I can work from home because there’s no place like it.

The end.
