I’m grateful for takeout. Even though Covid is waning, takeout continues its Renaissance. I’m grateful for Pinterest and YouTube. And, I’m grateful for the twists, turns, setbacks and reversals of life…the course of true love is never straight. The end.
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.
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.
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.
