Even though I am a little blue, I’m grateful I forced myself to do a lot of work today. I still feel blue, but at least I got a lot done, and I have a clean house. It’s a start. I’m grateful for my yoga class because it allows me to empty my mind, and I’m grateful that tomorrow is another day.
I’m grateful for my work ethic. I have a lot of faults, but being lazy isn’t one of them. I’m grateful for El Polla Loco’s 12-pieces for 12-bucks coupon. It’s crazy delicious. And, I’m grateful for potatoes and all potato – related products.
I’m grateful for the cool morning, which made AM cardio almost enjoyable (almost). I’m grateful to the many people who hate my guts. Life defines us not by who we are but more often by who we are not. And I’m grateful for the vegan option.
I’m grateful that I have today off, and it’s paid. I’m grateful that the medical profession finds me unremarkable, and I’m grateful flowers were on sale at the market, and that I could afford to buy some for the house.
I’m grateful for alcohol. Few things in life are easier to make, and nothing takes the edge off a shitty day more effectively than a good stuff drink. I’m grateful that I haven’t wasted a second of my life living someone else’s life, and I’m grateful for canned tuna. IDKY, but when I eat it, I feel rich.
I’m grateful for autumn and for the turn of leaves. I’m grateful for all the early voters. I, too, have been waiting four years to cast my ballot. #blue And, I’m grateful that I’m open to change.
Today is a day that reminded me of why I started this journal. So much of our lives are out of our control, and these are anxious times. So, today I’m grateful for The Fates. I’m grateful for clean laundry and a hot shower. The foundation of our existence. And I’m grateful for text and phone calls. Sometimes a little reassurance is all that is required.
I feel a great deal of relief today. Idk if it is the planets or my chakras have aligned, but I feel stronger energy and more balanced. I’m grateful for the shift. I’m grateful that the afternoons are cool and balmy. And I’m grateful for vision. Not everyone has it.
I’m grateful that I have better manners than a whole lotta people. Especially these days. I’m grateful for all the people who are working hard to help you. And, I’m grateful that my old boss finally got a new boss. He deserves it.
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 a positive influence on my life. You never know how karma chooses to direct you. Were it not for her, I would not be as successful a person as I am today. More importantly, I’m grateful that I’ve chosen to focus my thoughts on all the really great bosses and clients I’ve had instead of the ones who just suck the life outta ya.
