Happy Wednesday! It was a good day today, with much to be grateful for. It was much like yesterday, and the day before, uneventful, no drama and, really kind of predictable. I really appreciate looking for, and finding, things to be grateful for on uneventful days. It takes more careful observation throughout the day and reflection in the evening. I like that. It’s like replaying my day, focusing on all of the great things that happened. That’s a nice thing to do before bedtime. 🙂
So, here’s my list for today:
- I am grateful I have so many wonderful friends at work; they brighten my day. I love the breaks that we take to chat and catch up throughout the work day. There is always laughter and smiles in my office.
- I am grateful that this week has been a reprieve from the workload of the previous two weeks. I have even had enough time to really clean and declutter my office, and now it looks fantastic! I only wish that I had taken before and after pictures.
- I am thankful that I haven’t been as tired the last couple of days even though my allergies and sinuses have been bothering me every morning.
- I am thankful for the month old puppies that are crawling around my living room. I can just sit and watch them play for hours…they are getting bigger and braver every day.
- I am grateful for the strawberry shortcake that I made tonight (and had for dinner!). Tomorrow it’s all salad, all day.
- I am thankful that by doing my gratitude lists every day (well, almost every day), my mood, perspective, and level of happiness has improved so much. When I remember how much I have to be thankful for, it always brings me joy.
