Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery #10

thursday morning gratitude, i’m so behind on reading here :see_no_evil_monkey: will catch up :hugs:

i’m grateful it’s 7 a.m and i’m basically done with morning routine and tidying up the chaos the cats made. not that it makes sense, i already hear stuff i put away 1 hour ago being played with :joy: i’m grateful for my sixpack of cats and their shenanigans, so much fun :sparkling_heart:

I’m grateful it finally is cooler, dog & me apprechiate it.

i’m grateful i can handle long busy days without feeling overwhelmed or overly exhausted :folded_hands:

i’m grateful after this week the annual cat checkups are done. next step: neuter the kittens. presumably in 3 - 8 weeks depending on their tooth change status. Elektra already wants the wooden spoon to chew on :grin:

I’m grateful my snoring dog is so lovely and calming, i could fall asleep :sparkling_heart:

grateful for friends, good talks, getting a lot done, shiatsu therapy, rest, modern amenities, boundaries, laughter, enjoying “my farm my rules”, not giving a fuck, my cozy home and my wonderful life in general :folded_hands:

@JazzyS
I am so very grateful that I am able to add light walking and rowing to the mix of exercises without causing inflammation. Have to keep a tight monitor on it and hopefully this will all help with my VO2max as I am not in a good standing right now.

So pleased you’re able to add this in hun and :crossed_fingers:you’ll feel the benefits, I’m sure you will :hugs:
My intro to new job went fine thanks, it was more just meeting my manager in person, going through things and meeting the residents I’ll be supporting. Will do a days training soon before being let lose :joy:

I’ve heard great things about this too! I used to use a dry brush about a decade ago to help with my fibromyalgia, but then I stopped for some reason. Either because I was feeling much better or because I got lazy-or most likely a combo of both lol. Yes, please let me know how this goes for you! :heart:
