@acromouse ‘s short, bullet pointed gratitude lists. My dyslexia thanks you! It takes forever for me to read posts, so I love that you get to the point!
@erntedank ‘s vivacious spirit. You remind me to have the humility to admit when I need help, and the confidence to tell someone “but not from you!” Your posts captivate me in a way that’s difficult to explain.
@WilliamBloke ‘s continued participation in these groups. My heart is gladdened when I see his input.
@Olivia ‘s amazing empathy. She has such a wonderfully giving heart. I love seeing her outreach!
@Lezourez for liking my posts, but virtually having no interaction amongst each other. I see you, fellow introvert!
@Noshame for having such a warrior spirit. He can receive blow after blow, yet he still marches onward! He’s truly inspiring and such a precious addition to this community!
For having a safe space in my garage
For having too much food in my belly
For being hydrated, moisturized, and in my lane.
For having access to the medicine that I need
For the ability to wink both my left and right eye

I’m grateful I don’t care that the contract draft # 3 has to wait until I get to it. When lawyers are too dumb to understand clear instructions, then they have to wait until I find time to rewrite the fucking thing myself. With clearer instructions
