Tuesday gratitude.
I’m grateful I can shower whenever I want, I sweat, it’s hot.
I’m grateful for yummi leftovers.
I’m grateful I had a talk with a company to finish all the ex-leftovers today. This was the first time I thought: Well, maybe this time I get an offer.
I’m grateful I put out the trashbox for collection tomorrow. Super grateful that one of the car canvas also found space. I want to get rid of this useless, torn pieces the ex puts on his oldtimers.
I’m grateful I urged the notice from my lawyer, it’s not ok that everything takes weeks to happen. I’m grateful I voice my desire for timely working.
I’m grateful I just killed the mosquito that annoyed me last night.
I’m grateful for a massage today, a nap afterwards and my wrist feeling almost ok again.
I’m grateful I call it a day and go to bed. Or fall asleep with Inspector Barnaby. Both welcome. ODAAT :pray:

I’m grateful for a never ending stack of books to read. I’m grateful I can tell my stress levels by how many books I am reading at the same time, current count 6. :grimacing:

I am grateful that moving day will come and no matter how often I worry that someone else will move in to the UNLOCKED apartment next door and invoke squatting rights before our move in on Sunday, these are just worries. I can’t control the future.
I’m grateful someone will tell me to ask my building manager to lock it and I’m grateful I know that attempting to contact my building manager is more stress than its worth.

I’m grateful to have a twitchy kitty upside down next to me having some ferocious dreams about chasing animals or maybe being electrocuted.

I’m grateful for a job I love with an easy walkable commute. I’m grateful for tank tops on 90 degree weather commute days.
I’m grateful my stress doesn’t leave after expressing gratitude here but it does feel less stressy.

Lets get this day folks, what will come will come, I’m just trying to roll with it.

I am grateful for not knowing who I am or what to do next. For once. I know who I am not, and what not to do. For me, that knowledge opens things up and allows me to be creative, have faith and be confident. It is a bit scary, I won’t lie! Things are wide open and I have freedom I’ve never had before.

@JazzyS I miss barefoot grass! :heart: Here, if you walked barefoot you would receive 77 fire ant, 8 mosquito and 13 chigger bites within 10 seconds. Oh and sticker burrs in your toes :grinning:. I will have to go back up north just to walk in the barefoot grass!

Grateful sober Wednesday morning :blush:
There’s nothing better than waking up rested, clearheaded, with cats purring on and beside me 🩷 Well, a partner joining this little paradise would be nice but I think I’m not ready for another human in my peaceful life. I’m grateful I think openly about someone new and I’m double grateful I’m honest with myself and see that I need more time. Still too much going on that I have - and some issues even want - to focus on. First things first.
I’m grateful that I’m a responsible person and take good care. I’m grateful I learned to be patient. I’m grateful Missi purrs away on me and her tamping paws are like acupuncture needles. Sweet fluffball needs her Mami :heart: And the old boy sleeps beside me. I’m grateful I can enjoy together time with the cats after a refreshing shower and don’t have to hurry to work. Grateful for office @ home and that I do what I can. It is enough.

I’m grateful for deadlines and structure and that I’m capable to set my own. I’m grateful I stick to my path and keep going. It took me really far. I’m grateful I can always go back to basics, babysteps and mini-tasks, they had the major input on my forthcoming. Just keep going. I’m grateful I realized long ago that resting, recovering, regenerating is key to find balance and getting to know my own power and ressources. I’m deeply grateful that I don’t borrow from tomorrow anymore, not a single cup of energy. I’m grateful that my life fills with different kinds of energy when I do the best I can mindfully.

I’m grateful the “new” office is working and I catch up on officework day by day.
I’m grateful a big catfood delivery arrived. Everything became ridiculous expensive. I’m grateful I can afford our life and I’m deeply grateful the most expensive parts beside unavoidable insurances & cars & operating costs are the cats. It makes me happy when the catfood arrives and I serve 3 different food, they chomp & munch and afterwards they sleep like snorring angels :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I’m grateful I’m a nice and loving person who only gets bitchy when someone severely hurts or pisses me. I’m grateful that I work on my ex being none of these persons. ODAAT

PS: Congratulations on all achievements and milestones dear gratipeople! :sunflower:
I have a lot to catch up.
