Monday gratitude.
Missi is purring on me, being a long, very comfy cat. Dog is sleeping. Schimanski is wandering around. Tiglat yodeled a few minutes ago (dinner time!). I’m grateful they get along well. I’m grateful the dog settles in. I’m grateful for dog trainers (in my case: more training me to understand dog). I’m grateful I’m tired and exhausted from an intense day.
I’m grateful I mopped the floor in the morning. Lotsa more to clean with a dog in house. I’m grateful I love my dog and he loves me.
I’m grateful for a warm house, chill freezing weather ahead. I’m grateful for sunshine the next days.
I’m grateful I take it one day at a time, step by step. The spring workload ahead could get overwhelming if I’m not careful and live in the present. I’m grateful for my solid toolbox, confidence, priorities and kindness towards myself. I’m doing my best.
Was interrupted by a call from a colleague who warned me about the brainfuck idiots section will attend saturday’s meeting too (very grateful for the warning!) , had idiotic dog shenanigans and fell into bed yesterday. Was grateful all was ok but geeeeez, this accomodating to living with a dog is straining. And a too curious cat is not helpful 
And fuck no, the dog won’t steal my dinner twice, Himmelarschundzwirn 
Tuesday gratitude.
I’m grateful the old boy is sleeping now, he had another seizure today morning. Makes me cry, I love him to pieces and see him getting really old, his health declining makes my heart heavy. My beloved purrball.
Update in the afternoon: I’m grateful he joined me in bed and is sleeping next to me. Missi is purring on my chest, the big red furball is sleeping on the bench beside the bed, I suppose the dog is sleeping in the hallway or the living room. I’m grateful for my pets 🩷
I’m grateful for the rest this afternoon, I need to be next to my old boy and give him security. I’m grateful for the rest after physiotherapy, I feel drained. I’m grateful I can call it a day at 2 p.m. when I’m done and my energy is used up. I hate spring, all the spring work exploding and spring fatigue draining me. Sometimes I feel like a zombie. I’m grateful I take it ODAAT and do the best I can.
I’m grateful I practice patience. Today was the first visit to the vet with the dog, just sniffing and getting to know the vet center. I’m grateful I didn’t become desperate trying to board the dog in the vet’s parking lot. It takes time. A 110 pound dog must use the dog ramp, and he must use it by himself. I’m grateful we made it after half an hour plus. He is a good boy 
I’m grateful I did grocery shopping, the fridge was empty. Really empty. Very grateful for our one-stop-shop supermarket where you find everything, from buttons, , kitchen items, potting soil in bags and journals up to lottery and cigaretts. Of course grocery too. And they do delicious sandwich catering! God save the stores in small villages 
We are lost without.
I’m grateful for sunshine, it’s drying up, maybe I can start mowing tomortow.
I’m grateful for a hot shower, I enjoyed today’s shower very much. Feeling clean and fresh lifts my mood.
I’m grateful for the lows hitting me these days, I’m emotional as the date of buying the farm is close. Thinking a lot about how I now live the dream alone we both had once when I bought the farm. I miss the lovely man who my ex was then, not the destructive, loveless, drunk he became. I’m grateful I learned to differ and stay present, focussing on me. My own emotions hurt me enough, I work hard on a healthy balance and letting go such upheavals. This too shall pass
ODAAT
so very grateful for that !
I am grateful I finally found the button that allows me to list things I am grateful for today!
