Gratitude List. 5 things daily

I’m grateful Franzi slept in the wet shirt so she could get some sleep.
I’m grateful she’s gotten to do some pretty nice things in France.
Including the figs. To me, France is figs, tomatoes and Camembert. And mirabelles.
I’m grateful Franzi has her phone equipment for the car.
I’m grateful she’ll soon be home with her rain.
Franzi have a nice and safe trip back home.
Proud of you for making the summer work trip to France and getting into it all in a good way.
And all your hiking and biking… despite the heat! Yay. :hugs:

Today Im thankful for:

  1. Air conditioners (I kept missing the word and my brain just came up with “climate change” I almost wrote it lmaoooo)
  2. Sandwiches of so many kinds
  3. My phone which connects me to an infinite space of knowledge and you guys, wherever I go
  4. Eggos in the morning to keep me strong
  5. Not getting chilli cheese burgers driving home at night after work, and that two nights in a row

How funny are our brains, for gods sake.

Me yesterday: We’re NOT getting burgers after work at night!!!
Me yesterday: ok
Me today after work at night: I want bURGERS

Also this is how addiction works? I mean we dont WANT to want to drink!!.. but we still wanna drink tho
Whyyyy😂
Thats why its best, when faced with intrusive thoughts, to just yell at my brain part to shut uuuuuppppp and redirect attention coldly without a second thought… im not taking my self seriously anymore…

I am grateful I got myself an upgrade for the car and booked a room for tomorrow in advance.
I am grateful most of the things are in the car, most importantly my bike :grimacing: the rest will be in the car when I leave and it won’t take long.
I am grateful for the time here, in the end. What a ride.
I am grateful i can take it easy. It’ll take some concentration on the highway to Genova and then Milano.
I am grateful that drinking is out of the equation.
