- I’m grateful I made a start yesterday and continued on today and put another big bin bag out into the trash today.
- I’m grateful I also have two bags of nice clothes that I can donate to charity.
- I’m grateful that I was at home while my son came home from school feeling emotionally unwell. We chatted a bit, I suggested he do a meditation and he’s just left for school again for the afternoon session.
- I’m grateful for my son’s teachers and support at school.
- I’m grateful for the counselling that has been offered to my daughter. I spoke to the counsellor today and she seems lovely.

Today Im thankful for:
- Air conditioners (I kept missing the word and my brain just came up with “climate change” I almost wrote it lmaoooo)
- Sandwiches of so many kinds
- My phone which connects me to an infinite space of knowledge and you guys, wherever I go
- Eggos in the morning to keep me strong
- 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 
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.
