Today I am grateful.

  1. I slept through the night for about 5-6 hours.
  2. Chronic insomnia teaches me to value quality sleep. It has required me to learn how to be disciplined in evening routines to help ensure I’ve set myself up for getting to sleep. This lesson in discipline is transferrable to other areas of my life!
  3. The conversation with my husband about his habits around alcohol and how he wants to be sure his activities and relationships don’t revolved around drinking.
  4. Perfect sleeping weather with the windows open!
  5. A love of cooking.
