Gratitude list

Grateful for my Ex. Yup. That’s what I said. Despite our history and heated moments these last few months, he continues to be a great dad… and that’s all that matters to me right now :slightly_smiling_face:

I tell you…it is the little things in life that make all the difference.

Today I am grateful for:

  1. Lunchtime yoga at work. It was only 30 minutes but it has given me some strength and serenity for my afternoon.
  2. Sunshine. I have been able to get outside for walks in the sun the last 2 days and I’m taking full advantage. I can feel how it has affected my mood in a positive way.
  3. FREE AVOCADO. I went to this little restaurant called The Bowl at lunch. It opened a little over a year ago and I never went. It seemed really expensive to for a “bowl” and there is basically only the one item on the menu but you can omit toppings that you don’t want. I ordered mine vegan (so no cheese or sour cream on it) and they said “sure, with a vegan bowl you get extra avocado”. THAT NEVER HAPPENS. ALWAYS the restaurant tells you “the avocado/guacamole is extra”. This place not only has avocado at no extra charge they gave me extra because I had no dairy. I’m in heaven right now.

Today I am gratefull for the little patch of yellow tulips I saw along the side of the road as I drove to work today. :tulip::tulip::tulip::tulip::tulip:

We are dealing with a flooding river due to snow melting and heavy spring rain (and a still frozen ground that can’t absorb any of it) so it’s quite stressful for many people in my city. I’m lucky to be far and high enough from water but it isn’t far from us. Plus it is affecting a community that is still dealing with the aftermath of the fall tornado. These little tulips can’t do anything to make the waters go away but I hope they can still bring a smile to some people’s faces. It’s like an “I’m sorry this sucks so bad” from my higher power.
