Gratitude

I haven’t posted anything in a good long while, but I challenged Hollywood to join me in a 10 minute a day gratitude journal through Thanksgiving and I was going to post some of that pre-packaged writing here (see below) when it dawned on me that it’s now been a year since I started this blog. I guess it’s not a terrible thing that I haven’t posted in a while. I’ve been busy doing things, not lying sick or in jail. And today is no different, I’m not committing any more time to this because I legitimately have better things to do. Gratitude rocks!

FREYADAY 11/20/20

So much to be grateful for today! I’m grateful for the found time this afternoon when AP closed for weekend. I’m grateful my mom asked for my help with her email and that I had time and energy to give freely and with patience. I’m grateful that my mom and dad are healthy and not fearful of getting sick. I’m grateful to have the windows open on a sunny day for what may be the last time this season. I’m grateful that my good friend the Divine Miss B reached out to check on me. I’m grateful that I can finally get to a meeting again tomorrow. I’m grateful to have a good strategy going in my bathroom set up without spending any money. I’m grateful I picked up some groceries yesterday so I can relax tonight and not worry about what to eat. I’m a pretty happy camper today.  

Saturnday 11/21/20 – over half way through this gratitude challenge – woohoo!

I’m grateful that I was there today for the other couple who showed up to the meeting, even if they didn’t need me. I’m grateful for the quality time spent with the Divine Miss B over diner eggs and toast. I’m grateful that I am back home again in my pjs now and that I don’t have anywhere else to go.  

Sunday 11/22/20 – Today I am profoundly grateful today for the rare combination of free time and awake time. Painting my chair and letting my mind go, I came to the realization that I behave as if the entire world outside is a natural disaster. It now requires such tremendous energy for me to go out and interface with the public, as I have now encountered a few situations in which I was feeling truly claustrophobic with a mask but circumstances prohibited me from removing it. Today I should be figuring out a way to get some more groceries in the house but instead I’m thinking about just making pasta and avoiding the Thanksgiving crowd. OMFG we need a vaccine for this damn virus. I’m grateful everyone I love has stayed healthy so far.
