Practicing Gratitude

I know I just posted that I'd take my own problems over anyone else's, but upon further reflection I think if I found some guy who's complaining that his biggest problem is that his wife's sex drive is tiring him out, I'd like to trade with him for a day.

Or a week.

Or even a month, if he likes.

You know, just to see how it feels.

 

I'm grateful that I have a job, and I'm going to get some training for the first time in years. Little things. Starting small.

 

I'm grateful that the sun is shining and it's gym day. I'm hopeful that working out will take away this splitting migraine. I'll be very grateful for that if it happens.

I'll bet they'll be so delighted to see you too!

 

From my FB as about to head out but don't want to forget gratitude check in... Am I happy yes I am. I did not know it was possible to feel this good after a bad pain day! Yesterday was intense bone pain where one of the screws are, I could not even leave the bedroom, we had dinner in here. Today, that pain is not there, AT ALL! Freaking amazing and I'm sooooo grateful! Will be gentle with that leg though as it is my best leg. Lol. The one I hope to get to keep forever, its twin though, man that sucker is a pain in the...shin. Yeah. Shin.

 

We had a wedding shower for one of my coworkers at my job the other day and the next day we were talking another coworker said that her husband was amazed that kind of thing went on at work. He had never worked somewhere that supported their employees like that.
I'm grateful to work someplace where people genuinely care about each other, like being around each other and like what they are doing.

 

That is really heartwarming @redravin !

 

I'm grateful for last night <3 , new friends, old friends, Rocky Horror Picture Show, lots of hugs, humor, being able to laugh at my sillyass self even in a painfully awkward situation, my crutches and very much wheels, also being able to talk vegan cooking and share things with one of my favorite living painters!
