Grats

I am grateful:

1. The calm I do have, despite everything going on.
2. That I do my morning work.
3. That I was a tremendous help to M yesterday
4. That I did manage to get my schedule up for the day we return
5. And I have the week off now!
6. That the laptop is working. (It almost wasn’t)
7. That on the way home yesterday, after feeling really nervous, I had this tremendous acceptance. Like, “I’ll be as smart as possible and get good help, and after that, what comes of it all comes of it all, period.” Regarding J and the money and my mother.
8. And everything, really.
9. That looking forward to some time soon with Thich Nhat Hahn is helping me so much
10. That I’m feeling the power in my hands again. Like the Reiki and spirituality through my hands. I am special this way.
11. I’m grateful for this life. Life, crazy life. But it’s nice to be here.
12. And that I’m able.
13. Able to think
14. To work
15. To walk
16. To see
17. To speak
18. To eat
19. To drink
20. To exercise
21. To breathe. All of these things on my own.
22. Will get passport stuff going today. Nervous about doing it! But can. Can. (I think I can).
23. Plus, I will feel so much better afterward.
24. I think, unlike last time, I will do the report cards asap rather than later. Get them over with.
25. And try to enjoy. Because as Thich Nhat Hahn says, “Life is only available in the present moment.” So I WANT *this * moment.
