Day 37
Count your blessings. Make a
list of ten blessings. Write why
you’re grateful. Reread your list, and at the end of each blessing say thank you, thank you, thank you, and
feel as grateful for that blessing as you can.
Thank you thank you thank you!
I am truly blessed to have
awakened this morning to the birdsong outside, before I would have awakened to
the alarm,
because it was such a pleasant
wake to awaken.
Thank you thank you thank you!
I am so happy and grateful for
being grateful when I first woke up,
because it is the most
wonderful way to start the day.
Thank you thank you thank you!
I am truly grateful for
getting so much better – almost fully there,
because I am loving these deep
breaths!
Thank you thank you thank you!
With all my heart, thank you
for being strong enough last night,
because J and I were going to see each other but he
had his phone on vibrate and didn’t hear when I called as he’d asked me to at
5:30. An hour and 15 minutes later, when he called me, I said, quarter to seven
after working sick all week, is a little late on a Sunday night for me. And I
knew I did the right thing. Because it wasn’t worth it feeling worse all week
to have tea with J while exhausted and nervous no less. And because I didn’t
necessarily want him to think I drop everything for any crumb. And because I WOULD do a lot for him,
but this wasn’t necessary and I made that decision. Mostly because I felt fine
about my decision. It wasn’t angry or to make a point (although that was a
decent side effect). It was self-advocacy. Putting my health first. Yay!
Thank you thank you thank you!
I am truly blessed to have
this particular job to go to each day
because not only do I help
others, but it is not beyond my abilities, AND I get treated like a human. Ma
had horrible stories yesterday about the treatment at her course. I am very
lucky.
Thank you thank you thank you!
I am so happy and grateful for
the fact that I had a great night’s sleep,
because it is refreshing,
refueling and healthy!
Thank you thank you thank you!
I am truly grateful for paying
all my bills on time all these years,
because besides the fact that
it gets done, it proves that I CAN do it!
Thank you thank you thank you!
With all my heart, thank you
for everything in my morning,
because I actually have life –
and was grateful to have it this am when awakened yay – breath, sight, ability
to walk, coffee, home, birds, tv, computer, trees in leaf outside window,
safety, so much opportunity in a day!
Thank you thank you thank you!
I am so incredibly fortunate
and lucky and grateful for love of all kinds in my life, because romantic love,
friendship love, family love, “pets” love, the love of children, and universal
love, all are wonderful! I am so fortunate!
Thank you thank you thank you!
I am so incredibly fortunate
and lucky and grateful for my car,
because I can so easily get to
work stores and mother and friends and library ….
Thank you thank you thank you!
Thank you thank you thank you!
