Gratitude

Days like this I feel like I need to sit down and count my blessings and things to be grateful for, here it goes:

I am grateful for my friend who helped me by cleaning my house even though the kids came home and trashed it and I had to clean up again, it was nice for a while and looks good now.

I am grateful that after a fairly miserable afternoon and interaction with Alex that he came up on his own and apologized for his behavior, which is something he never does. This gives me hope.

I am grateful for a puppy to lick my face and make me smile despite the chaos.

I am grateful for Julie being there just a text away supporting me though the whole sixth grade homework fiasco and reminding me to ground and breathe and ask for help from spirit. Sometimes I honestly just forget what I’m doing.

I am grateful for the guy at the Toyota dealership who sped things up and after telling me it would take 1 hour and 20 minutes for the oil change on my van, got them to push it through in 45. I love that people can actually be human and compassionate once they know what is going on.

I am grateful for Scott putting on 80’s music even though at first I was annoyed by it, it really did help to snap me out of my mood.

I am grateful for all of the people out there who are my mirrors and help me to see what I need to work on most about myself.

I am especially grateful for the few minutes I just had to sit and write this out because it really does  help me feel better.
