I am grateful to have made it through some health difficulties while I was working last night, and for whatever rest I could get before doing it again. Sometimes I just don't know how late I'll be working and the fatigue catches up with me.
Grateful to get some food in me, I think that's what had me dragging towards the end of last night.
Grateful that the dog has lots of energy, at least one of us does!

Grateful for times of play, taking the seriousness out of life and having bursts of enjoyment and the fulfillment of relationships with good people.
Grateful to be able to get outdoors today where it's cooler and also to have a brief visit with my daughter and her fiance as I pass through their town.

Tonight I'm greatful for:
-being able to visit my grandma in her care home, it's been hard to get in there since covid.
-some quality time with my partner while our son was at school-the new jacket I got today
-the fact my partner was off work meaning we could use the car for the school run which saved me getting soaked!
-family time this evening having fun playing about with modelling balloons whilst we watched movies
-the fact it's Friday

Grateful for a rainy Saturday and a trip to the movies. Grateful for the city bus and subway. I love not having to drive. Grateful for some plant success -i definitely don't have a green thumb but occasionally something thrives. Grateful to not do any work today.

Grateful for places where kindness and respect is shown.
Grateful to always be in a position where I meet new people.
Grateful to have a few hours at home in this morning, I've been away from here a lot lately and it brings on a feeling of loneliness at times.
AutumnTree, your day of not working sounds wonderful

Grateful for my fan in the window. An east-facing apartment with zero ventilation and a fan is 😛 sooooo nice.

Whoooo Zen, yep East facing windows are great.

I had a bit of a rough day so this won't be long.

I'm grateful for getting a couple of stumps in my yard sawed out. I love working with a chainsaw. Fun stuff.

Time to but today in the past.

Good to have you Samwich. The more the merrier.

I spent a happy day hauling around flagstones and setting them in my flower garden. Now I'm pleasantly sore and tired and for this I am grateful.

Grateful that my wife and stepdaughter could take a trip to Mexico for a few days, and that I can work from home today to take care of our new puppy while they're gone.
Grateful to take some online training modules last night so I could transition from parking lot attendant to security at one of my event jobs.

Good evening all.

I'm grateful for
- keys that let you lock your car door remotely (it is so nice to check it is locked before bed. Bears are out and about)
- a sticky roll tonight that tasted so good
- a fun little carpentry project I worked on today
- getting to help out my neighbors - it makes me feel like part of the community

Peace to you all tonight.
