 I am grateful for church this morning and the message from Chad about our work being a Marathon and not a 5k. We need to pace ourselves so we don't lose our steam.
I am grateful for spending the weekend with my dog.
I've slept better the past few nights than I have in a while... perhaps I need to visit more often or get someone to sleep next to me once in a while (as long as they don't snore).
I am grateful for all the good vibes I got from the march yesterday and my first sense of hope.
I have to believe people have more commonalities than differences.
I am also grateful for the music of Richard Bruxvoort Colligan. He did the programming at our Midwinter retreat last weekend and I've been listening to his CD this week... he does a lot of music based on the Psalms... I dig it. (who am I??)...

I am also grateful for my friend Teresa for sending me home with soup last night...it is yummy.

grateful for a better day, a brief dog visit, my crock pot, and breathing.

Work for good.

today I am grateful for a good weekend away with my camp friends and a supportive community (and the program music was terrific), my momma who helped me clean my apartment today, and finally plucking that one long hair that was growing in the odd place.

Grateful for these things:

good health insurance coverage, being able to ask for help, doing the dishes, still having a sense of humor when things are not ideal and puppies. Always puppies.

Today was better than yesterday.

I managed to sleep pretty well and then I got up this morning and taught a class.

Work was pretty slow but afterwards I went to the first thursday art walk.

I bought a piece of artwork at Zinc Contemporary by Liz Tran - 30 percent of the proceeds of the sale went to NARAL... I'm pretty psyched about that. I need to support artists and causes that are for good.

I also watched a performance at COCA and got to participate in it... that was pretty cool.

So here's what I'm grateful for.

First Thursday.
Buying artwork.
Feeling better.

Gratitude January 4, 2017

I decided not to post my list on FB today - back to just a blog post for a while.

I am grateful today that I have a good therapist and I'm not afraid to go see her.

I had an appointment today - it was good. I made it about three weeks ago and things sort of spiraled out of control the past few weeks where I was having anxiety attacks.

After my appointment today I am feeling like I might survive... my brain has quit working overtime and I have homework to do.

I'm going to take it easy for a while - do the things that will get me to a better state of mind.

See you tomorrow.
