The gratitude I feel today is a direct result of the work I did yesterday.
•I’m grateful for Karli waking up early to take headshots of me for my new role.
•I’m grateful we got one picture that I liked. I’ll use it for everything for the next five years or until my appearance changes dramatically enough to prompt a new one.
•I’m grateful my new boss wants to share my hiring internally and on social media. It makes me feel loved and appreciated.
•I’m grateful a colleague picked up a couple of shifts for me, so I don’t have to work six of the next seven days.
•I’m grateful that I finally got to make that cringy “the green banner is down” post on LinkedIn. I don’t think mine is cringy, but I assume everyone always feels that way.
•I’m grateful for breakfast with my best friend.
•I’m grateful that the mornings are still nice and cool. This morning was absolutely perfect.
•I’m grateful that I have time for naps, especially since I haven’t been sleeping well lately.
•I’m grateful that I usually sleep so well.
•I’m grateful for the sounds of dogs snoring, birds chirping, and coffee brewing.
Self-will is as fragile as fine china. We need to be more like Tupperware than fine china — we’ll last longer and be invited to more dinner parties.
