even when it is someone else's idea! I am grateful for an interview this morning. It is a management position at our center for women. It is a step up! I am grateful for being considered as I had seen the internal post and passed over it thinking I needed more time with the company before moving up. Others shared their confidence in my abilities and their true and deepest desires to not lose me. It is only an interview. I am grateful for this.
If hired, this position is in management. If hired, this would mean the ugly storm of uncertainty would no longer be looming over anyone. A nice little bow to put on the situation and quiet everyone and silience everything surrounding the thunderous noises produce by HR. The waves I have created would be mere ripples in the waters of job descriptions and required degrees/licensures. The storm would be over and future contestants will be fully pedigreed and have appropriate licenses. I am grateful for having served a purpose.
I am so grateful for the support from coworkers, friends, supervisors, and the executive leadership team for making the time to review my transcripts alongside the stste statutes and national accreditation standards to make them fit, if possible. It is really comforting to have a lot of people rallying for me to stay with outpatient services. I absolutely do not want to leave. I absolutely want to work with my company and serve my community. I absolutely am grateful for the unwavering confidence other have in me. My best friend has listened and supported me this week and has been such a rockstar supporter 
.
I am grateful for being given time to absorb these ideas, challenges, and changes.
Lil Man and Lucy were grateful for finally being served their regular diet. Lil Man is still being so mean to Lucy. He seriously cannot stand her presence 
. She is getting better at ignoring him and carrying on with her intentions 
instead of standing still and barking back at his huffs and gruffs. I absolutely adore them and their 
love!!
I am grateful that my best friend chose to reach out late last night. She is struggling with parenting her 8 year old and all that comes with that. She is a fantastic parent and is attentive to the social emotional needs of her kiddo. She is smart and proactive. She actually understands that parenting is verb not a noun. I appreciate and am grateful for her asking for strategies to assist her when she recognizes behavior patterns that are not going to produce a productive adult if not dealt with.
I am grateful the dentist can see me today. I am struggling with a tooth that has now decided to waiver in its place.
In all of lifing and adulting this week, I am grateful for being sober. I am grateful for having absolutely no desire to drink. The mere thought of drinking actually makes me feel sick. CBT at its best!!!
Almost there! Grateful for being one day closer to 2 years sober! One more day that being strong and steady in my journey is proving that recovery does happen and is happening day by day.
Sober. Stong. Grateful.
