serving our community has just opened and I am definitely grateful for this. I think I have somehow broken a rib. No impact. Just the feeling of a "roll" and a "pop" when I move and sit down. The pain 
is really intense. I am grateful for being on admin leave for the moment while things get sorted with HR on this new position so if I have to be horizontal for a few days, I won't be using any PTO.
I am grateful for my Mary Kay lady's talent! She has created beautifully 
packaged gifts for my kiddos to celebrate the birth of Gemma Kate and to celebrate the 22nd birthday of my little bad#$$ youngest daughter 
! I am having her package small lipglosses for my leadership team for being so good to me during these uncertain days.
I am grateful for her deals with purchases, so I get some pampering products at half off for myself. 
I am grateful for the OTC Tylenol, Advil, and Excedrin Back and Body. Getting older truly is a challenge for my back and body.
I am grateful for Ms Anne checking in on me. At 79 she understands, but I promise you she is able to work circles around me. She mows my grass and weed eats the front sidewalk! She is truly an inspiration 
!
I am grateful for the long conversation with my best friend! I know we talk everyday for a short bit, however, when she is child free we talk for hours! I love this and am grateful. It is amazing that these conversations can happen anytime NOW. Before 2 yrs ago she would only be able to have conversation with me before noon on a weekend day or before 5 during the week due to my use of alcohol. It is great to be sober! I am feeling so much happier. Making it, living it, doing it, life, is a boost to my brain! I also know, scientifically proven, writings of gratitude every day changes us. I am benefiting from this as I can tell the difference in my overall thoughts and emotions.
I am grateful for Lil Man and Lucy. I have been shaping some behaviors! It is working. So, old dogs can learn new tricks.
I am grateful for being invited to our local Derby Day. I am, unfortunately not going 
. I appreciate being invited. At least I will have my hat for the contest next year.
I am super stoked and grateful for this rainy and COOLER day. It feels so good!! Grateful for the sound of the rain on the rooftop.
Sober and grateful and strong!
