It’s been one of those days. As if the Himself sitch wasn't enough, work has sucked golfballs the last few weeks (yeah, pretty much ever since the praise from the boss). I need to force myself to find the sunbeam…
+ Warm feet. It took me 44 years to appreciate the value of wearing slippers but I finally get it.
+ Being told that my oldest niece brags about having pretty hands “like Auntie Vi.”
+ Noticing teeny, tiny little improvements in my energy level now that I’ve been going to the gym for a month. And maybe even some upper arm strength - I didn't even know I had arm muscles.
+ Knowing that I have options and knowing that I can take all the time I want to consider each and every one.
+ Chocolate chip cookies.
+ The security and comfort of unconditional love. I have two sisters and one best friend who always listen, always respect how I feel (even when it's the 17th day in a row when I've felt pouty and mad and stupid and weepy), and always respond with loving honesty.
It's amazing how quickly this little exercise works...oh, look - there's the sun!
keep pluggin......just step away from the chocolate chip cookies!!
ReplyDeleteKeep going - it gets better and better!
ReplyDeleteSlippers! The adoration of your niece! Arm muscles! Vi, all these things trump some jerk wad guy. And I'm proud of you for coming up with a list when you didn't particularly want to.
ReplyDeleteSlippers are a great thing....I never stay home without em!
ReplyDeleteChocolate chip cookies...a to the men.
ReplyDeleteCan I just echo everything that Green Girl said?
ReplyDeleteTrey - the chocolate chip cookies are keeping me on *this* side of crazy right now...maybe it's a girl thing. ;)
ReplyDeleteFannie - I'm learning that you are right! I had a good workout yesterday, I love it when that happens.
Thanks, Greenie - my head knows you are right. Making the list is part of the work to get my head on the same page.
Julie - I hate wearing shoes and/or socks so this is a huge concession...but a good one!
Lindy - high five, sister!
Stephanie - Yeah, ok, fine! I know, I know...you guys are right. I'll get there.
