Daily: Reflect on 5 things for which I'm grateful.

I’m grateful
that it is not just me
there is someone to go to
there is only a week and a half left
for great classes this year
for happiness at home

I’m thankful for…
being able to ask for help when I know I need it
an understanding, helpful, compassionate second grade teacher
another smooth night of homework
a safe drive to work, despite conditions, and not having to sign in late
caring co-workers

I am grateful…
that I have friends who believe in me when I don’t.
for the students who come back to say, “Thank you.”
for all the possibilities.
for a successful homework night.
that I am not alone.

Grateful…
that I’m doing this again after quite a slump
for skype
that it’s just a virus and we are all in otherwise good health
for T and P—their friendships, their experience and expertise, their support
for Chris just checking in
my girl who was so patient this weekend when she didn’t get to do anything

I’m thankful…
1. that I was able to figure out what has been wrong with my computer for the past few days.
2. that correcting the problem did not cost anything other than a little bit of time.
3. for the great session with the PT on Friday afternoon.
4. for N for watching So so that I could go to that great session on Friday afternoon.
5. for public libraries.
6. for my mom who is always there for me.
7. for the vet who has not charged me for any follow-up care.
8. for the friends who reminded me that I’m in charge.
9. for the afternoon of empowerment I felt when being assertive with someone who usually railroads me.
10.for So, even though she has been whiny for the past two days. ;-)

I’m grateful…
1. that I found a food my dog will eat, and that he ate quite a bit more today than he did yesterday (and by tomorrow I’m certain I’ll have found a way to get his meds down him!)
2. for my mom who found a way to come visit during the spring break holiday.
3. for my brother-in-law who tolerates and helps me through my computer issues.
4. for shelter and food for myself and my child.
5. that the Starbucks I went to last night still had pumpkin spice…it was an unexpected treat.

I’m grateful…
1. that my dog is finally home from the hospital.
2. that I am able to care for him and that he did eat a little bit.
3. for C who offered to bring Sophia home
4. for an afternoon well spent with friends
5. for a friend who asked me to be her backbone when she felt she needed support

I’m grateful…
1. for being able to spend time with our dog yesterday after his surgery.
2. for being able to give exams a few days early in order to have more time to correct them.
3. for students who appreciate learning.
4. for friends who call and check up.
5. for my mother who took time off of work to take care of things for me.

I’m grateful…
1. that the vet allowed me and my daughter to spend a lot of time with our dog before his surgery.
2. that our beloved dog survived his surgery.
3. that I was able to call my sister and have a conversation with her that did not include any resentment or hostility.
4. for my mother.
5. for the co-worker who covered my class so that I could spend time with my dog.

I’m grateful
1. for a compassionate veterinarian who called every hour on Saturday and admitted my dog to the hospital on a day when it was closed; who kissed my dog when I had to leave him at the hospital; who called me to give me updates on my little guy.
2. for two friends who are unfailingly there for me when I need them.
3. for a little girl.
4. to a friend who helped me see my power in being able to manifest things into my life.
5. a quiet moment and a cup of coffee.
