Daily: Reflect on at least 5 things for which I'm grateful (Happiness Manifesto #2) (read all 215 entries…)

Where does the time go?! End of October already? Oh dear…

Today I am grateful for:
1. Clean sheets and the transformation a switch of the duvet cover makes.
2. NPR. I learned about a ton today, just by waking up to it.
3. Things that make you say, “Small world!” I met a woman who worked in the exact same village as my sister did six years ago.
4. My grandpa. His legacy has made it so J and I have little to worry about. Thank you, Grandpa.
5. Another morning gratitude of Honey Nut Cheerios! :)

Today I am grateful for:
1. Figuring out that if I take a whole day off from work, and make it a Thursday, then when I wake up on Friday, it feels like Monday, and I can say, “Oh no, it’s Friday,” and be that much more thrilled with the day! It’s like two weekends in a row. Wow.
2. Writing handwritten letters. (I wrote a whole bunch!)
3. Taking an online paper clutter class for the second time around. I’m much more committed this time, and the progress is overwhelming!
4. My hubby. He’s been really supportive the last few days. He had been super-stressed, which makes him inwardly focused and crabby, but he’s been breaking out of that mold and feeling more secure and confident.
5. Herbal Essence Shampoo. I switched back after – I dunno, four years?, and it’s great! It was cheap, it cleaned out all the built-up gunk, and it smells awesome. I never knew shampoo could make me so happy.
6. Things continue to go pretty well at work. My new boss and I are really working as a team, and that feels good.
7. It is really Friday!

Today I am grateful for:
1. Sleeping in.
2. A fun trip to DC last weekend.
3. Smooth transitions at work.
4. The raise. I’m still thrilled about this one. I believe it’s my first REAL raise.
5. The morning to do whatever I want.
6. The afternoon to work for a little, but then do more of whatever I want. (Part-time has its perks.)
7. Big down comforters. Last night was cool enough to pull it back out. (The cat loved it, too.)
8. Feeling very content in my life.
