Hi everyone. It’s nearly 11PM as I write this. I feel motivated to write, but can’t really think of a lot to write about. However, a gratitude list is always good. I’m joining in with #TToT. It’s been forever! Let’s see what I’ve been grateful for this past week.
1. Inspiration to craft. I mentioned this yesterday too and have been claying again today. I also have many ideas floating around in my head.
2. A visit to a nearby market again. I got fried calamares at the fish stand. I also bought spicy olives.
3. The pasta salad with tuna we had yesterday. And the fact that it wasn’t used as an extra but as the main meal.
4. Sleep. I’ve been sleeping a lot over the past few days. Not always at night, but who cares?
5. Warm clothes. I’m nursing a cold, like I said yesterday, and, though I don’t have a fever, I do feel more comfy wearing warm clothes.
6. The fact that I managed to talk out a recent issue with a staff today. She tried to assign me a temp worker on Friday even though there were other options. It turned out she hadn’t fully understood the agreement.
7. The fact that I now feel at least a tiny bit comfortable with the new staff. With the latest addition to the team, I struggled a bit, but we had a good time on Thursday.
8. My mental state. I’m still experiencing anxiety on a daily basis, but it’s a lot less severe than it used to be.
9. Motivation to write. Like I said yesterday, this is a sign that my mood is improving.
10. The fact that I no longer live independently. I was reminded of the fact that I’m intensely grateful for this again this evening when my spouse called me because of stress related to our house. I feel a bit guilty for not being able to help, but at the same time I’m so glad I no longer have this responsibility, because when I did, it didn’t mean less stress for my spouse and it did mean significantly more stress for me.

I think it is good to stop and take stock of what we have to be grateful for as I think too many people do not, they take stuff and people for granted which I feel is wrong.
I am grateful that I still use the computer even if at times it is stressful and annoying due to not being able to control what my hands do.
I am grateful for my sister Sue who has become so important in my life.

Gratitude lists are always good to do. I find the more I think about doing them the more I find I am truly grateful for that I never even realized.

Sleep is a good thing, especially when you’re not feeling well. I love a good nap. Great list.

A gratitude list is a great idea, as we recognize that, despite our problems, we also have good things in our life. Being warm is important whether you have a cold or not (hope you are feeling better). As far as mental attitude, small steps are still good steps, I’ve found. Alana ramblinwitham
