Gratitude

Being thankful is a blessing. While I stress and fret over my daily tasks, I need to remember the fortunate outcomes at the end of the day. So... here are some of the things I find myself thankful for: my cup of cocoa at the end of the day, Ja getting the groceries and cooking dinner for me every night, when my clients are doing good at the exercise routines and have seen progress, when my boss shows me she appreciates my work... I'm thankful and grateful for all my jobs- while they keep me busy and exhausted at the end of the day and the beginning of a new one, I enjoy what I do at the time. I love my house, despite all the work I keep focusing on that I think needs to be done... I will work on this. I am grateful for my family being near and for having my cat, who loves me tremendously and can't seem to show me enough... so much I almost (but just almost) feel smothered by her at times. I am very lucky to have good, long-lasting friends, while they may be far away from me. I would not be able to do this if I did not know they were there for me, regardless of where they may live. And I'm very fortunate and thankful to have found an incredible young man to spend the rest of my life with... and thankful he will be there to help me through those times when I forget to count my blessings. I also am grateful for the holidays and can't wait to decorate the home!! -em
