Things I’m Grateful For on Friday 22 February

Things I am thankful for or that I’ve appreciated today:

  1. It’s a week until payday. :banana:
  2. Getting 8 hours sleep. It seems that 8 hours is the minimum I need. I’d like to find out how I can mix it up, by getting 2 hours in one set and then 6 in another. That would be a useful trick to know.
  3. Being able to see. :cucumber:.
  4. I have a job to go to, which makes me financially solvent. Looking back, when I left school, the thought of getting a job petrified me. Now, I’m very blasé about the whole thing.
  5. Breakfast cereals. They make my life so much easier.
  6. A nice warm shower. I always feel better afterwards.
  7. I have fuel in the car, which makes life so much easier, too. :)
  8. All being well, I’m off for 3 days after today. At the very least it will be 2. :dill:
  9. Mom bought me a coin sorter, which will let me save £100. Having this is going to make me feel very wealthy. :carrot:
  10. Today will be a quiet day for news.
  11. The alarm on my phone. I’d never get up without it.
  12. Realising that I want to get some photographs of sunlight and shadows.
  13. Realising that I’m a powerful manifestor.
  14. Safe driving.
  15. Work went OK. I got the news done in record time, and spent the rest of the morning faffing about.
  16. I was confident doing the claims, something that normally freaks me out.
  17. I seem to be handling the job better now than I was. Getting enough sleep seems to be vitally important, though.
  18. Tasty food - 2 Gregg’s chicken bakes, and a delicious sandwich. And some Whole Earth Cola (which is absolutely divine!). And some tasty cereal bars, which I’ve eaten most of already.
  19. The afternoon shift wasn’t too bad. I cocked the till up a few times, but I think I sorted it out eventually.
  20. All the laughing and joking I’ve done today.
  21. The working week is over until Tuesday morning - I have a 3 day weekend! :chili:
  22. My feet didn’t ache too much. And they’ve completely stopped hurting now.
  23. Free cheesecake! Julie’s hubby bought some in, and she shared it out.
  24. NYR done - I’ve drank 1L of water.
  25. I’ve really been aware of hunger vs. appetite tonight.
  26. Interesting blogs to read. However did I cope without my feed reader? :lol:
  27. I dealt with several numpties quite calmly and efficiently. I’m surprised and quite heartened that I can do this. :broccoli:
  28. Realising that anger can be a healthy emotion, and that it is OK to feel it. I wonder what other “obvious” things I take for granted?
  29. I’m not hungry.
  30. A nice long hot bath. Cypress and Rosewood, which have chilled me out after a long day, without making me sleepy. Very pleasant. I must get some Clary Sage, for the euphoric effect. I wonder what it would be nice blended with? Lavender? Perhaps some Palmarosa to cut through the heaviness.
  31. Playing with Wenna. She’s slowly learning how to shake with the correct paw, that being the paw closest to the hand that is being extended.

Things I’ve laughed at today:

  1. Laughing with Lynn, Judith, Julie and Vicki. And probably with Ann too.

Things I want to manifest:

  1. A quick, easy, simple day at work, with some satisfaction. MANIFESTED.

Things I’ve done for others:

  1. Served on the till.
  2. Complimented Vicki.

    Another great list. I have read that breaking your sleep up into shorter intervals isn’t as good as getting 8 hours all at once.

    I heard that too, but then I read about polyphasic sleep, where you nap for 20 minutes several times a day. Apparently, Leonardo da Vinci used to do it.

    Short interval naps remind me of college, and when I worked in the hospital….they often made me feel a bit run down after a while.

    Enjoy your days off!!!

    Thank you, I’ll certainly try. I think I might go to the river, and perhaps get some pictures of the ducks. Then again, I might just stay in bed all day. :lol:

    Quite possibly. :lol: That’s another reason I’d be an unsuitable parent - I like my bed too much, and need a certain amount of sleep.
