Things I’m Grateful For on Wednesday 26 March
I’ve found these things to be grateful for or appreciate today:
- Getting a good night’s sleep.
- Getting up OK, despite the early morning. Having the determination to do that.
- Realising that I don’t have to accept a life I don’t want, and that I can change it.
- Breakfast cereals.
- A nice hot shower. I always feel better after one.
- I’m doing news this morning.
- I don’t have to rely on public transport to get to work, thank goodness.
- Hot coffee.
- I know I’ll feel much better once I’ve got to work.
- Clean, dry, warm clothing.
- Rescue Remedy.
- Safe, confident driving.
- Work went well. I was panicking at one point doing news. I have a sheet that I have to use that tells me what magazines ad such have to go back, and how many of each. When they printed the sheet off, they missed the column that tells me how many to return, but put instead how many we’d had of each magazine delivered. So, I was looking for 12 NME for example, but only found 2. We (or so I thought) had to return 12, I figured we’d had 10 stolen. Multiply this by the 50 or so magazines I had to return, and you can see why I was getting in a flap.
- More Red Bull. It really helps me wake up in the morning. I didn’t get so hyper today.
- Laughing with my colleagues.
- I had a nice easy day overall, because I wasn’t on the tills, so I could take my time looking for non-existent magazines…
- Tasty food. Nom nom nom. I’ve had 4 cakes today - such a pig.
- I’ve had some appreciative customers today.
- Having this high octane fuel in the car seems to be helping with the fuel economy. I think it’s because I don’t have to put my foot down quite so hard to get going.
- Hot coffee.
- Being able to choose what and when I eat.
- Wenna. I love the simple exuberance that she approaches life with.
- CardioGirl is feeling much better.
- I found £1 at work, which was cool.
- Another interesting story from GAFarmWoman.
- The traffic that Entrecard is driving to the site. I hot over 300 visitors with over 400 pageviews a day or two ago. Do you have Entrecard? Let me know, and I’ll add you to my daily drop list. Reciprocate to stay on it.
- I have time to myself, and the ability to enjoy it. One is useless without the other.
Things I’ve laughed at today:
- All sorts of things with Vicki. And Judith. And Lynn. And with Julie too.
- This funny blog posting.
Things I want to manifest:
- Change for the better. MANIFESTED.
- Positive motivation and positive encouragement. MANIFESTED.
Things I’ve done for others:
- Covered breaks for people.
- Served on the till.
Oh yes Rescue Remedy! I lurve that stuff!

March 26th, 2008 at 11:25 ami’ve been exhausted (long story)….and the puppy found another dead rat…
she ran around the yard, me behind her trying to get it from her, and would stop when i had to stop, sit and wait with it hanging out of her mouth, smiling at me with this dead rat dangling out of her puppy mouth. when i was able to move again she’d dart about, until i had to stop. then, she’d patiently wait for me.
considerate of her, wasn’t it?

March 26th, 2008 at 3:45 pmI have a shower next to my laundry room. When I have clothes left in the dryer overnight, I always turn it on as I shower so I can have warm clothes to wear. Very nice feeling and an excellent way to start my day.
Your gratefulness for Red Bull made me laugh. I have a friend who loves the stuff and I can always tell when she has consumed it. Too funny!!!

With regard to the rat, all I’m going to say is “yetch!”.
With regard to the dog, the best thing to do is to ignore her. Chasing her makes her think it’s a game, and reinforces her behaviour. Next time she plays up, ignore her and grab a ball, and make throwing motions (assuming she likes to chase balls). She’ll drop the rat and come play ball. Getting excited and chasing is what she wants.

I totally agree. My mom would do that for me when I was a kid. I used to love snowy mornings.
March 26th, 2008 at 7:15 pm(not for posting credit, that’s breaking the rules)
you are right about the chasing, and normally, that’s what i would do…throw a ball. none was about, and she was doing her best to GULP! the rat down.
you do what you gotta do.
