Things I’m Grateful For on Sunday 6 July

Today’s list of things to be grateful for or appreciate:

  1. Getting a good night’s sleep.
  2. A nice hot shower.
  3. Getting up in time to get to my mechanic’s place.
  4. Today’s broccoli goes to the fact that I made it there. :broccoli: My mechanic showed me the brake part, and it looks like someone’s dog has chewed it up. I’ll try to get some pictures up later.
  5. He’s jury-rigged it so I have some brakes, but they freak me out when I use them, because they’re very spongy, and my foot goes almost to the floor, so I think I’m going to be catching the bus for the next week and a half. Still, at least I can catch a bus to work. At least there is one to catch.
  6. Playing with Tess (my mechanic’s dog). She’s a little Staffie cross, who loves to chase a ball. It was raining while I was there, and she was pithering about trying to find somewhere dry to hide while the rain was coming down.
  7. Keeping fairly dry while it was tipping it down.
  8. Watching a canal boat go past.
  9. Not using too much fuel, especially on the way back.
  10. It’s going to go in to be fixed properly in a weeks time, and I have the money to pay for it. :chili:
  11. Not having to eat a meal with the family.
  12. Having a nice nap this afternoon. Odd dreams.
  13. Seeing some Sparrows flitting about in the garden. I envy them.
  14. Realising that I might be heading down.
  15. That I have more chances to succeed in this country that I’m in than I might have in some others.
  16. Playing with Wenna.
  17. Realising that things outside of me will not make me happy or sad or excited or depressed. It’s the attachment I have to those things that makes me feel [whatever].
  18. All the things I’m not scared of. Yeah, I am a nellie when it comes to certain things, but most things in life don’t phase me.
  19. Hot fruit tea.
  20. Reading Women On Fire.

Things I’ve laughed at today:

Things I want to manifest:

  1. A new job.

Things I’ve done for others:

    Hey Sol - just wondering, why did you feel grateful for “not having to eat a meal with the family” today? Why are ‘family meals’ a chore for you? I don’t enjoy eating with my family either but my reasons are probably different from yours - I just wondered what your reasons are. (God i’m nosy, lol)
    Wishing you a fab Monday!

    It’s not just family, I dislike eating in front of anyone. :)

    I’m the same Sol. I prefer to eat on my own/ in secret than to have people seeing me stuff my face, lol. I have a so-called ‘eating disorder’. Food makes me feel fat, grubby, anxious n’ blue. obviously i’m grateful for it coz’ it keeps me and my loved ones alive, but i can’t appreciate it. I can’t wait until i can start including it in my ‘things to be grateful for’ lists, like you do! At the mo i can only feel grateful for Coffee - food makes me miserable.

    Hope you have a good week.
