The Grateful Thread

Just grateful

Grateful to be breathing.
Enjoying life
working.

Because my client called and cancelled, I was able to take a lunch for the first time in a few months and check on my turtles at the city park. How neat is that?!


They did have a bad habit of swimming away from me every time they see me but today I came with food ammo. :laugh:

I am grateful for a fresh start in my life in t-2 weeks.

I am grateful that, soon, I will cross the stage to get my diploma from the man that told me four times this past semester that I failed.

I am thankful for Zenchi, and his putting me in line and giving me a sense of perspective over and over again. I am all the better for it.

I am grateful for friends that have let me crash at their place for the past month to get my affairs sorted before the puddle jump.

I am grateful this place has been so serene of late. Calm water makes it easier to see the land on the horizon.

I am grateful for Arisaig, a brilliant friend who's had my back in so many "LIVE: IP Study Hall" sessions, and his devotion to making newcomers here feel welcome. He has a lot of patience in answering newcomer's questions (including my own) and I wish him all the very very best in the puddle jump. I look forward to an in-person meet up hopefully not too much later too.

Right now, I'm grateful for my shoes. After a long day of work my feet are aching and to think about walking out on hot concrete with my bare feet makes them especially more tingly! Thank you, shoes, for keeping my feet protected and tender.

Today, I am very grateful for this community, and the ease of access I have to it. It's here, whenever I want to meet with my friends. It may be digital, but you're there, living your Jedi lives in your own Jedi ways, and that makes me feel all warm inside like nothing else

I'm grateful for having work, full time work,in a job I literally can't stop loving. I'm grateful for wonderful customers, I'm grateful for the bad ones too,and I'm grateful for how quickly they make a full time shift fly by.

Grateful that even terrible endings open up a world of new beginnings!

I am grateful for my waterproof coat. It is very very very wet today, and I would be too, if I did not have one, or it was not in good condition. Thank you, coat.
