Hey folks, it’s been a pretty positive, relaxing day, but the last few minutes just hit me super sideways, just as I was about to write in my journal, and… I’m… quite irritated. Add that to the fact that it’s 9:37, and I’m just gonna call it a night.
Scheduling. Chores. Cars to fix. Grocery shopping. Home.
#1. I’m grateful to have had the last job be a fairly straightforward one today, with the one immediately prior kicking my little rear. Nice to end the day on something that was mostly just straightforward and straight billable time.
…it’s really hard to think of things I’m grateful for in the space I’m in right now. I just completely… went from happy and positive or whatever, to quite irritated and… angry, honestly. Got caught pretty off guard by something, and… yeah…
Oh well. Gonna try and tough out another four. Probably need to do that pretty badly right now given where I’m at.
#2. I’m grateful to have another day off with tomorrow being Sunday.
#3. I’m grateful to have had a good conversation with my brother Richard today. He’s got Covid, but seems to be on the mend.
#4. I’m grateful for a beautiful day today. It was around 60 degrees and not windy that I can recall, so it was just… nice.
#5. I’m grateful for the luxury of having food everywhere. So easy to buy. So easy to store. So easy to cook. So easy to eat. It’s quite the luxury.
Well, there you go. I’m worried about my finger, a tiny bit. It’s not really getting any better now. Every night it regresses, so I wake up in the morning back at square one. If I gently bang my knuckle on something, it hurts like the dickens–stop-whatever-you’re-doing-and-kind-of-hold-your-breath-and-grimace-for-a-while pain. The bone is all intact, of course, but things are messed up, otherwise. That’s a little… sobering.
Speaking of sober… add another day. 13 now. But quite a dangerous way to end the day.
Thought of the Day: “Love chooses to believe the best about people. It gives them the benefit of the doubt. It refuses to fill in the unknowns with negative assumptions. And when our worst hopes are proven to be true, love makes every effort to deal with them and move forward. As much as possible, love focuses on the positive.”
~ Stephen Kendrick
The gratitude and the thought of the day are helping to humble me… helping to lift my perspective.
Lift the World.
