Not one person, but a whole organization. I am grateful toward UAW, which is a nation-wide union, for stepping up to voice the concerns of the members. The union is striving to get fair contracts from UC for academic workers. Uniting to voice concern does not even seem possible in many other states.
The union's effort made me participate in the strike and feel hopeful that a change is possible.

I volunteered to do their task as I saw then cutting the thin shim plate wrongly. After cutting all 8 sheets which more straight and squared, I handed then their requirement in the least possible time and in the most safest way.
Grateful . . . . someone in need who is not normally doing the task can have accident if they are not careful with how they are doing the task. Volunteering for the task gives me assurance that the task will be safe and injury free.

I walked into my morning meeting and she had a cup of tea sitting at my spot. She brought the tea from home and made it at work for us both.
It made me feel appreciated and important and made my meeting that much better with every sip.

Feeling grateful for having tasted scones after mlre than a half year later than I would have expected, and they were amazing.
JD said today I might have been born in the wrong generation for liking blink so much. May be, but I also feel grateful zbout the current pop punk wave, because blink and Sum made me miss this sound in my own years, and that I have found it almost two years ago, has been the best music Ive listened to, grateful for being on the wave and it's not done yet

I have a fair amount of tumult happening in my life right now, with lots of outcomes dependent on other outcomes. It's a time of uncertainty. But this morning as I was doing yoga, I noticed the sunlight streaming through the window in this little room I'm in. And I was so grateful that I am in a safe place, a comfortable place, a place that I can stay in while my husband and I sort things out that doesn't feel like a burden.
It feels like a gift. It's a gift to be staying here in this place and to be welcomed and graced with sunshine and promise.

Yesterday traffic was really bad so I just talked to my mom in the car for most of the time. I enjoyed talking to her
I had something to do in the car and my mom is interesting to talk to

Yesterday, when I picked Ingrid up from daycare, a number of teachers (that I didn't know) said good-bye to her by name.
Starting your kid at a new daycare can be hard and unsettling - you have no idea what's going on there! Hearing that other teachers at school already know her by name and were making her (and me) feel welcome made me feel really good about her being there.

I believe I'm getting sick, but I just feel exhausted and that's the best kind of sickness. I just have to sleep, and I enjoy sleeping.
I will rest a lot and hopefully I won't get too sick.

November gratitude #3: I’m grateful to be able to joyfully read again. In 2020-21, I was not able to read for pleasure; it felt like being dropped into a well. Today, I seem to have returned to pre-pandemic reading levels, and I am so, so grateful for that.
In this picture, you see current/recent reads, or at least the ones that were still hanging around my bedside. Right at the moment, I’m bouncing between Middlemarch and Michael Moorcock’s The End of All Songs.

I have nothing original or interesting to say about the benefits of reading. It takes me to other times and places and selves, and so helps me to think about my own time and place and self. There's a social dimension as well; I talk about what I'm reading with partners and friends, and we often share books with each other, which helps us to find and build commonalities.

They are taking good care of me.
I don't have to risk exposure to Covid and flu because they bring me what I need.

A ton of delicious food a recent friends-giving -- all of it home made and time with fiends enjoying it.
I got to taste a bunch of people's vegetarian takes on thanksgiving classics, plus some things that were totally new to me for the holiday like home-made mochi, hand pies, and 'meat'balls made with eggplant. For someone who loves to cook it was very inspiring :)
Plus we all got to spend some QT together.

We have recently moved in to a temporary living situation in the downstairs furnished apartment of a couple's home. The couple, our landlords, have been so generous with their time and space in welcoming us and making us feel at home here. I am so grateful to have landed with such warm, generous, good people.
Our hosts have dramatically reduced the stress we were feeling as we are trying to transition to a new permanent home in a new town.

Anna had to leave early this morning to take the train to Seattle, so I was on my own getting both kids up and out the door for school. I came downstairs and found coffee made, with a sweet note from my sweetie.
Having coffee ready made my morning go more smoothly, so I could just focus on making breakfast and getting the kids dressed.

In my absence at work, my technician has helped me attend the jobs that I should have done myself.
Aside from completing task on time, he has also learned new techniques on how to close work orders and book man hours.

I could say that this is someone that I do not know; however, this is someone that my significant other and I just met (virtually) today. My boyfriend and I had our first live couples therapy session today and it has given me so much hope for our future. I am grateful to our new therapist and people in this field for helping us and so many like us regain the love in our relationships. Thank you! <3
With her help I believe that my relationship with my boyfriend can someday thrive like it used to.

My granddaughter is a very strong and healthy child. She has not been sick since this time last year. She is sick now, and we are sad to see her this way. But we are not worried, and that is a miraculous gift. Our little one will be fine. I am so, so grateful.
I feel such love and happiness whenever I think about my granddaughter, and when I am with her.

This morning my partner M thanked me for making another relationship of hers possible (we're polyamorous).
This kind of "thanks" is very affirming of our own relationship and our choices. It tells me that she sees our interdependence, and my intentions and efforts on her behalf.

Nos encontramos después de muchos años y ha sido una experiencia muy cariñosa, agradezco los buenos recuerdos, el cariño con el que me recuerda y la posibilidad de ofrecerle también un recuerdo cariñoso.
Me ayudan a recordar que es en la memoria de las personas donde podemos ver la huella que hemos dejado y me motiva a seguir siendo una persona positiva

Driving Paula home from the Singh Meadows.
I believe she was appreciative. It was fun to see her neighborhood.
