So grateful for my manager who is so understanding when it comes to me having to take time off or adjust my schedule with my son.

So grateful that my son's school is so caring and helpful. My son became ill this morning and they took such good care of him until I picked him up.
I felt as ease knowing that he was being cared for so well.

First day taking public transportation to work (used to twice a day before the pandemic). For me it's a huge step towards returning to normalcy.
I'm grateful that the trains were ontime, there was plenty of social distancing, and mask wearing.

It's a reminder that I have choices and options on how to get to work.

My in-laws take care of my kids two days a week so that I can work full time and not have the kids in daycare full time. At a moment's notice, they are available to cover when the school closes for COVID safety, or for any other reason. And they clean up my house whenever they are there. They are remarkable.
My kids are happy and secure and safe. My house is picked up. I do not have to take unplanned time off of work.

I had lunch on my birthday with someone very dear. I was overwhelmed afterwards and I still am that I am surrounded by good friends. Even though a lot of my friendships have suffered and been stressed over the last three years, I am so grateful to have people who care about me.
It reminded me that I'm never alone.

Walks us to the car every morning when I take our son to school.
Doing this makes me feel loved and appreciated.

Grateful for all of the rain overnight. I hope the water is able to be absorbed deep into the earth, and that the water flows to all the places it's needed the most. Finally, I hope this rain can clean us, of the dirt and cobwebs that are distracting for our full beauty.

I presided over a ceremony about letting your troublesome feelings go and letting the waters of baptism cleanse the release of the feelings to God. When it was over a nurse came to me with tears in her eyes and thanked me for doing the ceremony. She felt that God had meant for her to be there at that time. I was thanked and hugged.
My benefit of this ceremony was feeling the importance of letting people have the opportunity to express their thoughts and feelings that weigh heavy on their minds. I am grateful I had the opportunity to provide this service to the unit staff.

So grateful to have the opportunity to go into debt!
I've been lucky that covid has not affected my job or income. That means I can afford much-needed repairs to my old house. Thankful to have a stable income.

A was appreciative and grateful to me for exploring deep emotional terrain with him.
It was good to receive his thanks, it was an acknowledgement of the risk in vulnerability that I took.

Despite being ill and not a whole lot of fun, I managed to set aside an hour today to make some art with my 4 y/o daughter. She was so pleased to have that time with me that she threw her arms around my neck, kissed my cheek, and thanked me for painting with her.
It was probably the most effective medicine I've had today.

Two people solicited my opinion regarding home remodeling and an art piece for their home, my son and my former boss.
It was an acknowledgement of who I am and the value they place on my design and decorating skills.

Jillian Holmberg is always helpful, knows just what I need, and is highly effective at her job - I almost never have to cover for her, and certainly do not have to pick up any slack!
I am seen and known and cared for. I can focus on my own work instead of being distracted. She makes me feel likeable and competent.

I have always felt grateful that during the pandemic I have been able to continue to work and support my family. So many lost their jobs and being able to continue to work has been a blessing.
I has allowed me to continue to support my family and not have to deal with the added stress of looking for a job and worrying about being able to support my family.

I drove around in the car that my friend let me borrow and went and treated myself to a coffee. I drove by the ocean and listened to youtube on my phone. I walked around my family's neighborhood and took some photos with my phone.
It reminded me that life is still happening, people are still working, smiling and living. It helped me to get out of the house and see that there is a whole world to be a part of. It was nice to get outside and feel the breeze, that helped my peace of mind a little bit to remember that I am a part of the living breathing planet and society we are in and on. Speaking to my sponsee helped me to remember that it is not all about us and all about controlling experiences in order to prove something or be seen a certain way. I felt a part of society when I went out for a coffee, remembering that I am one of many people living a life, albeit imperfectly.
