I actually wrote an essay that managed to reflect my ideas on an assigned subject at university.
I am sensing the capacity to move more freely within my self. Deep inner self 'wrote' the essay from the material the 'student' had provided. Grateful that the inner self is showing up and participating in this project of finding 'the words to say it'.

I have a good job!
I was reminded of how others who work as hard or even harder at their jobs do not have such great benefits offered in their place of employment.

My parents take care of my 7 month old son while I'm at work. My aunt, who lives with them, always texts me and gives me little updates about him.
Today, I really missed MJ (my son) and it was nice to hear what and how he's doing. If I get updates from her, I feel happy and elated that he's doing ok while I'm gone.

My friends Kristine, Mike and Seneca offered (out of the blue) to come by and help make a Halloween haunted house. The ST family usually does a big Halloween installation but due to busyness, we were going to cancel this year. Now that we have some help - Halloween is rescued!
A little help from friends and some extra decorations - we can continue our great Halloween tradition.

He is making me brunch.
He has showered me with mouth-watering aromas and delicious flavors...just because.

A friend I've been on the outs with helped me tarp my leaking roof, despite the tensions between us. Still feel a little icky, but this at least reminds me that everything doesn't have to be perfect in relationships.
Kept me from getting wet and prevented damage to my house.

That a volunteer group that could turn me down is instead letting me join. Compassion, empathy - they do exist still.
It reminded me that people will appreciate my worth.

The warm sun, broken clouds, blue sky, water reeds and canal on my way to the station.
I smiled and felt a warmth in my heart.

I spent time at the local art museum with a friend viewing and discussing the art work on display.
Creative expression & its pursuit inspires my own creativity. Through discussion I increase my enjoyment & expand my perceptions! It's always fun!

He let me stay at his home for free even though he hardly knew me.
I didn’t have to pay for a hotel and could enjoy a short holiday even though my finances are tight at the moment.

Every morning, my husband brings me a cup of tea. He is horrible at getting up and doing anything in the morning - but he always does this because it's something he can do, every day, to make my morning more pleasant.
Every morning, not only do I wake up to a delicious cup of tea, but I get confirmation of how much my husband loves me, and is committed to being the best husband that he can.

Today I am grateful for the love and support of my Husband. For the fact he blades off my car windows before I set off in the morning. For cuddles and kisses.
It made me feel warm and secure. I got a burst of love as he did it.

I washed in fresh clean running water
I appreciated the immense effort expended over centuries and across continents to bring me ‘ordinary’ water.

Good feeling to have this arranged and done so it is one less thing to worry about.

My Fiance "picked me up" after a hard day at work. He let me complain/vent for a minute or two and then empathized with me. Then he was really silly with me and made me laugh and forget about all of my stresses!
This cheered me up and made me let go of things that were bothering me. It also lead to the two of us having a great time together and connecting.

My husband left me for another woman.
I have more time to give myself the care that neither my parents nor my spouse chose to give.

Starting a business I'm able to work more flexible hours - longer hours, but on the things that I want to.
It reminded me that even though it's difficult to get everything done in the time frame that I want, I have the privilege of having the chance to work on something that is important to me and do it in my time.

I saw a really sweet post on Instagram from my cousin Dan about how great Colorado is
It made me so happy to live here. Sometimes I'll look out the window and I honestly can't believe I got so lucky. This place is incredible. Truly.
