#2019GratefulChronicles - Today, I’m grateful for second chances to figure things out. I’ve certainly needed my fair share from my parents and a friend or two. I don’t tend to give up on people easily, so I easily give second chances. I get it if you’re not up for it, but forgiveness and a willingness to look at a situation and sit down and figure out where things went wrong and having honest discussions is something I’m always in favour of and welcome when I mess up. #life #grateful https://www.instagram.com/p/BsRDoIihtAV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1sk1kfpierd3m

#2019GratefulChronicles - Tom Kha Gai. (Not my photo). Had some of this last night - my go-to chicken soup when I am not feeling well. I also got a reminder that my body needs to readjust to canned coconut milk. I honestly think that’s why I’m feeling so much better, though. #365grateful #365gratefulproject #practicegratitude https://www.instagram.com/p/BsensAmhEyU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=p4jm1ws3ieq2

#2019GratefulChronicles - I have been unable to breathe for the past few days as my body fights off a cold. My neighbor (not Mr. Rogers) helped out yesterday, but my brain was in a fog. Today, I’m grateful for modern medicine and herbal remedies, teas, and ginger. I’m still fighting and getting better. At least I have some energy today. Also had a good meeting this afternoon. #begrateful #yearofgratefulness #365grateful https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsbyt83BD7A/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=woit442q389i

#2019gratefulchronicles I hit a stumbling block last night. I realized how much a former friend of mine betrayed me. Worse, she chose to do so with information I confided in her that was already particularly painful and that which she did not have the full story. Some people believe that when you stop being friends, secrets are a free for all. I don’t. But, even in my sadness and hurt, it stung far less. Because immediately, I had people asking me in the joking manner, “who do we have to hurt”, people that I love, adore. People that are there for me. I believe that we are who we surround ourselves with... and that I have chosen a lot of wonderful people to surround myself with. I’ve always been a quality over quantity type of girl. #friendship #grateful #thankyou https://www.instagram.com/p/BsL2NppBXeQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ku4ufgv6r6av
