Even though I keep a daily gratitude journal-- I don't spend much time being thankful for the blessings in my life. Â Upon review, my gratitude journal seems to be full of food, wine, and people that do something nice for me during that journal day. Â At the risk of being too fucking deep... it's probably about time to reflect on the more basic things that I should give more of a fuck about. Â Here goes:
I am pretty damned healthy... mentally and physically
I have a career that enables me to help people while paying my bills and buying things that I want
I have access to unlimited amounts of clean drinking water
I belong to a family that loves me, and I do my best to love them in return
I am married to my best friend
I have two furry kids who love me unconditionally
I have the capacity to try to love my children more
I have the world's best therapist
I live in a vacation destination, and love it here
I have a history of setting and meeting goals-- even when they stretch my abilities, and take me out of my comfort zone
I have a wicked, dry sense of humor
I have emerged from a pretty negative childhood/early adulthood with my sanity intact
That's probably more than enough for now. Â I am truly blessed. Hopefully I can revisit this list when I'm raging against one bullshit thing or another. Â
