Gratuity Journal

This is one of the things that I am dead-set on accomplishing. Everyday, I want to make sure that I take the time to write down the things for which I am thankful. I have done this sporatically in the past and it has made a difference for me. Even when things were not going the way I thought they should, I made an effort to write down some positive things. I think I may use this space in that way and put some positivity out into the universe. Although, not many of my friends or family know that my blog exists, it will do me some good to go back and read when I am feeling tension. Let's start with things not going the way I think they should. I'm thankful for that. Sometimes, I worry so much about how something is going to go...how a plan will take shape that I make myself sick over it. In those "wrong" moments, I learn how to adapt and be flexible. I'm thankful for those moments. Simple things. Today, I am thankful that I was able to locate my checkbook when I thought I had lost it. I am thankful my husband received his paycheck and we are able to buy some Christmas presents, although a present I plan to give myself is less worrying and anxiety. I am grateful I am obtaining the skills I need to diffuse my anxiousness. Sometimes, I notice that even though I know a thing, I need someone to remind me, outloud and in a way that impacts me. When this happens, I rarely remember that thing without remembering how that person impacted me with their reminding me. Make sense? I'm thankful for those moments. And, I'm thankful to my friend Tara. Thanks for reminding me this is here. ;)
