Look for It

Sometimes it's really hard to see the good in the day.  Even when I haven't had a bad day, I do not see the good.  I think it's because I'm not looking for good or more likely, I'm taking it for granted.

So today, I really have to think about the good that I've had.  Here is a list:
  1. I woke up
  2. The temperature was warm enough to not wear a coat.
  3. It wasn't raining.
  4. I have employment.
  5. I have transportation.
  6. I have out of state license plates on my car - which I believe sometimes makes other drivers kinder to me.
  7. Derrick knows how to cook - I hardly ever have to make dinner anymore as he does all the cooking!
  8. I don't mind doing the dishes.  (He doesn't often clean up after he cooks!)
  9. It's Tuesday so NCIS is on CBS  (Who doesn't like to watch Mark Harmon?)
  10.  Even though he jumps on me (& others), my dog Aiden is pretty good dog!
I find it interesting that my list began with the obvious and ended up more personal.  Finding gratitude in your day should be a top priority for everyone!

5 Days Post Haylee

It has been five days.  The grieving process has begun for myself and many around me.  It's a  beast this thing called grief.  It attaches to or attacks each of us differently.  When my mother lost my sister Barb, she named her grief George.  I think I too will have a name for my grief.  I've been thinking about Clarence.  I always loved the character Clarence Odbody.    He was only doing what was right and tried to have a little fun along the way.  He kept things simple.  I like simple.  I won't mind if Clarence hangs around awhile. "Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives, and when he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?

Responsible

Responsible: having an obligation to do something, or having control over or care for someone, as part of one's job or role. I am responsible for many things whether I am at work or at home.  I don't always like it.  Sometimes, I do not want to be responsible.  I want to slack off or not care or just be the opposite of responsible.

Vaccine Day!

Image
Today I was able to get my 1st dose of the Pfizer - Covid 19 vaccine. Our county vaccinated 8,000 teachers in two days! It was very well run. I was in and out in less than 30 minutes including the 15 minute wait afterwards. It's been about five hours since and my arm is a bit sore now. I can't remember the last time I got a vaccine. Probably a tetnus shot. --- Those really hurt. Anyway, I'm glad to do my part to get this pandemic under control. As I look at my calorie tracker for the day: 1750 calories food and 59 oz. water.
