Two-Minute Gratitude Challenge

I'm not always thankful, but I'm trying

Emily Kendall of The Letdown posted a “two-minute gratitude challenge” and I decided I’d give it a try. I’m writing this in the CMS so apologies in advance for typos.

• Bluetooth headphones

• Streaming services

• Health insurance

• Short-term disability and FMLA

• My immediate family (my husband and son)

• All the cats I ever gave shelter to

• Dark chocolate

• My family of origin for being imperfect but loving and stable

• My sisters and their families

• All my online communities

• My 5 senses

• Ibuprofen/acetaminophen

Wow, 2 minutes is shorter than I thought, I’m gonna add

• THC/CBD edibles

• NA beverages

I have historically been better at enumerating what I don’t have, or why what I do have isn’t good enough, so this was a useful exercise.

Enjoy your time off if you have it! Ignore Black Friday/Cyber Monday unless you get a great deal on something you really need. I wish for Black Friday used car sales!

Stay cozy!
