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!
As I read this, I was biting into my square of Dark Chocolate, 90% cocoa, that is my only real indulgence, and I have it after lunch, dinner, and evening snack. So I had to smile when I saw this on you list as well!
Thank you so much for sharing and taking the challenge and putting this out in the world. Two minutes is quick. ❤️ happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
