Three Gratitudes, Day One

 So, I'm trying out this "Rewiring My Brain" thingit that I saw on a Ted talk, and one of the steps is posting Three Gratitudes once per day for 21 days.

 

Gratitude #1

Cengage Learning - I've been here a year, and I really do like this environment and the people. Even the work, because it's easy so I can do it right and be a rock star. I'm very grateful to have a job, benefits, and a salary that is stable and predictable. Also, they're letting me go to Clarion West. And I know that I can work my way up to a better position in time. Those two things alone are wonderful.

 

Gratutude #2

My Stripey Scarf - Scarves! Who knew? I picked up four Pashmina scarves on a whim at a garage sale, and they are the singlemost interesting thing I've done with my wardrobe in some time. I really like how they look, and they're warm and decorative without being annoying.

 

Gratitude #3 

My Mom - Is a wonderful, enthusiastic, giving lady, and I need to remember this more and appreciate it more. Yesterday she told me that she feels much safer talking to me than she used to, and I am so very grateful that we've been able to achieve grace and compassion in our communications, so that we can disagree without either of us feeling like a monster.

 

Although now I'm wondering if I should have put my mom before my scarf...

The Road to Clarion West - And Now the Waiting Begins...

All the auctions are posted - well, not all of them, but all I'm allowed to post for this week. And now I wait.

... and wait.
