There's never been a better time to make a gratitude list, has there?
I mean, like, EVER?
The last few weeks have been hard for all of us residents of Earth, and we're not out of the woods yet. Some moments, hours, and days I experience anxiety, overwhelm, and hopelessness.
But I'm often surprised at how many things I can be grateful for. And I know I'm not the only one. So let's talk about it.
Okay, I'll go first. And I'll list several things to give you time to think about yours. (Yes, this is a group project. I know, I know, you always hated group projects in school, but this one is different. You'll be glad you participated. It will make you feel better!)
1. Despite sheltering in place, I was able to share my son's birthday dinner with him and my daughter-in-law by way of Google Hangouts. He blew out the candles on the beautiful, home-baked cake at their home, and I blew out the ones I'd stuck into an oat muffin.
1.a. And! We have a virtual game night each week the same way. Such fun.
2. My cat has calmed down after a period of acting out. (I think she has accepted that she's stuck with me for the duration. Thank goodness, because at least one of us was going to need medication.)
3. I've spent many hours in the old West, reading historical sweet romances.
4. Taste of Home's recipe for brown sugar oat muffins.
4.a. Having all the ingredients on hand for said muffins.
5. Permitted walks outdoors in actual springtime (instead of jumping from winter to summer as we've done for several years). Many days have been gorgeous, and the birds are so happy. (Okay, that's more than one point of gratitude for number five but you get the idea.)
Now it's your turn. Share something(s) from your gratitude list, please!
