I am making a grilled cheese sandwich right now. I will be thankful for that in about 5 minutes. Mmmm….
that I found the strength to not kill a co-worker who gave me just a little too much attitude after she interrupted my phone call with a platinum account.
Poof….you might not be so thankful tomorrow when your coworker irritates you again….so….be strong!
actually she knows not to speak to me unless absolutely necessary. Today was the first time in probably 2 weeks.
My kids woke me up to have breakfast with them
trumi….how is the sandwich?

May I also add, that I am grateful that the humming birds have finally declassified my feeder as toxic and are now buzzing my like an air traffic control tower…....

I got to use a golf gift certificate that expired 8 months ago.
Yeah, my bro-in-law has been out of commission with two new kids in two years, so I hadn’t had a good chance to use it, and I was feeling guilty because my dad gave it to me for Christmas. So, it worked out. Yahoo!

@La Chica Gomela and @Snoopy:
Thanks!
I am glad you posted this question today. I have worked long and hard to change from a cynical pessemist to a hopeful realist. I have been through far more difficult situations, and there are others who are suffering much worse than I ever have. So this reminded me to practice the conscious gratitude that has helped me overcome so much, rather than retreating into my old habit of wallowing in self-pity. :-)
The grass is always greener on the other side…..’
Tomorrow is another day…..
It could always be worse…....
:)
No, the grass is rarely greener. Usually those who see things that way are discontent within themselves, and are always looking to external sources or circumstances to make them “happy” or at least to distract them for a while… but inevitably, they find themselves discontent because only the scenery has changed. “Wherever you go, there you are.”
—ok. maybe that one was a bad choice. but you get the idea :)—
