Rolling with it

I feel like I'm falling behind on this gratitude thing, though so far, I have posted something I am grateful for every day since I said I would, it's just that a couple of times I posted a day late. I really don't feel like posting right now. I was at work for 13 hours. The last thing I want to do is stare at a computer screen any longer. But rather than complain about it, which is what I am inclined to do - I'll just say what I am grateful for and move on. And then, I promise, later this week, I'll come up with something more interesting to post about. Not that this blog ever was interesting, it's just that lately it seems to be extra boring.

Yesterday's gratitude - the comment about the cheese made me realize that I don't want for anything (what does that have to do with cheese? I don't know. Cheese, like everything, I seem to have an abundance of. And I don't know why, but it just made me think about the abundance in my life). Seriously - I have everything I need, that's always been true, and I have maybe 90-95% of what I want. I'm grateful that whatever I've needed, it's always been there, whether it be support from a friend, a stranger, AA - anything.

Today's gratitude - I'm grateful that despite the fact that I was at work for 13 hours, I left there in a decent mood. Yeah, things are busy, but I seem to be rolling with it okay. Going out of town for the weekend helped a lot. The break was nice. And even though it is insanely, completely, out of control busy - I actually don't feel stressed about it. I feel like I have good perspective about it and you know, whatever, right. I am only one person, I can only do so much in an hour and in a day and the thing is, I need to take care of myself and take time for myself because otherwise, I will burn out. I start to feel it after a couple of weeks of working a lot with no break. So, I'm grateful that I can put myself and taking care of myself before my job, as hard as it is.

Now, I just need to plan this leave I want to take...
