I delivered an eight hour lecture. When I was done the students actually applauded. I almost cried.
my spouse being the person she is.
We’ve been together for 25+ years and counting but almost everyday single day she manages to impress me even more.
I am very grateful for the peaceful environment I have created for myself. I tend to take it for granted because it’s just my normal way of life now, but there was a time when all I wished for was a safe place to sleep and a job that didn’t make me want to self delete. I have so much more now. I live all my days free of chaos, just at home in the mountains, working part time and spending the rest of the time chillen with my dogs and the butterflies in my garden. I smoke a lil smoke but I don’t party like a rockstar. There are definitely aspects of my life that could be better (mainly the political state of my country right now) but overall I personally am doing a lot better than I give myself credit for.
that sounds so great, tbh
It honestly and truly is. I have such a sense of peace and contentment sometimes, and I went years without feeling that in the past.
I had a lot of fun with some new friends today and I’m feeling good :)
I’m grateful for my husband, who tirelessly puts up with all of my crazy. I’m so fucking glad he’s around.
We’re all mad down here!
Attended a conference today and got to take home 3 swag shirts and lots of food that would’ve otherwise been thrown away.
honestly, right now I’m so grateful not be in significant or debilitating pain - I’m pretty much able bodied, I can cook and clean and do most of my daily activities pain-free.
I’m a month away from a major surgery that will keep me bed-ridden for many weeks and in pain for even longer. I’ve just been through many major accidents and medical procedures, some of which kept me immobile, disabled, and in significant pain for extended periods of time (some for weeks to months).
But right now, everything is sunshine and rainbows and I’m here for it 🌈🌞✨
I’m grateful for modern medicine.
I had a heart attack 2 years ago at 41. I’m not obese, and I’m reasonably fit and active, I just made some poor decisions and lost the genetic lottery.
I got a re-sleeve and aparently my ticker is tip top again. I didn’t even need “surgery”. They just ran their magical fixerupper up my vein from my wrist.
Not very long ago I would just be fucked up for the very brief rest of my life.
three cheers for modern medicine 🥂
That is so awesome that it’s good right now! I have been through a major open heart surgery, so I know what it’s like to spend weeks in pain recovering and healing. It sucks! Hopefully it will be worth it though. I wish you a fast and safe healing process.
My job at Amazon and the opportunity to make my life better.
Similar. As much as I disdain my current employment for being intellectual dead end – or I can’t seem to make on intellectually fulfilling – I’m grateful I still have a job that can sustain me comfortably
I had a soft shell crab poboy and saw Morris Day and The Time today. We don’t have a lot of pessimism in New Orleans for a reason.
Was working on an issue for a customer and couldn’t figure something out. Ian offered to rubber duck it with me and we got it figured out. I am grateful for Ian.

I’m grateful that when my dinner decided not to stay down that it at least was in a hurry to get out and I could stop feeling like shit in a couple minutes instead of lingering nausea for like an hour with no movement like normal. It’s the little things.
My boys. My wife. These are the people who give my life meaning.
Me too!
I’ve been wading through a swamp of misery lately - just a lot of pressure from work.
Every morning I try to think of 5 things that I’m grateful for, or to look forward to.
My kids are always high on that list because exactly as you said, they make it all mean something.
That I was able to take a nice nap since I strained my trapezius muscle pretty bad two days ago in a way that my head feels like it’s not on right. If I turn my head even slightly while lying on my back it feels like I’m twisting my neck too far even though I’m not because my traps are so tight. Sore to the touch and I’m not quite sure what started it but I think it’s getting better!
I was standing outside last spring and remarked ‘wow, what a beautiful day’. After a few seconds, an dude sitting at a nearby table said ‘Every day when I wake up is a beautiful day’. Yep, life can be what you make of it.
