What Are You Grateful For Today?

I’m grateful that after sitting in TWO different auto repairs shops for 4 1/2 hours today(and my car still isn’t fixed) that I didn’t completely lose my mind or temper. Actually I was calm, although I was riddled with anxiety, and very polite at the end. VERY unusual for me. LOL!!!!!!! I really wanted to jump up and down on the tire displays and scream at the top of my lungs like Tarzan, but I controlled myself....
 
Practice. An internal place to return to.
Perspective. Knowing the world is bigger than I can see.
Patience. Choosing to trust that the things I cannot control will shift of their own accord, on their own time.
Presence and perseverance. Choosing to do my best, here and now.

I promise my list is not alliterative on purpose. Except maybe for this last bit (snicker). I am grateful for playfulness.
 
Stability.

I feared it at first.

WHAT IS THIS?!?!

I DONT EVEN...

I feared losing myself.

Who would this new stable person be?

Turns out she’s so awesome, words cannot even describe...

I wish I’d not been so med adverse!

But, hindsight is 20/20 and everything before got me to the place I am now.
 
An unexpected refund check from the insurance company. The same exact dollar amount I was wishing for to purchase more oils for my home made blends and remedies. I'm a penny pinching mofo, big time, after having lived for so long with nothing to my name. Thanks, universe. I guess the circle of "heath care" is complete in that transaction, at least. Endlessly entertained by life's "coincidences".
