What Are You Grateful For Today?

[Tornadic Thoughts]

Fresh veggies and herbs and more seeds to plant.

The gift of even more starts to plant from a sweet neighbor.

A text from a dear old friend prompting belly laughs of days gone by.

The will to walk away from an email that fired me the f right up, initially. Typed a response, minus their email addy in the "send to" space, and just saved it as a draft. Will revisit tomorrow, or sooner. lol But at least I didn't fire it off right then. - I'll thank me for that later.

Wellness to the extent it's felt on any given day.

Open windows, warm-ish temps, fluffy clouds, and fresh breezes...prior to the forecasted 3+ inches of rain heading our way.

Innocence, purity, and the resiliency of my soul.
Stubborn persistence, hope, and faith.
Compassion, friendship, and love.

Buddy's 'Doesn't matter you can't pronounce it right. Matters you live by it.'

Quite fresh air from all that other giving me shit nonsense.

- willingness to do work
- seen and unseen support
- awareness, no matter how painful

That it will be time to go to bed soon. This day has been a killer.

Grateful that I have been retired for a few years now, and have an income I can count on. Have learned to budget it and without going anywhere for so long, it's lasting longer. I would be a mess beyond words right now if I was still working and needing that weekly paycheck. Grateful to be OLD!

I was able to buy my rocking chair today. I have been saving up for a few months. It is a glider, actually. It is made by the Amish.

For logging into the social media scene just in time to see a brand new post offering free rolls of used fencing and both wooden and metal posts, curbside. Told the hubby, printed directions, and off we went. The items were in much nicer shape than we expected.

I love finding treasures like that. Saves a lot of money for things we'd eventually need to buy anyway, and makes for a fun adventure. Once this growing season is over, we'll be putting a new-to-us fence around the big garden, freeing up the other used stuff we already have on hand to be utilized around raised beds, made into trellis props, and such.

Grateful this time of year still feels magical/hopeful/encouraging to me each time I see the sun shining, trees blooming, flowers opening, planted seeds growing, wild things being whatever the hell they wish to be, flutter bys, bees, birds, dragon flies, etc. brightening even the most shittiest of my days.

May the love, compassion, patience, innerstanding, gratitude, and determination I experience peppered throughout some of my days continue to grow as well. Weeding my mind garden is much more difficult than the yarden and garden with the veggies and such, that's for damn sure.

My new rocking chair was delivered today. I saved up for it for about three months. I love it!

I no longer have to wear a neck brace. Doc says I am doing well.

I no longer have to wear a neck brace. Doc says I am doing well.

And my sister reminded me to start taking my aspirin again now that the surgeon has released me from his care.
