This week was a short week for me….only two days of work. If only every week could be like this. Maybe once school is finished. I’m grateful that I work for a company and am able to earn PTO. I take this seriously because so many people do not earn time off that is paid and must sacrifice income when they need to be away from work. I’m off for the next six days and am burning up earned PTO. I am only able to carry over forty hours into the next year and need to take time off or lose my time. You won’t catch me losing PTO. I earned it and will take every hour of it.

I’m also grateful this evening for getting a hard start on my weekend to do list. My thought that since I have six days off I would get a whole lot of those pesky things I’ve been putting off and accomplishing them. Tonight, I was able to mark off five items to that lengthy list and when I sleep in tomorrow I won’t have an ounce of guilt.

What are some to the ways you are grateful today?
