Happy Mother’s Day to all of the mother’s out there in the world. Those who have babies, children, adults, and even those who are mom’s to their animal children. May you enjoy your day and know you are loved each and every day. I’m grateful for my two mom’s and cannot imagine who I would be, where I would in life, or how life would be different without them in my life. I am eternally grateful for them and try and take every opportunity to tell them.

How did you show gratitude to your Mom today?

It was an odd day today. I was not as motivated to get up and go to the gym right away so I went in the afternoon instead. What a joy it was to go at that time as there were few people there and it was really quiet. I’m grateful to arrive during a quiet time and have almost every machine at my disposal.

What did you differently today?

Oh yeah!!

Yaaaahhhhoooooo! I was notified today that my the schedule shift I have requested has been approved and I can start it in the next week! Not only will I be able to take a shorter lunch I am able to leave each day at 3:30 and have only two start times per week instead of three (what a roller coaster that was). I’m SO excited (and grateful)!

What wonderful news were you given today?

Thank goodness for the little things…..although in this case it was a really big thing. I have been struggling with an infection (sorry if TMI for you) and today I was able to go and have it officially treated. I am grateful for pain relief!

What little thing made brought you gratitude today?

PS-I’m also grateful for my sister going out and getting me a little treat. Appreciate her!

Today, I was given a deadline extension-and without any deduction in points. Thank goodness for the break I was given by my instructor. I really needed this, as I’m fighting a cold and my motivation levels have dropped this was just what I needed right now and I’m grateful.

When was the last time you were given a break?

Am feeling very accomplished. Today, was smashingly busy which was wonderful as the day flew by….but boy am I tired. Fighting a cold + being really busy = one tired ole person. Am grateful the day is almost over….only minutes until bedtime. Am grateful that when days are busy, stressful, and I just don’t feel right that they eventually end.

What made your gratitude transpire today?

Visited the Como Conservatory today and it was absolutely gorgeous! What an absolute treasure we have in MN. It was filled with fully bloomed and well fragranced flowers. It was bustling with visitors from all ages. Not only is it beautiful but it is free to visit (although suggested donation amounts are posted). If you’ve never been, please place this on your list of places to visit. You won’t regret the beauty it encapsulates. I’m grateful for nature’s beauty.

Are you?

Are you grateful for those whom you work with?

It was a wacky day-weather and work. Clouds came and went and so did the laughter. We had a lot of fun at work today and I’m grateful to work with such amazing and talented individuals. They really are personable, helpful, skilled, and are amusing.

I’m grateful to work with team and more importantly, become a better person because of them.
