Random assortment of gratefulness entries:
1) Trust. In myself, the universe, in the friends and family that care for me - even the less deep relationships. I am so grateful to have beautiful souls in my life that I trust.
2) All of my emotions, even the tired and the quiet and the small sad. They are welcome and I want to invite them in for a cup of tea. Come sit and be.
3) The wonderful team and project I've had the privilege of working with. The project has been grueling at times in its demands, but I never once felt disengaged. It didn't stress me out in any deep way. I felt accepted, and valued, and part of a team I respected and I am incredibly grateful for that.
4) Small thoughtful gestures. My new manager put a little paper certificate on my desk screen this week which granted me "one mandatory day off" was really sweet.
5) The reserve of ice around my heart. it serves its purpose in its own way.
6) The kiln of warmth that is my heart. it serves its purpose too.
