Gratitude thread

What are you grateful for this week? At the beginning of last week, I was looking anxiously at the checks I knew were coming in and doing the dreaded math of trying to figure out when I could write my rent check; then a friend popped into my Facebook messenger and asked if I needed a gig. I'm now working on a short-term, interesting research project for a decent amount of money considering the project and its pre-startup stage, and will be able to write the rent check. So here's to the network referrals that make an unstable profession a little more stable. :) What are you grateful for this week?

A friend reached out to me and said, ”how can I pray for you”. So this week, I'm grateful for her and her ability to cover me in prayer.

My health! I had a health scare this week and while everything came out ok, it made me think about how I should be more grateful for this body that I'm in.

Great question; I think especially on a Monday it can be easy to get lost in the bustle and forget about gratitude. I am grateful that my husband is picking up our daughter today so I can get in some after-work pampering. Self-care can be hard to squeeze in, but when I do, it helps me re-center.

My Dad - he passed away 15 years ago but there isn't a day that goes by that I don't remember how much he loved me and all of the amazing things he taught me to set me up for a successful, happy life. Our time together was short, but his impact was enormous on who I've become.
