Today I am thankful for the marketplace, commerce, stores that are open when I urgently need a restroom and they have one I can use, and I make a courtesy purchase in gratitude for its availability and use. Today’s courtesy purchase:
I am thankful for birthdays; today’s is an amazing woman’s birthday. She’s the same age as the fellow whose memorial service DH and I attended yesterday. 😮 Time flies. We cannot take life for granted.
I dreamt of our late friend and bizarre work scenarios last night. Easy does it. The food place is supposed to call me today to confirm tomorrow morning’s early order for work. Nothing like working on your own time. Easy does it. Plan B is to show up there an hour before the requested items are to be ready, to make sure the ball is rolling.
Seven more years before I’m eligible for retirement. Seriously? And then my reward is lowered income and five times higher health insurance premium? Good grief.
Back to the gratitude antidotes. Yes, antidotes. I suppose anecdotes, too, at times. I am grateful to have a job and the wherewithal to pay for others to take care of me (the coffee shop, the convenience store, and the drive thru breakfast places this morning), and me to take care of others - i.e. DH’s plan G premium.
Have a good day, everyone! Hugs and Love, Ace
Happy Sunday!
ReplyDeleteI'll echo your own advice back at you... "Easy does it"... breathe, rest, and onward!
ReplyDeleteOh I know . . . there are times when Mother Nature just will not wait!
ReplyDeleteNope, definitely cannot take life for granted!
Ohhhhhh, retirement is a huge step and one that requires lots of planning, that’s for sure. You’ll be ready when the time comes.
Here’s to a blessed Sunday!
Hugs
