I am grateful today for some unexpected occurrences. As I like things to follow a specific plan so when the unexpected happens I am learning to try and go with the flow.
I am so grateful I was able to take a long hot bath upstairs in the newly fixed tub. My master bathroom has a tiny tub so the luxury of the large bathtub was a welcome treat. My spouse awoke and heard the upstairs tub running and came to see if I was alright. Usually my indulgence to go upstairs means my body is in a flair and I need to stretch out. I assured him I was OK and luxuriated in my solace.
I made a morning run to the grocery store to get some necessities. Then it was off to pick up a couple of items at Costco. Going to Costco this time of year is like taming a lion wearing a meat suit. It feels like putting your life at risk.
I am grateful for an unplanned trip to Bed Bath and Beyond. I was looking for some hand warmers for a lab at school. They had none so we perused the perimeter of the store. We found a strange item I felt I wanted. I bought a blue Hanukkah stocking. I have never seen one before and I felt like it was such a kitsch item that I had to have it.
I have been hoping to let my hair grow out but I just can’t tolerate it anymore. I made an appointment for today and I actually followed through with it. I am grateful that the stylist did a nice job and I feel better.
I responded to some friends’ posts today and it felt good to catch up. After dinner I had my wonderful call with Kim. After I finished the call I felt invigorated and drained at the same time. I am grateful for this amazing gift she has bestowed on me.
I finished my night with speaking to two dear friends. While as usual the video chat didn’t last for long, I am grateful I was able to speak with them at length. I am ever so grateful that I met so many wonderful women from the writing group and it has expanded my heart in welcoming them in to my life.
Your post made me smile, knowing there are uplifting things going on in your life. A warm, luxurious bath and a fresh hair style must have lifted your spirits. And I share your Costco feelings. I am dreading my upcoming visit as well.
