I am grateful for the motivation and positive changes that have been occurring since deciding to take charge of my life and turn things around.
Got my hair done which looks amazing, pampered myself to a spa day, been keeping strict to my diet and working out, as well redid my entire bathroom.
Have been busting my ass to make new changes and take things more seriously, kicking toxic people out of my life, reducing time on social media, traveling more, taking care of health needs, ect.
Truly grateful for this and thank my lucky stars that things have drastically improved. :heartbeat Also have plans to moveout by the end of this year!

Same! I always go to the one inside my supermarket. For one thing, there are not any lines. For another thing, I get reward points on my grocery bill. I love Starbucks!
@Bambi awesomeness! Keep going!

Weight management pills. My Dr prescribed one yesterday and I took it today and it gave me so much energy I cleaned my whole apt. I mean bleached down all surfaces, bathroom, kitchen, living room: vacummed, did laundry, dumped trash, washed tub and shower walls, wiped down kitchen counters, cleaned fridge, dumped stuff on patio that had been there two years, etc.
My place is immaculate haha. I burned 1300 calories in 3 hrs. It was amazing!

Those pills are dangerous yo... I used to like them too not for weight control but because I have ADHD n they help me focus...don’t take them every day!

My Dr said just a month. I'm tracking my heart rate when I train with it and it's not sending me through the roof. I do have a mental illness and she said it wouldn't affect it.
I trained today on it and I was perfectly fine. I am amped up, but I can still get sleep.
She said if I was very sensitive to caffeine then it would be a problem, but I have been using a high grade preworkout that gives me the same results.
Thanks. I'll keep what you have to say in mind.

Grateful for Synctuition meditation program. It's like doing a 4 hour long deep meditation session in just 25 min. Most times I fall asleep and have lucid dreams. I love controlling the dreamscape.

Grateful these beauty sponges I ordered from Amazon arrived today. They are so soft and supple. Can't wait to try with liquid foundation. I used to be all about brushes with foundation but now I'm all about sponges. They're easy to clean and you can use them wet or dry.

Sold the Explorer to Copart. With a clear title, I got more from them than what I paid for it. Since I already got my money (and then some) out of it with the two-way radio equipment I uninstalled then turned around and sold, I’m considering this windfall, and putting it towards a car for the new girl. She’s been taking mine to and from work, meaning I’ve had to use a one ton pickup as a daily driver.

My vanilla client offered me some contract hourly work. It's not a lot, but it's an extra $60 + a week for doing mindless work, and for that, I am grateful.

I'm grateful to live near the beach because it's so nice taking walks/runs there almost every day.

Random moments where you get a lull and can just let your hair down and be a little silly. Worked with one of our Tech 2s today… older black fellow from Georgia who unfortunately… he’s in his 60s, he’d been a mechanic before then started his own business and the unfortunate thing is that it went under during the pandemic, so he’s back to throwing tools again. And one thing I like about him is that he doesn’t get down about it - he just keeps looking forward. Anyhow, as we’re starting the shift, I tell him he probably won’t care for my music, so if there’s something he’d rather listen to, he should let me know. So he half jokingly says to me, “Because I’m black?” and I tell him, “I can assure you the white people in the shop don’t like my music, either”. Which is why if I’m working directly with someone, I try to be so accommodating. I don’t care so much what I listen to (as long as it’s not something I absolutely can’t stand), but I just want something to listen to.
Anyhow, he had his own Spotify playlist on his phone, so we paired that to my Bluetooth and listened to that. Once we have our task done, we have the equipment out on the ready line, and we’re cleaning up, this James Brown sing comes on, and he loudly yells, “OH, YEAH!” and kinda dances as we clean up. Then he stops and starts doing the robot, and this is just absolutely priceless at this point. And he asks me if I know how to do that one. Well, I do, so I join him and he’s kinda cheering me on and we’re being silly and laughing about it fora minute or two before we get back to cleaning up, and it was just wonderful. You kinda have to understand the value of a little lull like that in a shop which is a really high intensity work environment. In a little over eight hours, we knocked out a task which is flagged as a 14 hour task, if that gives you an idea.

I am thankful for.....shall I say the federal government......can't believe I'm saying that but yeah I got an email from my health insurance company to see if I can save money on my bill and turns out I can get the rest of the year premium free! I do have to still pay for my dental but that's okay because I can use the savings to get the dental treatment I'm long overdue for.
The pandemic has been a blessing in disguise.

I'm thankful for being home. Also, sometimes I'm grateful for being single. Relationships are hard work.....I remember how many times my mom would contact me over her new husband saying she was leaving over his behavior. All I have to deal with is dogs for now and sometimes I think that is the best thing for me currently even though I want kids.
miss.a.p1600
06-12-2021, 11:01 AM
^yes! I question myself all the time like 'am I really cut out for a relationship?' .... all the compromising, say goodbye to your privacy n freedom, fucking 'consulting' before making decisions, no more farting whenever I want lol, sharing the bathroom, like cotdamn! can I really do this for.........forever?
I thought I wanted to marry and stay in it for the long haul but sometimes I'm like 'what if I am the first one to divorce after being with a dude for like a year?'
Anyhow I am thankful I've got 4 prospective clients booked....Getting the week off to a good start

I like that movie a lot! Has a good morale to the story!
I got to spend some time with some encouraging friends. I’m kinda blessed. Like no matter how bad my life gets things always end up working out for me. I just always seem to find the right person, place, or thing. It does require knocking on doors until they open-not fun.
Not a religious person but I’ll take wisdom wherever I can get it

I’m grateful for taking a week off work. I felt guilty at first, but I can’t do my job if I’m not in a good head space. I know my clients can tell when im off, but im only human-they’ll get over it. I’m grateful I made over $100 today.

We went to an art fair and I ended up buying 3 pieces of bird art. I felt bad that the lady didn't have anybody in her art tent and had so much unsold art that I felt like I should buy something from her. They're actually pretty nice and I added them to my living room collection of bird art.
