Day 363

181

Day 363 of the 365 Day Gratitude Challenge.

Saturday, July 1st, 2017.

First, can I just say....what in the world just happened on DW! The ending was wicked awesome. Only now I'm on a new countdown. 5 months and 24 days until the next show!

OK, now that I've got that -- sort of -- out of my system, onto the gratuity challenge.

Today I am grateful for my grandma! She is always there to listen! I am grateful for that!

I got some more laundry done, but sadly not the skirt just yet. I'm hoping tomorrow will be different. I just think of the time consumption, and then I get a little discouraged. I am trying my best to work past that!

Day 362 of the 365 Day Gratitude Challenge.

Friday, June 30th, 2017.

My first three day weekend off in a very long time. I'm grateful for that!

Having a puppy is very exhausting! Don't believe anyone who tells you differently. You have to keep them safe. You have to make sure they don't get hurt or -- God forbid -- something worse.

I got to do some cleaning, though it is hard when I don't want to always put Spock in the pen. He needs to roam around. So I did my shopping very early and let him have at it around the house. I think he had fun because now he's sleeping! I'll post a pic later.

I got to do some laundry, and partially fix my bed frame. The middle was caving in. I think it happened when I rearranged the bed. Moving it on the carpet -- even with carpet coasters -- proved to be a challenge. Reminder to self to take the bed off and just move the frame! LOL

I'm rambling.

Any who, I was thinking of picking this challenge back up in January, but change it up a bit. I tend to get ahead of myself a lot! LOL

Well, I guess I'll save the sewing for tomorrow. I'm going to turn a dress I bought into a skirt. And hopefully I can make a lovely shirt with the remaining material. I have a plan in mind. I should sketch, but I have a photographic memory.

I'm grateful for a three day weekend!

I need sleep now because I over think too much! I wish I didn't have this problem.

I'm grateful I got this far om the challenge! There's only 5 days left.

There are times when I just want to leave fb. I stay because of the great friends I have. But I also don't like it when family finds me.

I just feel that if they can't make the time to talk to me, or text me, why should they have the privilege of knowing anything that's going on in my life, good or bad.

That to me sounds fake. We'll just be great buddies on social media, but we'll never chat in person. And when we do, I'll pretend to listen when really I'm not. I won't hang out with you in public either because you're an embarrassment. Well, that's the feeling I get.

So many friends and family have been around my neck of the woods, and never have they ever turned around to ask me if I want to meet up with them or hang out.

Well, maybe the Universe is doing me a favor. Maybe it's sparing me from heartache down the line. I guess I'll never know.

I am grateful for a higher power.

The poem below is something I had written a year ago. I think it was a Blogophilia piece.

I turned it into a picture.

Day 359 of the 365 Day Gratitude Challenge.

Tuesday, June 27th, 2017.

I'm grateful I have the ability to not say anything when I'm upset, and will probably regret saying it later.

I'm grateful I can walk away from the drama, and learn how to wait it out before saying anything.

I'm also very tired right now, so this post may be convoluted. It's a good thing I don't have many friends! :)

I'm grateful I'm not mean and spiteful. I'm glad I don't try to hurt people with my words. I'm grateful I don't make people feel like crap for no reason. I'm grateful I'm discreet. I'm grateful I can rise above.

At least I can hope. Some like to test me to a point, and then when I do explode, they say to me, "God! What did I do to you?"

You know. Same ol, same ol.

I'm getting this done early just in case I decide to take another trip into Sleepytown after I get out of work.

I'm grateful for having some time to work out the kinks of this challenge. When posting a pic daily for 365 days, you can often get mixed up. Not to mention FB doesn't always put your pics in that particular album either.

Well in any case,  I'm grateful! :)

Saturday, June 24th, 2017.

I think I may have miscalculated my 365 day journey!

I have "10" days left of this challenge. Well, 10 days from the 24th. That will put me at July 4th, which doesn't seem right.

Anyway, I'm grateful I went to bed early . I got 9 hours of sleep. That was why I didn't post a challenge last night.

I'm grateful for sleep! :)
