Day 96

Day 96 of the 365 Day Gratitude Challenge.

Wednesday, October 5th, 2016

I don't really know what I'm grateful for. This is an honest post. Yesterday, a resident gave me some wild flowers, and I somehow developed an allergic reaction to it. My eye was beet red. It was awful. 

Today my eye wasn't so bad. Even though I took pictures of my bad eye, I'm not going to share it.

I went home to nap, I went shopping, and I started playing catch up on my DVR. Tonight, I caught up on a Hallmark movie, as well as episodes of Young & Hungry.

I guess you can say I'm grateful I'm feeling better, and I'm grateful I got to relax a bit.

Hopefully tomorrow I can get some tread time. :)

Days 91-95

Day 91 of the 365 Day Gratitude Challenge.

I'm grateful for exercise. I am starting to feel better. I dislike when I get sick or am on overload with work so much that I never get to exercise.

I'm trying to go down a different path, and I pray I never grow tired of my fitbit. I really like how I'm challenging myself more.

Time for bed now.

Good night.

Day 92 of the 365 Day Gratitude Challenge.

I had forgotten what I was grateful for when I found these quotes earlier. I was looking for something in particular when these quotes just popped up at me.

These quotes may or may not pertain to me, but either way, I like the quotes.

I guess you can say that I'm grateful for being able to find quotes easily in this day and age.

This gratuity challenge was for Saturday, October 1st, 2016.

I'm fading fast now. Night.

Day 93 of the 365 Day Gratitude Challenge.

I'm grateful for music. There is always a song that goes with your life. I really want to be a song writer. I'll stick with enjoying the music instead. Sometimes my writings can be hit or miss. More miss than hit, but I'm cool with that hahahahaha.

I'm also grateful for enjoyable work days. It helps time to pass by a bit faster.

Day 94 of the 365 Day Gratitude Challenge.

I'm grateful for days off. I got some stuff done! Including my exercise. I got about 70 minutes of tread time, and I got in my five miles for the day. Now it's off to work I go en la mañana.

Day 95 of the 365 Day Gratitude Challenge.

I'm grateful for free moments. Tonight I dared to do something liberating. In the end, I feel in my heart it's the right decision. No one liked me there anyway. I'm moving in the right direction, and for that, I am grateful.

It's not nice to fool mother nature.

Quote Shirley Temple-Black

"When I was 14, I was the oldest I ever was.  I've been getting younger ever since."

Include a peace pipe.


The picture:

There's an elephant in the room. I hope it isn't me, but it probably is.  I try to offer peace pipes, but it's true what they say.  You can do what ever you can to please others, and it will never be good.  So the only person I can make happy is myself.

I have to start living my life like Shirley Temple did.  She said, "When I was fourteen, I was the oldest I ever was.  I've been getting younger ever since."  I know it's not nice to fool mother nature, but I surprise everyone every day with my looks.

No one seems to believe me when I tell them I'm nearly sixty years old.  They all think I'm lying in some way.  They will tell me that I look no older than eighteen.  The truth is, there is a story behind why I look eighteen.

Forty-two years ago, there was a life-altering change.  I was involved in an accident to where I died, and when I awoke, I was suddenly ageless.  That is all I really know.  So when people ask me how old I am, I tell them I'm sixty, and then I give them a wink, indicating I'm just joking around.

Of course, you know, this means every twenty years or so I have to relocate. That means changing my name, as well as my I.D.

It's not so bad, living this life. It does have its benefits.

Will you join me on my journey, or will you be afraid of the unknown?

Days 81-90

Let's try this again!

Day 81 of the 365 Day Gratitude Challenge.

I'm grateful for lazy days. And today was definitely a very lazy day for me. Tomorrow I have to work, which is why I'm getting this in so much earlier than usual. 

I didn't even write or think about writing. I did some micro organizing. By micro, I mean just that LOL. Hey, it's a lazy day for me! :)

Day 82 of the 365 Day Gratitude Challenge. 

Even though today was a crazy day, I'm still grateful for crazy days. 

I'm grateful work gets me out of my comfort zone. It gets me out of my house. I would stay home if it weren't for work and shopping for groceries. Food...what's that all about anyway? ;)

Now I just have to learn how to interact with coworkers better.

Day 83 of the 365 Day Gratitude Challenge.

It's days like these I'm actually grateful to be a techno geek. Usually, I would hide my head in shame...Well, not in shame but rather I just say nothing because when I try to explain to someone why their computers don't work...eh, I might as well be speaking Elvish.

I thought today's gratuity challenge would be brought to you by Life Hacks. For the most part, I do try them out, and I do happen to find them accurate.

I'm grateful for technology that provides me iinformation at my fingertips.

Day 84 of the 365 Day Gratitude Challenge. 

I am grateful I got 5 miles in today. I never thought 90 minutes of walking adds up to 5 miles. Also, when I originally got the FitBit, it said 10,000 miles was equivalent to 5 miles. But on my app, it says I only went 4 miles. So, I upped my steps, and by the time I got to 12,000, I got my 5 miles in. 

In any case, I'm grateful I challenged myself. Now I just need to keep challenging myself.

Day 85 of the 365 Day Gratitude Challenge. Friday, 9/23/16.

Without going into detail, I'm grateful for laughable moments. I'm grateful for moments that make your work day go by a bit faster. I'm grateful for working. And speaking of work, I have to go to bed to get up in the morning. I'm grateful for wonderful friends that read my posts and listen to my rants.

Good night! :)

Day 86 of the 365 Day Gratitude Challenge. 

I am grateful for my new phone. For one, I can save pictures on it. Another thing is my camera is designed to make your features look different. I always wondered what I would look like with big eyes. Now I know! LOL. 

I am grateful for a good job, and meeting good friends along the way.  I'm always grateful for new beginnings. And mostly, I'm grateful for sleep! Which is what I'm about to do.

9/24/16, Saturday.

Day 87 of the 365 Day Gratitude Challenge. 

I'm grateful I didn't see a white owl as those are bad omens. This little fella looked right at me. I think he wanted his picture taken. 

The outfit you see me wearing is sleeveless. I won't wear sleeveless anymore, and it just so happens sleeveless is not acceptable anyway at my job. I threw a short sleeved shirt underneath, and it turned out well, IMO. 

I am grateful I can be creative.

Day 88 of the 365 Day Gratitude Challenge. 

I'm grateful for sad moments. It means I can handle whatever comes my way. It definitely shows strength.

Day 89 of the 365 Day Gratitude Challenge. 

I am grateful for the invention of the DVR. I can escape reality with the click of a button. I am trying to catch up on my shows.

**

Day 90 of the 365 Day Gratitude Challenge. 

I had to create a two parter because I couldn't get all six pics to fit right in one grid.

So here it is... I'm grateful I made it to day 90! I'm doing really good. I'm grateful today was a good day. I'm also grateful I got some exercise in and got my 10,000 steps in before 8 tonight. 

It's pretty cool. Now if only I can get fb to show everyone my posts in a timely fashion. Well, two out of three ain't bad.

Days 75-80

I'm going to try to put 5 days worth of entries in one blog...Let's see if this works...

It's already acting up...

Day 75 of the 365 Day Gratitude Challenge. 

Over the weekend something strange happened, and so I went to the source of the mouth to find out the truth. I went about it in a positive way and got a positive result. 

Normally when I confront someone in a positive way, they usually turn around and say I'm being negative. I can't tell you how awful it makes me feel when I feel like no one is listening.

I grow frustrated and then the other person asks me why I'm acting the way I am. It's because I'm frustrated and no one is listening.

All I can say is I am so grateful I'm in a more positive atmosphere. I'm grateful for those that finally hear me. It feels nice! :)

Day 76 of the 365 Day Gratitude Challenge. Wednesday, September 14th, 2016.

I'm grateful for having a day off. I got nothing really done. Well, that's a lie. I went to the doctor, filled up on gas, and got an oil change. I went home for a bit, and went out to shop for work clothes. I found a cute skirt and top.

I've decided to no longer wear slacks at my new job. I like skirts, but I am not crazy about dresses. Dresses are too restricting. It's hard to explain. I never liked tight clothing. It could very well be a claustrophobic thing???

I went to the store after to get some groceries. I didn't get much organizing done today, but I did manage to pay the bills! :)

Tomorrow before my job, I plan on doing some volunteer work. I'm grateful for busy days.

Day 77 of the 365 Day Gratitude Challenge. 

I'm grateful for always learning new things about myself.

I've always known I grow attached to things and people when I should just let go.

I have stayed in a blogging group that really doesn't want me there. I have stayed at jobs even when they don't want me. And most importantly I have tried to keep in touch with people that don't want to keep in touch.

It's time to learn how to detach. I've done this before, I think I can do it again.

Day 78 of the 365 Day Gratitude Challenge. 

I'm grateful for auto type on here. It makes typing much faster for me.

I'm grateful for mew clothes as it makes me happy when I get to wear something new.

I'm grateful for time flying by when I'm at work.

I'm grateful for good friends that always comment and don't mind my rants or the things I post.

I'm grateful for my husband and a house to live in.

Day 79 of the 365 Day Gratitude Challenge. 

As you can see, I have no theme for Saturday 9/17/16. I woke up early but late. I had a slow start because I went to bed at 2 in the morning the day before. I get out of work at 11 and I'm home by 11:30. 

I'm grateful for late shift nights. I'm grateful for being able to sleep in. 

That's all I have for today. I'll try to come up with more things to be grateful for tomorrow.

Day 80

Day 80 of the 365 Day Gratitude Challenge.

I'm grateful for making it another 10 days on this challenge. I'm on day 80! Whoo hoo!

Earlier, I was going to quit the blogging group all together. I was gonna quit, but there are still a few that like my writing. So I think I'll stick with it. I just need to go about my mind differently. 

I'm grateful I can train my mind to think on a more positive level. Every day is a new, learning day.
