I am grateful on this last work day of the week, for this last work day of the week.

I am grateful while I still have it to be grateful, for the opportunity to work from home, but I am so looking forward to driving to work once again and having space in an office.

I am grateful for an oncologist who is also a friend.

I am grateful for 30 degree heat waves and the anticipation of a long walk tomorrow.

I am grateful for laundry done so that I don’t have to do it on the weekend.

I am grateful that Sam is having a fun weekend away with a good friend.

I am grateful for surprise owls that show up outside the cancer center and amaze me.

I am grateful for Valentines received, even though I didn’t send any this year.

I am grateful for our new small group online and re-entry into our church home.

I am grateful for a neighbor who has a huge heart for the stray cats, so I can watch them visit the blue food dish in this extreme cold.

I am grateful for plenty of fruit, plant based milk, and good supplements to put into smoothies for our breakfast every morning. For someone who hasn’t liked a variety of fruits and vegetables EVER, this sure is a great way to get me to enjoy them now!

I am grateful for success, in any form.

I am grateful for naps.

I am grateful for jigsaw puzzles and…I’m gonna start a new one tonight, just me, myself, and me.

And I am grateful for what the next several days will bring.
