My Doctor

 It's good to have a doctor that actually listens to me. 

Having help when I'm ill

I've been sick this week, and I was very grateful to have a spouse who helped out around the house! Some things I asked them to do, and some things I didn't even have to ask. So that was pretty cool.

Walking Other People's Dogs

 I love dogs. And it doesn't look like I'm getting one anytime soon!

So, I'm grateful that there are people who need my help and hire me to walk their dogs. I love it. I've become good friends with all the dogs I walk. When I take time off of work, it's weird, because it just means I don't see my friends. 

Dogs are great. 

Fun Times with Sober Friends

 Today, I'm grateful that I have sober friends to do fun things with. 

To be honest, those are fun things that normally would've involved drinking, for me at least. Tonight we went to trivia.

We didn't know the topic, but we had a lot of fun guessing! And we just had fun hanging out with each other, too.

Food Bloggers

 Today, I am grateful for food bloggers. 

It might seem like a weird thing to be grateful for, but do you ever think about what an amazing time we live in? Literally anyone can post anything on the internet, and someone else anywhere in the world can find it! I mean, I know that makes me sound old, but it is pretty amazing.

In 1994, we were amazed by being able to send emails to each other. Now we don't even do that anymore! We've totally moved on. 

So, I know that everyone kind of makes fun of food bloggers. Like, there are so many of them, and they aren't all great. But honestly, as a person who eats a different diet from most people, I love being able to just search and find things right away. I know my mom loves that, too. In fact, she has gotten rid of all her cookbooks! (I'm not quite there yet.)

So today, I would like to thank Trial and Eater for posting easy instructions on how to substitute fresh spinach for frozen spinach in a recipe. And, you know, just in case you need that info, too:

Have a great day!

My Gratitude: Thursday, November 3

1. Today, I am grateful for The Tapping Solution. It has had a great benefit for me, and I highly recommend it to anyone, but especially if you're struggling. 

2. I'm grateful for Minnie, who has been a wonderful and reliable vehicle for us over the years. We're very lucky. 

3. I'm grateful for the healthcare marketplace. If neither of us can get a job, it's the next best thing. 

My Gratitude: Tuesday, November 1

1. I am grateful that we live in an apartment that is fairly quick to respond to any maintenance requests or trouble. 

2. I am grateful that we got a parking spot on our block! It doesn't happen every day, so I'm very grateful when it does. 

3. I am grateful that I learned about bullet journaling. I really like how it keeps me more organized.
