I’m going to blame this delayed gratitude Feel Good FridaySaturday list on any number of things, not the least of which is my amazing friend (pictured) getting me last-minute Ducks playoff hockey tickets! A frantic bike ride home from work ensued, followed by an adventure through the streets of Santa Ana with a new companion and loads of laughs.
Also pictured, other things keeping me busy: couch time with Nali (stop judging me), football playoffs (we didn’t win), IPA SMASH! (facetime guilted), and, obviously, the beach.
Writing a gratitude list weekly is sometimes a lot of pressure. That’s kinda the point, right? To help a person recognize what they have to be grateful for, even when it feels like a chore? Or it feels difficult? This week was stressful, intense, and downright awful at various points. But looking back, I see the good things alongside those rough times, and that’s something to be grateful for. Grateful for a gratitude list? So meta.
h/t to Chaly for reminding me to write this … makes me happy to know people are reading!
