I have been so busy this week that my daily gratitude challenge has gone by the way side. But I have been grateful for many things daily. Let me share what has been my week.
• My hubby fell at work and injured his knee. We spent several hours in the ER and he left on crutches. He still has to have an MRI to know for sure about the injuries. In the meantime, he is on two weeks of medical leave. I am grateful that the injury was not worse than it is…he is now able to walk without crutches. I am grateful that the two weeks off came during my spring break. We now are going to get to go to Myrtle Beach to celebrate our birthdays and our first year anniversary.
• I have managed to catch another cold. This makes about four times I have gone to the Dr. this winter for colds/sinus issues. Although I hate being sick, a cold is much better than other alternatives and I am grateful it is such a minor illness.
• I have been working on school stuff a lot more as it is close to midterms. I have to have the grades in this Friday. I am grateful I only have three classes to do.
• My auto got hot while driving on the interstate. What started out to be an hour and half trip turned into almost 4 and half hours. I am grateful I made it home, safely, and without having to be towed.
I know there were more things. I just can’t seem to remember them now. I felt like I was meeting myself coming and going. Perhaps I did and this is the other me……grins. Ok…..small deviation into the sci-fi realm there.
Anyway…that is how it has been. And for today, I am grateful that classes went ok and I am safe and at home with someone whom I love and who loves me.

* That I have a fireplace that takes the chill off in the snowy weather. It looks wonderful and is not as messy as wood or coal since it is gas. The flames are wonderfully real though.
* That we got at least one big snow (big for us anyway) this year. I hope it lasts for a few days.
* That neither hubby nor I had to get out in the snow today. We stayed home together. :)

* That my hubby is in a better mood tonight. I don't know what it was or what was wrong, but just glad it was better tonight.
* That I am feeling less out of control with all the things on my to do list. It is still very long, I am just feeling better about it.

I recently purchased the Quicken program. I have been having to manually upload the data. Which wasn't too bad until I got to the mortgage part of it. GRRRRR
My bank balance is on target. My two loans on my cds are on target. But for the life of me I can not get the mortgage loan to be the same as what the bank has. I give up.
I will just have to remember that the totals are not accurate due to that one frigging account.
Ok........
sigh.......
did I tell you I hate MATH, I hate ACCOUNTING, and I ESPECIALLY hate COMPUTER PROGRAMMING.
OK....going to bed now where I am sure my dreams will have me being chased by dollar signs and debits and credits...or rather increases and decreases in Quicken.
Just GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
OH and .....Hubby came home n a bad mood and went straight to bed. No idea what is going on there....just glad he went to bed instead of anything else. Especially after my war with Quicken!

* That I was finally able to connect with Cat and Rat. It had been toooooo long. We had a nice dinner at the Steak and Shake for Valentine's Day. We chatted and got caught up. Yeah!!
* That I got a wonderful card from by hubby about marrying me being the best thing he has ever done. :) Too bad he has had to be gone from 9 this morning until 10:30 tonight. Sigh. But it is a lovely card.:)
* That I was able to do a good deed in picking someone up from the nursing home and take to a meeting...and then deliver him safe and sound back to the facility. He is nice guy. One of the "crotchety" guys that you can't help but like.

* That 20 years ago I met some wonderful coworkers at the hospital. And now 20 years later, we are still friends who get together about once a month. We catch up, share, laugh, support and encourage each other. They have become family.

Gratitude challenge.
I must say even in this short amount of time, if you do it everyday, it forces it on your radar. Once on your radar, it makes it easier to focus in on just what you should be grateful for..at that day...for that moment.
10. That I made it through the treatment at the foot dr again today. One more week to go and then several weeks to make sure it takes.
11. That I have an easy rapport with my students that give them the opportunity to talk to me about most anything.
12. That I have support staff four hours a week in the office. She is working on getting it organized for me. I am soooo excited about that.
Gratitude.....for Joli.

There are days that it will be hard to focus on the positive. Whether in actual troubles or imagined ones. Today would be an imagined one...feeling a wee bit sorry for myself.
But then, there is the challenge from Joli. Not only the challenge, but she has made the effort to read and comment on them as well. That is encouraging on a whole other level. Thanks Joli!
And so.....
7. For Joli, her challenge and for following up with positive comments on my own gratitude.
8. For the ability to eventually let anger go and not hold a grudge.
9. For a hubby that listens, lets me be me, and doesn't try to change me or fix things for me that I can eventually do on my own.
Hat tipped to Joli........
