Dare2Diva is Grateful

I started the day well and somehow things went down hill. I need to try and keep the positive thinking going even when I am living with a negative person. That is a tough one. My GP, aka Doogie gave me something to work on which he got from his yoga instructor which is really what I needed to hear. It is amazing the gifts the universe gives. Be happy for those happier than me, be compassionate towards those less happy than me, be grateful for those who are compassionate towards me and be neutral towards those aggressive towards me. Thank you universe and thank you Doogie. Universe 1) I am grateful I woke up early this morning, or should I say, early for a Saturday. I had to have a blood test and it was good to get it done early. 2) I am grateful it was Doogie who took my blood. It was a nice way to start the day believe it or not. 3) I am grateful for the gift of words you gave me today and I am grateful for the vessel it came in. 4) I am grateful I was able to afford to pay for

I had dental work done under sedation yesterday and it really knocked me around. AFTER. It didn't knock me out during treatment but after. At least the 1st drug they use to knock you out for the injections worked. I had today off because I couldn't stand up for too long without needing to pass out. I've had quite a good day actually. Universe 1) I am grateful I had the dental treatment and the first drug worked yesterday. 2) I am grateful I was able to sleep so much yesterday and again today. 3) I am grateful I was able to have the day off today. I needed to sleep most of the day again today so I am feeling a lot better now. 4) I am grateful I had a doctors appointment today. Seeing Doogie is like having a chat over a cuppa without the cuppa. 5) I am grateful I am safe. I have had reason to think about my 4yr old self and while I was manipulated as a child who didn't know better, I am safe now and I am old enough and able enough to make my own decisions for the g

I'll get straight into today's entry Universe 1) I am grateful I got to work safely. I was having trouble staying awake so I am pleased I was looked after. 2) I am grateful I had an easy day at work today. I got everything done that I needed to and I was able to finish my application. 3) I am grateful for my lunch today of salad and frittata and 2 oranges. I am really happy I am enjoying fruit at the moment. I plan to be in the habit of eating fruit everyday particularly now that summer is coming. 4) I am grateful I left home early so I could get to work earlier. It meant I could leave early and get what I need to do, done nice and early. 5) I am grateful for the walk I went on in the sun today. The sunshine felt really good on my skin and made me feel more positive about my day. 6) I am grateful I enjoyed my drive home today. Having the window down and the warm wind blowing in my face was really nice

The universe is constantly hitting me about the head with lessons and I don't always take notice. I have been rather annoyed with the universe because some pretty horrid people from my past seem to have so many good things happen to them. As soon as something bad happens, something good turns up in its place. I've realised today that by having this attitude, I have been pushing the good things further and further way from me and closer to them. I need to be more gracious. This will be difficult but I will try. Universe 1) I am grateful that I woke up earlier than expected and didn't have a problem getting out of bed. This set a positive tone for the day. 2) I am grateful for my credit card that allowed me to put petrol in my car. I am also grateful I get paid on Friday. I haven't had time to claim some of my medical bills yet so having the credit card available for me and to know I get paid on Friday is fantastic. 3) I am grateful for the beautiful weather today. I

The start of a new week and it was pretty good. I didn't have to hit the office at all today because I had meetings off site which went without a hitch. Universe 1) I am grateful I woke up very well. I didn't feel the need to hit the snooze button which was great. 2) I am grateful I had a bit of extra time this morning so I could enjoy breakfast a little longer 3) I am grateful I got to my destination in good time. 4) I am grateful my meetings went smoothly and that I am happy with the way I conducted myself. 5) I am grateful I found a quicker way home from this office location. My drive home was calm and I was able to enjoy listening to my audio book. Blessings

Today is fathers day here in Oz. For reasons too complex to mention on here, I don't have a great relationship with my father although he lives with me. I thought that today I really should show some gratitude for my father here because, well, although him actually being my biological father is one for debate (and a dna test) he has been in my life for always. Universe 1) I am grateful that my father is such a great cook and that he loves it so much. It means that I don't have to worry about cooking when I get home or, today, being fathers day, he did the actual cooking of the roast dinner. 2) I am grateful that I have somebody to come home from work to. Sure, it would be nice if that person was somebody special, it still means I am not coming home to an empty house. 3) I am grateful I have my father living in my house. It makes me feel safe to have a man in the house, albeit a rather old and fragile one. 4) I am grateful that I have a job that allows me the extra money t
