Dare2Diva is Grateful

Today has been great but busy. I had a sleep in which was nice but not too long. I had a leisurely breakfast followed by a shower and a visit from my niece. She came shopping with me and I got everything I needed to and then back to my sisters for a coffee and back to the shops to pick up some things for my sister, back to her place and then home. Boy, it feels exhausting just typing it. I started the tests for my job placement today and I feel really dumb. It took me longer than expected to do the maths practice test which has floored me considering I have a science degree in mathematics and analytical chemistry. I have a feeling that I need to dumb myself down and think like an idiot. The first clue was that the written literacy test was called a verbal reasoning. That should have been my clue right there but no. I chose to have a freak out. I won't even attempt to explain why I have this real unattractive feeling. I have been lucky that while I am obese, I have always has a high

How wonderful today was starting with a sleep in thanks to a day off! I took it easy this morning but I was out before midday to go shoe shopping, fabric shopping and cupcake shopping. The sun was shining and a really nice breeze was blowing so it was a great day to be out and about. Universe 1) I am grateful I had a day off today. 2) I am grateful for the sleep in. 3) I am grateful for the beautiful weather I was out in today 4) I am grateful I found 2 pairs of shoes that look and feel great. 5) I am grateful I found some beautiful fabric to make my older sisters bag with at a new fabric shop. 6) I am grateful for the cupcakes I bought today. I hadn't eaten all day so what better to hold off the hunger pains until dinner than a cup of tea and a cupcake. 7) I am grateful that I am feeling quite good today. Not so much mentally, although better than I have in a while, but physically. The extra sleep i have had has made a big difference. Blessings

I had a pretty good day today. Quite eventful with the only other girl left in my team resigning and things finally being approved. I also got notification that I passed round 1 for my own job and i have to do round 2 which is an online test for numeracy, literacy and reasoning. I'm a little concerned about it because each of the 3 sections should take no longer than 45mins each and I have difficulty concentrating for 5mins. Seriously. Anyway, I am sure I will be fine. Universe 1) I am grateful for the amazing nights sleep I had last night. I really needed it. 2) I am grateful it only took me 35mins to get to work today. An all time record. 3) I am grateful the jobs I needed approved were done today. This means I have work to do next week. 4) I am grateful I don't have to go to work until Wednesday. I need the break. 5) I am grateful I passed round 1 for my job today. 6) I am grateful I got a phone call from my favourite recruiter today. All is well with that side of th

Thanks to a long day yesterday I am home and I have the house to myself until 9pm. I had quite a good day today and I am very much looking forward to an early night. Universe 1) I am grateful I woke up better this morning 2) I am grateful I had a good drive into work without being tired 3) I am grateful for the lunch I had with a colleague today at a new cafe 4) I am grateful for the phone call with my shrink today. 1 of my blood levels is quite high even though I have decreased the tablet that made it go high in the first place. I just don't know how reducing a drug can make the blood levels rise higher than the original levels. Very strange. Anyway, my shrink is awesome. He said he is on holiday next week but i can call his mobile if I need to talk. I am so incredibly blessed 5) I am grateful I have the house to myself this evening. I am also grateful I cooked my dinner early and I can get to bed early because I am really tired today. Blessings

It is late so I am straight into this today. Universe 1) I am grateful I got to work safely. I was really tired this morning and I wasn't coping at all. I took my medication later and I think it made a difference. I was having trouble keeping my eyes open whilst driving so I was very glad I got to work ok. 2) I am grateful for the morning coffee I made to give me that extra wake up. 3) I am grateful I had drips of work to keep me busy today. 4) I am grateful for the solo lunch break I had today. 5) I am grateful I found the perfect watch to buy at 30% off. 6) I am grateful for the amusing conversation I had with a 3yr old today. Blessings

Wow. I think this experimenting thing is working. I wasn't anywhere near as tired as I usually am. I got to work early without almost killing myself on the road. Brilliant. My day was pretty boring until the second half and then I went to our training centre for a meeting which was great. It was a pretty good day. Universe 1) I am grateful I woke up refreshed and early. 2) I am grateful I got to work without worrying about falling asleep at the wheel. 3) I am grateful I managed to keep myself busy this morning and I am grateful I remembered I needed to do something. 4) I am grateful I had a meeting at our training centre. We accomplished a lot and it was nice to catch up with the girls. 5) I am grateful I got home quickly today. I left my meeting late and the the traffic was flowing so well that I got home around the same time as I normally do. Blessings

I have just learnt that this weekend was the gloomiest we have seen for 7 months. We only had 1hr of sunshine. Normally this would affect me but today I was quite chilled about it. I stayed at home and caught up with some tv after my sister and her kids paid a visit. I have been thinking way too much again but in amongst the thinking, the day dreaming happened and those dreams are so nice. I am free from this back pack of burden. I am happy, loved and calm. Universe 1) I am grateful I woke up at my planned time this morning. I didn't want to sleep away the day. 2) I am grateful I didn't feel tired and drained at all today. 3) I am grateful I didn't have to go out today meaning I didn't get affected by the gloomy weather. 4) I am grateful my sister and her kids came to visit. 5) I am grateful I am still able to day dream. I treasure those moments when I can escape my current reality. I know my reality is so much easier than some but that doesn't mean that I ca
