Grateful for this Wednesday

Universe 1) I am grateful for a short working week. There is a public holiday for Anzac day tomorrow and I have a day off on Friday. 2) I am grateful for my coffee and toast this morning. 3) I am grateful for my apple and yogurt this morning. I am grateful for these things because as of next Monday I am replacing breakfast and morning tea with just the 1 diet shake. It is going to be tough but I just have to break in a new routine. 4) I am grateful I have the brains to do my job efficiently and up to par. 5) I am grateful for the beautiful weather outside. Typical autumn/fall weather. A chill in the air with warm sunshine. Blessings

Grateful for this Tuesday and Saturday, Sunday and Monday

I have been really slack the past few days. Saturday I was woken up by a migraine from hell. Vomiting and pain like no other. I was seriously considering hospital I was that sick. After that I have just been so incredibly exhausted that going to my laptop to type up an entry is too much effort. I know that is a lame excuse but that is that. This entry will include a couple of thoughts from the days I have missed. Universe 1) I am grateful that my migraine went after vomiting and then a really long sleep on Saturday. 2) I am grateful for Saturday night dinner with Pa. We went to the local pub and I had a cheeky meal of nachos. Very nice indeed. 3) I am grateful I was still able to sleep without trouble Saturday night. 4) I am grateful for another long sleep on Sunday. 5) I am grateful I got my mailing done on Sunday finally. 6) I am grateful my younger sisters family joined us for Sunday nights dinner of Roast pork and veg. It was delicious 7) I am grateful I had a migraine free wak

Grateful for this Wednesday

Universe 1) I am grateful for the amazing sleep I had last night. 2) I am grateful for my morning coffee and sour dough toast. 3) I am grateful the rain stopped and the sun is out 4) I am grateful I am feeling calm today. I know I have been feeling calm for a while now, but today is different. It is a different kind of calm. 5) I am grateful I have a good imagination. I love day dreaming about jewellery, holidays, family gatherings etc. As a side note; my great nephew went overseas with his dad for 9 days. His dad was supposed to call so GN could say good bye to his mum but he didn't. My niece is really upset about this and I am a little worried. You hear about fathers taking their kids OS and not returning. Please universe, let everything be alright and please can he call soon and can GN have a really great time. Blessings

Grateful for this Tuesday

Universe 1) I am grateful that more people haven't been injured in the bombings at the Boston Marathon. Lets hope that doesn't change. 2) I am grateful I live in a safe country. We don't seem to have many enemies and since we are small, the bad guys tend to leave us alone. 3) I am grateful for my banana smoothie that Pa made for me this morning. 4) I am grateful for my second breakfast of sour dough toast and coffee. Very much needed today. 5) I am grateful that people were being sensible on the roads while I was driving. It is cold and raining and usually there are a lot of accidents in that weather but this morning was good. Blessings

Grateful for this Monday

Universe 1) I am grateful I chose to have the day off yesterday. I didn't sleep well and I had abdo pain so it was a legitimate sick day but I think I still could have gone to work if I wanted to. 2) I am grateful for the extra sleep I was able to get yesterday. That caught me up. 3) I am grateful I was able to get an appointment with my Dr. 4) I am grateful I was in a reasonably good mood yesterday after the Dr's. I needed to get some prescriptions filled so I went next door to the Dr and I was waiting for half and hour. Just as well he had chairs. If my mood wasn't so good, I would have become quite annoyed and possibly angry and made a scene, but no. I was cool calm and collected. 5) I am grateful I was able to get to sleep so early. Usually after a nana nap, it is hard to get to sleep that night. I had a reasonably good sleep actually. Blessings

Universe 1) I am grateful I was alert enough to get to work. I was really tired and found myself blinking a lot to keep awake.

Grateful for this Saturday

It's time for Diva to be grateful again. I have been absent from showing gratitude for so long mainly because I felt I didn't have anything to be grateful for. That's not true. There were times where I was grateful but I was too afraid to put it in writing incase something went wrong and I jinxed it. Now starts my ritual again. I know how important it is to show gratitude to the universe for even the smallest thing so here I go. Universe 1) I am grateful for my new car. It has been 4 months since I first got her and I just love it. I love that I can crank up a working radio and be nice and relaxed during my drive. 2) I am grateful for my mental health status. I am in a really good headspace at the moment. My psychologist says I seem content and he is right. I haven't felt like this for years. 3) I am grateful for milkshakes. I have just had a strawberry one and it was delicious. 4) I am grateful for date night with pa. We had cheep and cheerful chinese for dinne
