Gratitudes
Today I was grateful for a sandwich.
It might sound strange, but today I was grateful for a made at home turkey and Swiss sandwich. Not because the sandwich was amazing, but because I was incredibly hungry and not looking forward to foraging for food. I arrived to my kitchen to find a sandwich already made, for my daughter, not for me, but then she says, “Mom, I’m not hungry, you should have the sandwich.” So perhaps better stated would be that I am grateful to my partner for making said sandwich, and grateful to my daughter who was apparently not hungry.
Today I was grateful for my patients trust.
This one could be repeated on numerous days. Although my work entails helping people access and be with their vulnerabilities, I don’t want to discount how incredibly hard that is to do. I never want to take for granted the amount of trust that patients place in me to hold such a space for them, and I will always be grateful that they find solace in my guidance, it’s a true honor.
Today I was grateful for my own bad assery.
I don’t think we say this enough. Today I am saying it. Today I accomplished much, in many various realms. Sometimes these days of self care, household management, running a business, being with patients, and helping friends can be draining and difficult at best, but today…today I kicked ass in all categories and that simply felt good.
