Yesterday traffic was really bad so I just talked to my mom in the car for most of the time. I enjoyed talking to her
I had something to do in the car and my mom is interesting to talk to

Yesterday, when I picked Ingrid up from daycare, a number of teachers (that I didn't know) said good-bye to her by name.
Starting your kid at a new daycare can be hard and unsettling - you have no idea what's going on there! Hearing that other teachers at school already know her by name and were making her (and me) feel welcome made me feel really good about her being there.

I believe I'm getting sick, but I just feel exhausted and that's the best kind of sickness. I just have to sleep, and I enjoy sleeping.
I will rest a lot and hopefully I won't get too sick.

November gratitude #3: I’m grateful to be able to joyfully read again. In 2020-21, I was not able to read for pleasure; it felt like being dropped into a well. Today, I seem to have returned to pre-pandemic reading levels, and I am so, so grateful for that.

In this picture, you see current/recent reads, or at least the ones that were still hanging around my bedside. Right at the moment, I’m bouncing between Middlemarch and Michael Moorcock’s The End of All Songs.
I have nothing original or interesting to say about the benefits of reading. It takes me to other times and places and selves, and so helps me to think about my own time and place and self. There's a social dimension as well; I talk about what I'm reading with partners and friends, and we often share books with each other, which helps us to find and build commonalities.
A pile of books I've read or am currently reading.

They are taking good care of me.
I don't have to risk exposure to Covid and flu because they bring me what I need.

A ton of delicious food a recent friends-giving -- all of it home made and time with fiends enjoying it.
I got to taste a bunch of people's vegetarian takes on thanksgiving classics, plus some things that were totally new to me for the holiday like home-made mochi, hand pies, and 'meat'balls made with eggplant. For someone who loves to cook it was very inspiring :)
Plus we all got to spend some QT together.

We have recently moved in to a temporary living situation in the downstairs furnished apartment of a couple's home. The couple, our landlords, have been so generous with their time and space in welcoming us and making us feel at home here. I am so grateful to have landed with such warm, generous, good people.
Our hosts have dramatically reduced the stress we were feeling as we are trying to transition to a new permanent home in a new town.

Anna had to leave early this morning to take the train to Seattle, so I was on my own getting both kids up and out the door for school. I came downstairs and found coffee made, with a sweet note from my sweetie.
Having coffee ready made my morning go more smoothly, so I could just focus on making breakfast and getting the kids dressed.

Por la vida que me tocó, el lugar físico, las personas que me rodean, la conciencia que he podido formar a partir de ello
Me hace sentir satisfecha y esperanzada

In my absence at work, my technician has helped me attend the jobs that I should have done myself.
Aside from completing task on time, he has also learned new techniques on how to close work orders and book man hours.

I could say that this is someone that I do not know; however, this is someone that my significant other and I just met (virtually) today. My boyfriend and I had our first live couples therapy session today and it has given me so much hope for our future. I am grateful to our new therapist and people in this field for helping us and so many like us regain the love in our relationships. Thank you! <3
With her help I believe that my relationship with my boyfriend can someday thrive like it used to.

My granddaughter is a very strong and healthy child. She has not been sick since this time last year. She is sick now, and we are sad to see her this way. But we are not worried, and that is a miraculous gift. Our little one will be fine. I am so, so grateful.
I feel such love and happiness whenever I think about my granddaughter, and when I am with her.

This morning my partner M thanked me for making another relationship of hers possible (we're polyamorous).
This kind of "thanks" is very affirming of our own relationship and our choices. It tells me that she sees our interdependence, and my intentions and efforts on her behalf.

Nos encontramos después de muchos años y ha sido una experiencia muy cariñosa, agradezco los buenos recuerdos, el cariño con el que me recuerda y la posibilidad de ofrecerle también un recuerdo cariñoso.
Me ayudan a recordar que es en la memoria de las personas donde podemos ver la huella que hemos dejado y me motiva a seguir siendo una persona positiva

Driving Paula home from the Singh Meadows.
I believe she was appreciative. It was fun to see her neighborhood.

I saw my 18-year-old son vote for the first time this past Tuesday. He did the research on his own, came to his own conclusions, and voted. He didn't consider not-voting to be an option.

I'm grateful that he can vote and I'm weirdly grateful *to him* for taking advantage of the opportunity to participate.
It makes me feel like I did something right in raising my son.
My son voting in the midterm on Tuesday.

A lady here on this site posts in Spanish so I used Google Translate to read what she shared.
I made my day to read someone else's joyful share.

I have not slept for 2-3 hours per nigh for at least 3 years but I'm doing what I need to and not screwing around not doing what I should beginning today.
It give me hope that I will finally begin to function as I want and need to!

All of them: They protect my health even when others in our circle tell them that this is silly, paranoid overkill.
Except for 6 weeks at this time last year, I have remained healthy and covid-free. During those sick 6 weeks, I had annoying but unthreatening symptoms in 3 separate infections, with brief periods of recovery in between.
