I was having a very rough night last night, and my brother came up to me and told me that he is there for me and that I'm welcome to hang out with him whenever I want or need to. He also said that he enjoys talking with me because I seem to always have something new to tell him.

He reassured me that I can spend time with him, which is good because I often felt too much like I was intruding or something along those lines if I went to see him.

I am grateful to be able to live in the beautiful Bay Area, despite all of the challenges that come with living here, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.

I was looking out my back window this morning and it hit me "this was my dream for my entire childhood and young adulthood" - a house. And look where I live now!! Of course I have thought about how grateful I am for this beautiful gift I have been given many times through the years, but not recently. Needed that reminder.

I found myself digging through old photos to find a photo of the house - always nice to look through photos (we have taken thousands over the years) and saw how this house has been such a blessing for my entire family. And my friends as well, we have received many complements over the years about how welcoming we are to everyone - a lot of parties, gatherings, sleep overs.... Being able to share this wonderful house has been a big added bonus. This house has indeed been the gift that keeps giving.

Today was rough. Not going to lie.... I know what it is. I'm getting super annoyed by how much time my wife spends with her family. It's constant. It's 24/7. It's all day, every day. It never ends. Her mom if in the phone with her so the flipping time.

So it's a little hard to find something to be thankful for. But it is that today I made $80+ dollars in about 3 hours.

I feel grateful that Jen McGinlay took time to work with me and show me what she was doing on Sharepoint.

It is much easier to learn when I am going through it with someone else.

I am grateful for my health, the easy traffic this morning on the way to work, the light (as we're coming out of winter), and all the nice bird sounds. I am grateful that my dad isn't upset with me about mixing up my schedule and us having to reschedule dinner tentatively planned for this week.

I feel easy, relaxed, and calm as I continue my morning and beginning of the work day.

I was able to help my colleague with a tricky oxygen case she was working on. I helped her think through the challenge, and plan the next steps.

It felt great, I felt appreciated and a part of our team.

I started listening to a podcast called "Ologies with Alie Ward."

It's about various niche sciences and fields of study / expertise, and listening to these experts talk about their passions helped me to realize that it's possible to find excitement and wonder in the real world.

You know this one is pretty big. Being able to "get back some" of what I lost by door dashing...

Helps me to realize that not everything is a loss.

A privilege to have a good friend that supports me.

We talk and walk together and I feel happier.

This neighbor has been inviting me over to his apartment to watch the Winter Olympics on TV.

I've never been able to follow sports that much due to my disability. The play-by-play announcers on TV do a good job, and this neighbor does a good job as well.

A neighbor turned me on to Tai Chi. He and I recently started doing it with another friend who works close by.

I never did Tai Chi before, so this is a learning experience for me and I enjoy it thus far.

Grateful for my catch up walk with Z, our glorious outing in the SF Botanical Garden and Golden Gate Park. Grateful for the warm day, and all of the flowers we saw --- camellia, rhododendron, magnolia trees, azaleas and much more.

My friend C was there when I needed (wanted) to share about the emotions of being back in shul/ at services.

He is wise, experienced in life and Judaism and Torah, and seemed to understand what I was feeling and why. He didn't judge. He made me feel normal.

He went shopping for dinner tonight and picked up my favorite Harvest Snap Pea Crisps.

I had ran out of my treats and he picked them up so I could enjoy them tonight!

Another Aw-Ha moment in therapy session today…
Trusting others, just trust in general is a issue for me.
Anyone and everyone of my life has let me down a disappointing me when it came to promises

It caused me to try and learn to let my guard down. Let people IN to my world

Opened up about their struggles trusted me enough to share with me and told me that they were appreciative

It helped by reminding me that I really do have a lot to be great full

Some neighbors and I watched a movie about Sam Cook a couple days ago, and this next-door neighbor enabled the audio-description feature so that I could follow along.

I was born blind, and audio descriptions are very helpful to me because they convey information which I'd otherwise miss out on.

My tutor came yesterday to see me, and I was a bit under the weather. I requested some soup, so he made me some beef broth.

I woke up just a bit ago feeling better, thanks to the soup and banana which was given to me by a neighbor/friend.
