When I started working in the COVID ICU I was having a hard time, but I stuck to my morning ritual of meditation, journaling, therapy, and gratitude. I listened to a song by Londrelle every morning as I walked on the unit and it helped me put it all into perspective everyday. A year later I met Londrelle & was able to share how his song helped me fight everyday.
Being able to reflect on that time in my life and how far Ive come and meet one of the artists that helped me through felt full circle. And to be in this gratitude challenge - I am proof that it works 💫

I am setting up for our annual adopt-a-child Christmas program. We provide gifts to our county foster children and their foster families for a party they have in early December.
Allows me to help someone less fortunate.

4 favourite things in my day:
- Finally getting a PS5 (though probably paid too much life is short :-) - gonna say it is for the kids but lets be honest here :-)
- Driving to pick up Quentin from Halloween party- appreciate the night drive listening to music with little traffic on the roads and some me time (even if just for a bit)
- My regular walk with my good bud George(shootin the shit and walking the doggos)
- Cleaning up the balcony and tending to the plants (cathartic and needed doing before the next big downpour)

I am grateful for my body. It's not in the same shape it was when I was younger. I am grateful for a mostly healthy body that keeps me moving through all the things I want and need to do.
When I can do Yoga and get out for a walk with my dog, it makes my day a million times better!

I didn't have to make a plan for dinner during a very stressful time.

When I was young, my older brother taught me to knit. However, he never taught me to read patterns. Before my first grandchild was born, I decided to teach myself how to read knitting patterns. Five years later I’m knitting things I never imagined I would be able to.
Knitting is my zen. I do it everywhere. It’s the absolute best way to relax plus you end up with awesome gifts to give away.

5. Grateful for the daily morning “wellness checks“ with my sisters via text message. Although we are many miles away from each other, this ability to share our mundane plans for the day, news, and general joking around helps me to feel close.
Thankful for this technology – we are but a text message away from each other!

she is always here for me and I genuinely believe that she is a loyal friend to me.
this benefits me because I feel supported and I'm grateful to have someone I can trust.

She is supporting my efforts to start a Critical Incident Stress Mgmt team in my facility. She understands the complexities of starting something new in within a healthcare environment and I don’t have that experience. It is daunting and she is very positive and supportive.
This process is complex and could easily be overwhelming. She is helping me stay positive and follow the necessary steps without getting overwhelmed.

My neighbor is a very religious person. As such, I was very hesitant to ask if they'd be willing to help my daughter celebrate Halloween. After a brief discussion of what it meant to my daughter, I was surprised when my neighbor said they'll gladly get some candy to help my kiddo have a nice time on Sunday.
We're Americans living in Belgium and this is her first opportunity to do Trick or Treating. She's four and has spent half of her life in Covid times. I am so grateful that my neighbors are willing to help me give her a taste of the traditional experience

I went out into the coffee collaboration space at work and someone’s lunch smelled delicious. I was surprised to see my son was sitting at a table eating. The smell was HIS lunch and he shared it. I had brought my own lunch but his just smelled so good. It made my day that he was willing to share with me.
I was able to eat something I wasn’t planning on in addition to my lunch.

I am volunteering at the SACC as a sustainability report writer and greeter.
It is going to be a global event and something I have never done before.
