ten things tuesday

Ten things I'm grateful for in my ordinary life:

1)  Since I broke my foot, I have had to be vulnerable and ask for help.  I am grateful that I have strong enough friendships that people are willing to help me.  As I talk to myself about this, I remind myself that I would do the same for them.

2)  I am grateful for my daily bubbly beverage.  I've been going between Waterloo Lemon Lime water, Topo Chico Raspberry Lime water, or Polar Orange Dry diet soda.  They are a light, refreshing treat.  And sometimes I just want bubbles!

3)  I am grateful for the changing seasons.  There is always something beautiful to look at.  I know I grumble and whine about winter, but it is a sight to behold.

4)  I am grateful that I can cook decent meals.  I need to build up my repertoire.

5)  I am grateful that I have time to heal.

6)  I am grateful that I have a cozy apartment with a kind landlord.  

7)  I am grateful that I can amuse myself by reading book reviews and adding to my TBR.

8)  I am grateful for afternoon naps and lazy days.

9)  I am grateful that I will spend quality time with my sisters.  It's going to look different since I can't do the running around I traditionally do, but we'll spend quality time together.

10) I am grateful for this annual fall vacation.  I feel like I can recharge to make it to Thanksgiving.

#1: You've mentioned how important your independence is to you, so I can only imagine how difficult this has been for you. I think it's cool that you see it as an opportunity for growth. #3: You sound like my favorite grandma! #6: Glad you have a comfortable, peaceful place to recuperate.
