Survival
Very thankful I realised I wasn't wearing my glasses & found them before they got damaged. Also that I'd dropped them on the ground rather than in the post box.
That I had a blanket in the car so could take off my wet coat & still wrap up a little. That I got to the post box & posted my signed paperwork.
For husband bringing me a smoothie as a treat, & for all the effort he puts into meals and treats for me. Including things like choosing the jigsaws. & for signing up for the course with me.
That I got a reply from my coach & she's happy for me to quit, so I'm quitting.
That I was home in time to speak to someone having issues. That I stayed reasonably calm & got through my work, & had fun chatting with a workmate.
That I made it to Pilates & am enjoying my new "space". For the teacher keeping the class online & that I got to make a recommendation for an exercise to include.

Holidays
Thankful to remember Pilates, that it was a good session & I managed well. That there's plenty of room for me in the kitchen & it's a better place to do it. Thankful to teacher for keeping it going.
To husband for organising food, & looking after me, for checking if I want hot chocolate & then making it for me.
To friends I've been chatting with today, & for the reminder to be compassionate.
That I got the bunny in before the weather turned bad. That the Christmas decorations fit into the box, & I got the tree away ok.
That husband's made progress on the jigsaw with me so there's hope we'll get it finished this time.
For holidays, and holiday pay, & enjoying a relaxing start to the day.
For all the entertainment we have, & the access to people & resources via the internet.

Better
Thankful to wake up feeling better.
That the rain was bad, glad I cancelled the walk, & got the jigsaw finished & husband put it away & got the next one out.
That I resisted ice-cream tonight & husband didn't make me hot chocolate. He bought me flowers when he went shopping, & knows my favourites. That he remembered the stuff I asked for & even found the more obscure dried fruit that he'd never got before.
That the scarf is looking good, & was worth pulling out & restarting.
That I did my shift, & friend popped on too so we weren't overwhelmed & I had the sense to stop when I needed to.
That I can go to bed when I'm tired, without obligations.

Resting
Food deliveries, & other deliveries.
Being able to take it easy.
Freedom from obligations, being able to spend my time how I wish.
That we have voices and the freedom to use them, platforms like facebook, linkedin, & blogs.
That husband looks after me, & knows when to leave me alone. For a calm, drama-free life.
For food in the cupboard, & a warm safe house, & running water & electricity.
That we have plenty of space and time for hobbies, and rest.
