Maybe I should restart with what I'm grateful for. I'm grateful for spending all of my free time with a man who adores me and tells me how happy he is when he is with me. I'm grateful for students who think well of me and value my happiness and spent my birthday letting me know how much they appreciate me with singing, gifts, food, games, and celebrations. I'm grateful for friends who contacted me to wish me well and family who sent me cards, gifts, and greetings. I'm grateful for the sound of dog feet around the house. I'm grateful for the delicious meals that have been made for me and that I've gotten to make... For two types of cake. For lounging in bed, for books, movies and tv shows. I'm grateful for a job that allowed me a weekend off to spend doing just what I wanted. I'm grateful that my proposal is accepted. I am grateful that my ducks are in a row to graduate this fall. I am grateful that I get to dance and laugh.
I am having a tough time with the caveats. With the "yes, but..." Or the "yes, and..." Living fully means accepting and letting go of a lot of sh#t you can't change. I'm working on that.
