    Love the lists @Lhiver and @ScorpionPW

    Yeah we might get a white Christmas at this rate @ScorpionPW – LOL

    This week I’m grateful for………..

    - Perspective……..a car went through a red light last week and crashed into mine. It’s such an inconvenience and has impacts for the Christmas break but at the end of the day I’m walking away. I could have been hurt much worse………….accidents happen……….but it did get me thinking about just how much my life could have changed in the blink of an eye

    - A break this week to rest, recoup, and reset my focus

    - Being able to talk some things through with a friend

    @ScorpionPW The warm weather is such a godsend! I was really not feeling very festive this time a week ago

    @PnorkelPW I am so relived to hear you are okay! That must have been such a terrifying experience! As you've said, accidents like that really bring everything into perspective. I hope you're okay and giving yourself some time to process and fully recover.

    Thanks @Lhiver and @ScorpionPW


    Today I’m grateful for………….

    - Water………I went and just floated in the pool for a while before a sauna. I love the feeling of floating

    - My daughter’s excitement about Christmas. I’m not much of a celebrator, in fact, I’m a bit of a Christmas grinch – LOL – but seeing how excited she gets has helped me get into the spirit and I actually enjoyed shopping for her presents knowing they’d make her happy

    - Dinner with my dad and daughter last night……..and perspective to just enjoy it

    I’ll start the year with some gratitude…………

    Three things I’m grateful for are:

    - Holidays………..I really need this two week break I’m on and having the sun out just makes it sooooo much better. Summer is finally here

    - Living close to the beach. I plan on spending quite a bit of time there this summer. I might not always be swimming but just being there, walking, sitting, meditating, or whatever else just grounds me and puts me at peace

    - Two weeks with my daughter. Only usually seeing her every Wednesday night and every second weekend this is going to be awesome
