Going back to gratitude
Admittedly, things have not been bad, but I feel bad. I am generally good at externalizing stress, and it is just coming from all angles. My wife is stressing, and it is contagious. So, I am going to reset my mindset and focus on the things I am grateful for today.
- My youngest is about to turn 2 and is having a birthday party this weekend. He has his own personality, funny, wild, inquisitive, strong willed, and fully embracing his terrible twos.
- It is snowing. And now the sun is out.
- No big plans for Thanksgiving. Not hosting. Hoping for a small gathering.
- We just got back from vacation and knocked a destination off the bucket list. The kids did relatively great while traveling.
- I am reading more. I am rereading Dune and almost done with the first book.
- We are cancelling Hulu. I cancelled some other streaming services. Going to focus on reading, unpacking, cleaning, and other productive tasks
- We are going to get HBO max instead
- I am done training at work in a few weeks. The new hire is doing well.
- I think I fixed a shipping issue for my wife's new phone. I may have to drive to FedEx but otherwise dodged a big issue.
- College basketball is back. Going to at least one game.
