Gratituesday 11.8.22 - Going, Going, Gone

Being sick sucks. I started feeling the ick last Thursday and it’s gone from a scratchy throat to congestion to a cough. And of course, I rested a bit and then I did what I usually do - I push through it. My body just couldn’t take my long day yesterday - and my voice started going, going, and it’s GONE today.

It should come as no surprise that I am a people pleaser. I don’t like letting people down or saying no. But you take my voice away and I need to do other things to be heard. Or I need to be quiet for my body to tell me what it needs.

It’s hard being your own advocate. But sadly, no one is going to it but me. Things are tough right now, so it took a little longer to find the good. But here we go!

Gratitudes

  1. That I have time to rest

  2. My yoga practice and my regular students

  3. My cat, Maxie for being super snuggly (I know it’s a wash, because he’s been equally a pain in the ass and knocking shit over…or off of things - ALL THE TIME!)

  4. Hot showers

  5. Getting out into the sunshine today to go VOTE!

Celebrations

  1. That I finally stood up for myself and my health

  2. Great feedback from one of my recent bride’s mother

  3. 751 Days of Spanish on Duolingo

  5. That the second of 2 gift packages I sent TWO weeks ago - and got lost somewhere in Atlanta - FINALLY got delivered today.

Desires

  1. To get my voice back, and to just be well

  2. Milk for my coffee - but I have been drinking tea the last few days

  3. For my pending couples to respond to my emails. I mean, what’s going on with the ghosting?

  4. To plan my 2023 trips

  5. More wedding and counseling inquiries
