My thank you’s are belated this week because yesterday was a very busy day, and also a bit of a downer frustrating day in some ways, so it’s very important for me to remind myself what I have to be thankful for without further a do.
1. I’m thankful for the understanding nature of some of the people that I work with in the business world. Our mortgage broker also works for our insurance company. They’re always reliable for mundane things like auto insurance quotes and other rate quotes, but they’re never pushy. I feel that they truly have our best interests at heart. She called the other day to ask me if my husband and I had thought any more about the mortgage insurance protection plan that she had recommended. I told her that we would like to do it but we’re still struggling financially, and she said she completely understand that there’s lots of “Oh, crap I didn’t budget for that!!” moments when you buy a new house and that she’d talk to us at a later date about it, perhaps after our taxes come in and we have a bit more float money built back up.
2. I’m thankful that we were able to find a friendly good natured cat to become a member of our family and give her a safe and happy home. She’s so laid back she’s practically horizontal. You can do anything, within reason, to her and she doesn’t bat an eye. The munchkin’s hung her upside down and she’s just carefully pulled away and walked off so she can get to higher ground. No hissing. No spitting. No scratching or clawing. I’m very glad she chose us. I love having the cat in our house. I’ve missed curling up on the couch and snuggling with a purring feline.
3. I’m thankful for my medical team. My primary care provider, therapist and psychiatrist are wonderful at working together and helping me get back on an even keel, not sending me for too many tests, and not forcing me to be on medications that I don’t want to be on. They want to work with me to do what I want to do as long as it’s in my best interests to get better, and they actually listen to me when I talk to them. It’s great.
What are you thankful for this week? Let me know. I’d love to hear from other people about good things going on in their life.
Great list. I, too, am thankful for a lovely cat who doesn’t freak out. Well, he freaks out sometimes, but not for any particular reason. Earlier he put his paw up on the windowsill and peered out, then turned to look at me, and I swear I wouldn’t have been surprised if he’d started talking. I’m not one of those batty “CATS THINK THEY’RE PEOPLE” pet owners, but man, I swear…
I’m also thankful for the fact that my fiancé and I have such an overall great life together. We recently had to deal with something unpleasant and it turned out just fine after all – I didn’t even pick any fights. Hooray!
That’s very cool, thank you for sharing.
