A Post of Gratitude

“Today was a good day.” -Ice Cube
Sometimes the earth smiles, the stars align, and the moon shines on you. Some days you awake before your alarm and aren’t resentful. Some days you remember to take your meds and start your day with stretching. Some days your afro is shaped just right. Some days you check things off your to-do list before their due dates. Some days you answer calls that impact someone’s life. Some days you attend meetings at which everyone has something interesting to say yet knows when to stop talking. Some days you get a parking spot right in the front and don’t have to parallel park or, worse, back in a spot. Some days you don’t have to wait for the machines at the gym. Some days you sing along to every song while you work out even though you’re perpetually off-key. Some days you learn that a bill is $200 less than you expected. Some days you use the ATM to make a deposit. Some days you laugh with children and talk to strangers. Some days are 76 degrees with blue skies. Some days you get full from a huge salad of greens from your garden. Some days your app informs you that you have been migraine free for 44 days. Some days you have the perfect cup of chamomile and lavender tea. Some days…well nights, you remember to charge yourself and your crystals under the full moonlight.
I am so full of gratitude for such days.
