Day 241: Making Clear + Good Talk

Today I learned...
...that sometimes we have to make our thoughts and intentions clear so that we will be taken seriously.

Today I am thankful for...
a good talk with Rick.

Day 240: Expectations + Validation

Today I learned...
...that I cannot expect mean people to act nice or expect sanity from insanity. Sometimes everything good I can do will still be perceived incorrectly.

Today I am thankful for...
...friends who let me vent after a really, really rough day at work. Worst phone call from a client I've ever had in the 7 years of my profession. I was really upset and people validated me.

Day 239: Brother + Discussions

Today I learned...
...that my brother and I really have some profound talks. Even via email.

Today I am thankful for...
...a husband who wants to engage my brother in discussion they way I do.

Day 238: Busy + Pool Day

Today I learned...
...that this week is going to be really, really busy at work.

Today I am thankful for...
...the pool day I had yesterday with a friend. Was a good start to a crazy week!

Day 237: Dementia + CD Reaction

Today I learned...
...that my mother-in-law is not doing well with her dementia. Makes me sad.

Today I am thankful for...
...my friend's reaction to a CD I really love and had shared with her.

Day 236: Second-guessing + Practice Exam

Today I learned...
...that second-guessing myself is not the best idea.

Today I am thankful for...
...passing the fairly difficult simulated practice exam for licensure. Hallelujah!

Day 235: Mind + Safety

Today I learned...
...that we make things so big and powerful in our own heads, when really we don't have to. We have a choice.

Today I am thankful for...
...the knowledge that a friend is okay after a hard night.
