I am grateful for the financial prosperity that enabled me to purchase the toys and items for my children that still fill my house. While I suffer from difficulty decluttering, at least we always had more than we needed and have never been homeless or hungry.

oops posted following message on here, should have been on "what are you doing today"

Today I am grateful that I finally went to costco and bought lots of frozen fruit and vegetables, and soy milk to make my smoothies, and soup. Took list and was quick to shop and bought nothing but was on list, no stops at any other store or thrift shop.
I am feeling better today, each day less pain in mouth. Still if I am active and blood is pumping, I really feel it where tooth was removed.
costco. even playing fetch I notice it. Once I got home, put all groceries away, played fetch, was pretty tired. Max, bosses dog, is here for the weekend. These 2 dogs get along and play well together, so will be easier. Max is small and other dog is 4 times bigger at least, they got in each others beds, very funny. The little one was playing with big soccer ball, big dog was playing with 4 inch soccer ball, very funny. I used to kick the ball and Molly would stop it then run out for a pass, little dog did the same.

today I am grateful for:

sunshine

that it is ok to take it easy until mouth heals

that I learn things by reading your posts

that I have everything I need

that dog will be going home on the 10th

Today I am grateful for . . .

*** friends here who remind me that I have everything I need

*** that I have a good doctor who also is kind

*** a good refrigerator.

Which makes me think of Rome and be thankful we don't have lead water pipes.

Today I am grateful for . . .

*** a growing ability to acquire less and get rid of more

*** working indoor plumbing

*** the water that flows through those pipes.

Today I am grateful . . .

*** for helpful books to read and for the people who write them

*** that I have two feet

*** for nice people in the world.

Today I am grateful that my painful tooth is out and that all other teeth appear to be ok.

Grateful that this pain is temporary

that I have pain medicine if I absolutely have to take it.

that it is sunny out

that people wished me well at dentist appt.

that dentist charged so little and was so kind and efficient.

That long term dentist charges so much so had to find a new dentist.

That things always turn out for the best

That I am smart enough, to not waste energy being angry at previous dentist, crap happens, no need to waste another minute thinking of ways to get him to be responsible for pulling wrong tooth (if in fact that did happen) Legal action would be a stress I do not need in my life. Letting go is a big lesson.
