For those of you just joining in on this monthly feature, here’s how it works: each day, one little line in my journal starts with the three words above. I am grateful. I can’t remember when I started doing this, but it has evolved into a fun and rewarding little habit. Every day, I list one thing I am grateful for, whether it be serious, silly, or stupid. You can look back at previous months here.
While I really only do this for myself as a reminder of all the things I have to be grateful for, I figured it would be a fun little monthly post to review my five favorite entries each month. Here’s what I’ve got for February (most of which happen to be job related) …
February 8: I am grateful that, despite the fact that we’re working polar opposite schedules, Brian and I are doing what it takes to make it.
February 13: I am grateful for a quick little day date with Bri, even if it was just to the grocery store and the taco place.
February 19: I am grateful that my interview went so well!
February 26: I am grateful that I was officially offered the job today, after nine months of searching and 27 applications!
February 28: I am grateful to have started my new job today! (Though it was exhausting working there 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and at the restaurant from 4 to 11 p.m.)…
Congrats on the new job! I had a day job and worked at a restaurant nights/weekends for a while so I understand how you feel. Thankfully I didn't have to keep up that schedule forever 🙂
Thanks, Amanda! And yes, I'm also grateful this schedule won't last forever – hopefully only a few weeks!
