Better at Being Grateful (4/21 Gratitude Challenge)

Today I realise I was a day behind in my ‘calendar’ so will be grateful in two ways:

  1. Writing about something I feel grateful for in my life today.
  2. Writing a short message of thanks about the ‘negative’ things in my life

One
Today I am grateful that I didn’t have to interact with too many people.  I am grateful for me and for them.

Two
Okay this is a hard one – not that today I found the above one easy – obviously!  I have been sitting here for a long time thinking.  On a good day only the people in my immediate vicinity shit me – on a bad day it is planetary.  Doing this reminds me of a series of videos I was going to do called “Things That Shit Me and People Who Can Get Fucked” – it was a way to deal with the “6 Percenters” and those who walk amongst us who really, really, need to be told to get fucked.  I never made the video’s, other than the one telling people why I was not going to make the videos – I still sometimes think I should have made the videos….

So here is my short message for today of thanks about the ‘negative’ thing in my life:

“I am grateful today I did not have to deal with them in any real way”

So, what was today.  Well it was a day when it was hard to be grateful for all the things I know I should be grateful for.  It was a day where it was best to do nothing as opposed to do damage.  It was an inside day with an inside voice.

The best part is that I am appreciating the silence of the end of the day.  Not all days are good days – and I suppose that’s what make the good days good…

Luckily tomorrow is a mystery….. I am grateful for that.

  1. I was just thinking earlier today the hassle of earning my P plates would be drastically reduced if i could simply drive a tank through traffic and circumvent the headache of avoiding other similar homicidal commuters.

    I realize this comes with the presumption that I would be the only person driving a tank through a residential area and further thought would suggest that all commuters driving safely ensconced within 62 metric tonnes of armor plating could pose problems, the Death toll would be negligible this is also presuming that the cannons are not operational.

    I’m grateful for my own critical thinking skills, i firmly believe most would stop at “man i wish i could drive a tank through this rabble then my valuable time and presence could be utilized elsewhere” conveniently ignoring the fact that we live in a equal and fair society and that if one man can have a tank then everyone can have one.

    In short i no longer want a tank, its no fun if everyone gets one.
