Grateful
It’s an ugly day out here in San Francisco. It’s been cold and rainy for the last week, but today feels especially dark and depressing. I saw a bit of hail this morning and it looks like it’s 6pm out my office window right now. Couple the bad weather with the fact that it’s Monday, and it’s not an ideal scenario.
On Mondays like today, I try my best to stay positive. I’ve realized that in my past, it’s been easy to fall into a down Monday just by focusing on the negativity.
One of the tricks to staying in a positive mindset over the years is to write down things that I’m grateful for. I used to keep a journal and write 3 things I’m grateful for everyday, but I’ve since switched to blogging everyday instead. So I figured that today I get back to that to start my day off on a positive note.
Today I am grateful for:
A warm apartment where I was able to get some much needed rest
A great weekend to myself where I was able to recharge and get caught up in life
Cats. I was cat sitting for my friends who were out of town and I had a great time bonding with a very cute kitten.
Maybe I’ll get back to doing it every Monday.
