- **i’m grateful for the wonderful dinner i had tonight.** curry udon! 😋 the dessert was also very good! - **i’m grateful i perceived today’s time at the office as way more chill and way less stressful than yesterday’s.** don’t know if that’s objectively true, but it’s amazing in either case to feel more positive and relaxed about [anything] (and work in particular). - self-gratitude: **i’m grateful i brought all my goals out of the red tonight.** (if you look at my dashboard and think “wait, you’re lying, two goals are still red,” you’d be wrong, because these don’t count. one is my steps goal which is broken until i get my new debit/credit card, and the other one has a 3 p.m. deadline and i have to check it off after i wake up tomorrow, so it’s not red-because-about-to-derail-red, it’s misleadingly-red-but-actually-safe-and-well-still-red. xD) ---
