  • i’m grateful i did language practice again this morning, despite waking up feeling not great (i think my head laid wrong on the pillow or something).
  • i’m grateful i picked up the phone at work tonight, after office hours. it was a short and easy phone call.
  • i’m grateful i’ve been pretty good about making notes of gratitudes during the day so that i only have to do the final phrasing when i write these and not necessarily think of 3 whole gratitudes at the end of the day. perk of a really bad memory: you get to relive a tiny moment of your day that you might have otherwise forgotten :)
  • i’m grateful i did at least some offline leisure activity tonight.

(these are all self-gratitudes i think :o )
