Gratitude LIst 18DEC21

 What am I grateful for today?

1.  I slept for 7.5 hours last night!  I've been having so much trouble sleeping and the last few nights have been extra bad.  Granted, I had to take the generic night-time flu hot drink to get the sleep, but I got it.  Today was awesome--even though it was super busy (and rainy) at work, because I was rested.  It has some meds in it that rise blood pressure, though, so I can't take it on the reg.  Just now and then when I really need it.  

2.  I'm thankful for friends. When I posted about the above-mentioned sleeping problem on FB, several people responded with specific methods to fix the problems and specific substances/products which could help me sleep better.  

3.  I'm thankful for the--now, traditional--Christmas Lights at Mozart's to which Rachel invites me.  We went last night and it was a beautiful time!  The lights were lovely.  The musician did a great job (and he was lovely).  I tipped him $10 and he gave me one of his newest CDs! (He also rubbed his tummy when he talked to me.  The significance of that is something I'll explain in another post (if you remind me.)    Anyway, today--on my longest day of work, I listened to the CD ( Nik Parr and the Selfless Lovers 'When the Bars close down) every time I got in the car. It was really beautiful!  Of course, I liked some songs better than others, but they were all great.  What a talent he has!  He writes the lyrics and music, sings, and plays the saxophone on the CD.   I count myself blessed that I was given a love for music from my parents and that I enjoy all sorts of genres.   

I'm the luckiest girl in the world, y'all! :)
