Gratituesday 6.27.23 - Falling Apart

I’ve had thoughts lately about things falling apart. But I have to be honest and say, things are not so bad. With the fires in Canada, the attack on the LGBTQ community, the fight for a women’s right to choose, the war in Ukraine, my problems are truly first world ones. Sure, I may have a mild case of plantar fasciitis and my stomach has been bothering me and let’s not get into the hot flashes. But are things falling apart? No, not really.

All of this negativity, needs to get balanced out with some gratitude. Throw in some celebration of some achievements and desires for the future, and we have my Weekly Lists. It’s been quite a few weeks since I’ve done these, and I do think taking the time to reflect makes a huge difference. Want to join me? Awesome! The comment section below is always open. I’ll go first!
