I am thankful that I know how to take whatever I've got on hand in the kitchen and manage to cook something delicious to eat. Like tonight, I'm baking chicken and it's glazed with Teriyaki sauce and I'm steaming a pan of Jasmine rice, to go with the chicken. Yummy.
I'm also thankful that I made myself go out and about the world today. While getting an errand crossed off my list, I happened to meet someone new who used to attend the college where I earned my Bachelor of Science degree. We stood under a tree while it rained (there was blue skies earlier, lol!), and shared stories from our college years. After our short visit, we both felt like we made a new friend. She works on campus where I earned my Master's degree, so maybe we'll see each other again one day.
I'm thankful for the energy to keep going from day to day because it's not been easy to do that, for the past few weeks. Keeping myself busy helps, but having quiet time helps me to deal with unexpected changes in life.
And I am thankful to experience life each day that goes by.
Just to live, breathe, think, feel, and be good to me.
