your wish is granted

Today, I am grateful for my paycheck. It was hard to motivate myself today, but I did by focusing on what about the workday I could be thankful for. 

I am learning how to focus first on my self-care and then, if I have energy left to give, on what I can do for others.  

I accomplished recognizing how I "check-out" by over stretching myself at work. I deprive myself of pleasures throughout the day and then make choices which only provide temporary comfort. 

I delighted in being candid with a soul sister about how I was feeling, in a real conversation with my boss, and in witnessing my dog bring his Kong into the kitchen, asking for it to be filled with peanut butter, and wagging his tail when he realized his wish was granted.
