Gratitude, Day 24: I am grateful for podcasts.

I like to listen to podcasts while I work. It’s a great way to block out background noise and means I can learn while I work. Life doesn’t suck…because there are so many podcasts available offering so much information. I’ve always been a reader. Books have kept me up way too late all my life. […]

Gratitude, Day 23: I am grateful for the internet.

The internet gives me a job. It makes information readily available and it allows us to do more and more each day as the technology rapidly advances. When I first used the internet it was on a dial-up connection using an early version of Internet Explorer. I most likely used Yahoo to search. It would […]

Gratitude, Day 22: I am grateful for music.

I listen to a lot of music. Today I spent the day listening to someone’s Summer 2019 playlist on Spotify. I’ve never met this person, but they had shared their playlist on their website. The playlist was a combination of music I already love and a bunch of stuff I’d never heard before, but have […]

Gratitude, Day 21: I am grateful for my family.

My family has always played a big part in my life. At high school, I was a minority because my parents were still together. Life doesn’t suck…because I’m lucky to have my family and their support. Christmas is just ten days away. This is a huge family time for us. All of my family that […]

Gratitude, Day 20: I am grateful for taking time to recharge.

I love taking time to recharge. There is nothing as good as sleeping in on a Saturday morning after a busy week of work. It feels good to sleep until you feel like you’ve had enough sleep. Life doesn’t suck…because I take time to recharge. This morning I didn’t need to leave the house. We’d […]

Gratitude, Day 19: I am grateful for everyone’s generosity.

This week I have been to four Christmas parties in five days. It’s been a very busy week, but I’m grateful for everyone’s generosity. Life doesn’t suck…because of everyone’s generosity. Christmas is always busy, but this year it’s been extra busy. We’ve just arrived home after driving for five hours for the last Christmas party […]

Gratitude, Day 18: I am grateful that everything comes right in the end.

Everything comes right in the end. Whenever something has felt terrible or hard it always sorts itself out. Yesterday’s computer catastrophy lasted all of 24 hours before it came right. Life doesn’t suck…because everything comes right in the end. This morning I left for work feeling depressed about the prospect of having to replace my […]

Gratitude, Day 17: I am grateful for having a backup plan.

I’m grateful for my backup plan. Today my computer decided that it didn’t want to come to work. It’s something that I dread. I work on my computer all day everyday. Today it wasn’t going to progress past the boot screen. Life doesn’t suck…because I have a backup plan. When your whole business revolves around […]

Gratitude, Day 16: I am grateful for the real people.

Real people make life awesome. I define a real person as someone who is exactly what they say they are. They aren’t hiding behind some persona, and you see the same version of them no matter who they are around. Life doesn’t suck…because of real people. It’s refreshing to spend time around people who aren’t […]

Gratitude, Day 15: I am grateful that I have enough

I have enough. This is something we don’t often say. We always talk about what we want. Life doesn’t suck…because I have enough. We spend our lives wanting more. All the time thinking about what we want. It’s good to stop and think “hey, I have what I need, I have enough.” I have a […]
