On a day when Manitoba has another 84 positive tests for COVID-19 I'm alternately overwhelmed by the news and saddened by an announcement the virus has claimed more lives. I'm also looking forward to a weekend that is framed by being thankful.
While the pandemic has negatively impacted many traditions and celebrations over the last few months, there is sill so much to be thankful for. I've not written a list, but I do start each day reminding myself of what I have in my life that brings me peace, joy, contentment and for which I am truly grateful. Some days it might be my health and that I have purposeful work. On others it might be for a really great podcast, book, or movie. On the weekends it is usually related to an awesome bottle of wine, a new trail explored, needed human connection, or some items removed from the 'to do' list.
Today I am happy that I can sit in the sun that is coming through window and work happily and productively, that I can see endless blue sky, and that there is cheesecake in the fridge.
Have a great weekend. Hang out with the folks that make you smile and laugh and feel good about yourself. Cultivate kindness.
When asked if my cup is half full or half empty my only response is that I am thankful I have a cup. Source unknown.
