Gratitude Journal Day #153: Thursday, 3/4/21

Bet you wondering why I'm swanging on this here pole. Easy, I'm making a point. You keep YOUR head, heart and spirit UP so YOU are YOUR best YOU. That means, I make an effort to smile, laugh, play, talk because the alternative is walking through Thursday with a bad attitude AND hurting. If I'm goofing off, shit hurts so much less. 🤜🏾🤛🏾♿🖤

Friday Eve. *wipes sweat* Let’s go but FIRST, Gratitudes…

4.) Learned I GOTTA keep my legs straight more often – At that PCP visit, she did share one good tip. My legs are contracted from so much sitting in the wheelchair. Her solution was physical therapy. MY solution is adding yoga poses that highlight the stretching and holding of straight legs. Guess which one I’m gonna rock with? Yup, grateful that I’m comfortable enough with yoga that I’m excited to do some new stuff TODAY and I got the opportunity too. 🤜🏾🤛🏾😉

3.) Twisted Love (Hulu, 2021) – This show has the Queen and I STUCK. We watch killer shows like Snapped, Dateline, 1st 48, list goes on and on. The BIG attraction with this one is the storytelling behind episodes. There are enough characters and twists to keep us interested and ignorant. That’s where the Gratitude lies. I’m grateful that I got something to chill and watch with the most amazing Queen in this mug. We had a good time with this and can’t wait to watch it again.

2.) Gotta NEW work shift – 11am – 8pm. Every day. 🙄😬🥺 On one hand, I can sleep in, take my time, start the day righteous and make any necessary adjustments. I’ll leave it like that because I won’t win anything by trying to stack up negatives. I am grateful that yes, it cramps my day but gives me enough time to get things done. I don’t have to rush my entries and since I’m adding those new yoga poses, BOOM. See how that works? That is how being Grateful changes perspective. *snaps fingers*

1.) My FIRST Born is home – *sigh* Got all my kids under one roof, safe, sound, present, electricity, water and food. Greatest Gratitude of the day.

Why keep a Gratitude Journal at all? (This is the saaaaaame intro for every Gratitude Journal entry. It’s here for the newbies to the journey.)

I try to start everyday with a Grateful heart. *duck face* Potna, I ain’t lying. You can check my IG accounts Queen/King. I get a lil raunchy on the Multiple_Sclerosis_Outlaw but I’m calmer, gentle with allthingsonelove. On both, I start my day sharing Gratitudes, stories of Gratitude and anything related to being Grateful. I’m dead ass serious about my Gratitudes because it keeps me present and accountable for my own energy. I recognize and appreciate the actions, words and energy of others intending me good. By starting my day with Gratitude, I have less MS pain, MS symptoms and MS depression because I’m actively pushing my thoughts towards a positive direction of Gratitude. My relationships with others are stronger because my Grateful ass notices what others do for me, to me, WITH me. *bows* I could go on and on and on and on about the benefits of being purposefully grateful buuuuuut… *whispers* Pssst, you know I wrote about it…
