Tidy Mind

Today was slow and quiet but nonetheless productive. I got through a big stack of paper and bits I'd be meaning to sort out, and did a lot of cleaning, which makes me feel a lot more organised and at peace!

Since I'd gone shopping yesterday I made myself some nice food. I had some hot chocolate and read a good book listening to it rain. In the evening I went I work at the pub which was busy but good fun.

Things I am grateful for today
- my friend for coming and getting not one, but TWO big spiders from my bathroom
- having gotten a job where I can walk home through a safe place. It would be much tricker if I could only find a job far away!
- my nana and auntie Clare for always being so kind and interested in what I'm doing. The congratulations card on this photo was from my nana after I'd gotten a first! She painted the card and did calligraphy by hand and it's beautiful! I'd love to learn how to make cards one day.
- following on, the Pandora leaflet is from a ring bought for me by my parents as a congratulations gift. I'm very grateful for their thoughtfulness! Receiving gifts and cards makes me feel happy that I've made my family proud.
- on this photo are receipts from RIAT: I'm so grateful I got to go for free and have my expenses covered! I hope I did a good job representing gliding and am going to look out for more ways to help in the future
- nice people at work
- I've mentioned this before, but the opportunity to be forgiven and move on from mistakes even when I feel I don't deserve it
