Slice of Life - Grateful

I push the snooze button once... I think. Maybe four times. I'm not really sure.  When I finally get up it's 6:30.  I know I have enough time to get ready but not enough time to enjoy my morning.  I always regret that.  I love to wake up, make my coffee, maybe read a good blog post, or scroll through Facebook.  I don't have time for that today.  It's a get up, do my makeup, fix my hair, grab my coffee on the way out kind of day.  It is definitely a Monday.  I decide to call my mom on the way to work...that usually puts me in a good mood.  She always lets me grumble about how tired I am but helps me see the positive things that are happening around me.  This morning she wants us to each make a gratitude list. She does this sometimes and I usually protest at first but in the end it makes me feel good.  We take turns saying our three things.  I say I am grateful that I have a job to go to.  She says she is grateful that she got to enjoy a nice walk this morning.  Then, I say I am grateful that summer will be here soon. She says she is grateful that she got to see and spend time with me yesterday.  Both of us choose each other as our last gratitude.  I am grateful.
