Views from Raven's Nest: Daily (sort of) Reminder # 604

OK... I forgot to post yesterday. I got involved in something on Wednesday night and meant to lie and post early on Thursday and then I forgot. And I don't have anything to say this evening, really. I'm very cranky. I've been having a weird week. Besides the return of the big yucky sore on my leg, I've been having clutzy syndrome. Tuesday morning I accidentally tossed my tote everything around basket across the kitchen when I was trying to toss a nightgown onto the laundry pile. Then I spilled something else, though I don't remember what and had a series of mini catastrophes. Then last night, I knocked the garbage can over and spilled coffee grounds (the worst part) and other stuff all over the kitchen floor. This morning began with me knocking several things off the counter and then forgetting that I had opened the International Delight and shaking it rather vigorously. My dinner sucked. I treated myself to pre-cooked shrimp since it was on sale and I dished it all up and put some sauce on it and then when I started eating it, it didn't seem quite as cooked as it should have. It was probably fine but once you get that idea in your head.... Now I have to figure out if there's a way I can cook it more even with the stuff on it and whether I want to do that or whether I want to throw an exceptionally pricey meal into the garbage. And I'm cold. So that's all I have to offer tonight. Complaints.Whine, whine, whine. Anyway, I've had better weeks. I'm sure Neale Donald Walsh has something profound I could post but I feel really irritable and I don't WANT to be cheered up. And of course I feel guilty for forgetting to post. Broke my promise. Sigh. Tomorrow is another day. Thank you for everything. I have no complaints whatsoever (she said after listing a whole bunch of complaints. When I was looking for the link to Alan Cohen's article (Thank you, etc.), I discovered that Suite101.com has apparently dumped it's archives so all my old articles are gone. At least I'm condensing my things to whine about into a few days. Guess that's a good thing. On to gratitude. I do have that.

Some things I'm grateful for today: (Items in red are pre-gratitude, a training exercise of sorts, to open my heart and mind and spirit to the belief that I am worthy of abundance and an effort to encourage the Universe to encourage me by hearing my prayers and answering them.)
