Well, I spoke to you all two days ago and in that time, a lot has happened. I counted my hours for my next paycheck and it’s going to be another low check, which sucks. My sister had to put her dog down on Monday and I was there for her. It was emotional for both of us. And I put my jerseys up for sale, which was hard for me. Life is crazy and I want to appreciate things more.
My boss
My boss is actually like a second mother to me. When I needed a ride to the ER a few weeks ago, she took me. That’s not where it ended. She stayed with me almost the entire time. I eventually sent her home because it was 3 in the morning and I knew it would still be a while. When I needed a ride to the city for an appointment, she took me with no hesitation. She worries about me and how I’m doing in my personal life. I don’t tell her enough how much I appreciate her.
I appreciate my mom
My mom is my hero in a lot of ways. She raised three kids on her own. By watching her I learned to be independent. I learned work ethic from her and the importance of doing your best, even if you don’t like your job. Even though she lives a few provinces away from me, she makes a point of staying in contact and helping me whenever she can. We have even done video calls where we bake together. Those are the best visits, though I’m more excited to go see her for a week this month and we can bake together in person.
My cats
After watching my sister go through a pet’s death it gave me a new appreciation and love for my cats. There are some days they are just annoying. I’m ashamed to admit that some days I have brief moments where I wonder what life would be like without them. Those moments don’t last very long, and after saying goodbye to my sister’s dog, I don’t want to think about life without them anymore. And let’s be real here, they have a lot more cute or funny moments than annoying.
I appreciate you
Last, but certainly not least, I appreciate every single one of you. I appreciate the ones who follow my blogs, and support me that way. Without you guys I would not be blogging. Can you believe it’s almost been a year already? I may not have made any money yet, but I’m so close, you guys. It really is exciting. So, now it’s your turn. What do you guys appreciate? Who do you appreciate? Let’s let people know how much they mean, especially as the Christmas season comes upon us. Last year I heard about so many suicides at this time of year. If you need to hear it, you are loved. I encourage you to let the people in your life know they are loved. You may just save a life. Anything can happen, if we try.
