Today is a little bit quicker than yesterday. It’s been a busy Sunday filled with errands and sports practices and games for my boys. Now that it’s almost 8:00 at night, I don’t feel particularly compelled to sit and write for an hour—but I’m reminding myself that that’s okay. Even if it’s short, it still counts.
One thing I am proud of today: I started my morning with gratitude and made a conscious effort to carry that mindset with me throughout the day. So, without further ado, here are ten things I’m grateful for today:
- My husband
- My kids’ friends and their families
- Soccer
- Curbside grocery pickup
- Our family walk
- Seeing my students while out and about in the neighborhood
- A home-cooked meal
- A warm shower
- Good TV
- Community
And now, moving on to manifesting my future desires…
I am so happy and grateful now that I am a full-time writer.
I am so happy and grateful now that we live in our dream house on the lake.
I am so happy and grateful now that my husband has his dream career.
I am so happy and grateful now that we travel whenever and wherever we’d like.
I am so happy and grateful now that money is abundant. We have millions and millions of dollars in the bank. We can be, do, and have whatever we want.
Earlier today, while driving to my son’s soccer game, a song came on that sparked a quick visualization. As I listened, I closed my eyes and pictured our family out on the lake in our ski boat. I saw my son wakeboarding, the song blaring from the boat speakers as we all cheered him on. My husband was driving, hat backward, smiling. The other kids were chanting my son’s name to the rhythm of the music. The air smelled like sunscreen. It was such a joyful, vivid scene—and I can’t wait to watch it manifest for our family.
Last night and today, I read a little more from my book. It’s… meh. But I did take away one simple idea I really liked: Try to be a little bit better every day than you were the day before. That’s what I focused on today.
Spring break is officially over, and I head back to school tomorrow. My patience and sanity will be tested, I’m sure. But I’m determined to stay positive, to believe everything is unfolding exactly as it should. My manifestations are on their way. I will live in joy now. I will live in joy then. I can—and will—be happy with or without them. But I can’t wait to watch them come to life.
