Grati-Tuesday.

1. Public transportation. Relatively cheap, better for the environment than driving, and I can catch some extra zzzs on the morning train ride (sometimes. If people aren't noisy).

2. Learning that you have enough stuff. The more I focus on making the best use of the material goods I already own, the freer I am to spend my energy, time and money acquiring experiences, relationships and happiness instead of things.

Via.

That being said, I am also grateful for...

3. This maxi skirt. It's super comfortable, cool enough for the humid summer and work appropriate. Also I had a gift card to the Loft and so I got it for free! (Actually, I made money off of it because it cost less than the gift card balance and they gave me the difference in cash. I didn't know anyone still did that!)

4. Books. Hardback, paperback, electronic, audio, I love them all. If you give me a good book, I will devour it. It would probably behoove me to learn how to take my time and savor it so that they last longer but dagnabit, I have to know how it ends!

5. Maxwell House International Coffee. The coffee in the pot at work seems to be too acidic for my oh-so-delicate stomach, but I found the solution: powdered coffee. I don't know why I didn't think about it before, as my mother drinks it every day and has done so for as long as I can remember. I'm back to looking forward to getting to work in the morning so I can have my cup of coffee (which is good, since I need some reason to get out of bed in the morning).
