I'm grateful for the opportunity to tutor young students in my community. I really do enjoy seeing the lightbulbs turn on. Had a good session tonight with that Ah-ha moment :)
Again, just so so greatful for my villiage of freinds - R and I came home today to a box on the porch. His co-worker purchased our crib and had it sent to our house ahead of the shower this weekend. I cried... not going to lie. Just so thankful for the love these people have for our little Fishy.
R. :) my rock. Who thinks it's silly I cry over a crib haha. I'm thankful that he keeps our home so well maintained.

I'm grateful that school is finally out. My commute to and from work is much less stressful.
I'm grateful that my SO gives good advice and helps me with family boundary issues. I feel safe knowing he always has my back.
I'm grateful that I have come so far in my RPW journey since starting it 2 years ago. My former self would be mildly disgusted (lol), but I feel enlightened and more...mature?

Bonus: Not married, but my favorite self care thing(s) to do when my SO isn't around is yoga, a hot bath with Epsom salt, bath bomb, meditation/spa music, or just sitting on the balcony with a cup of coffee watching the sunrise/sunset. I usually spend that time writing and reflecting on my life.

A lovely sunny weekend and very fun day at the park and boatride, and good relaxing time as a family
Hubs being just very much a good man. I was really touched by something Iris posted about her husband, and it made me think just how lucky I am as well.
Fitness improving, and gradually getting better at running, so I don't look quite so bad! I'm now faster than a 4yo ;p

Bonus: a bath with music on and super hot water, just relaxing to some fun poppy tunes and soaking!

I'm grateful for the beautiful weather we have been experiencing.
I'm grateful for my husband's level headedness and for how he pushes me to become a better person while loving me as I am too.
I am grateful for having a bit of spending money this month!

Bonus: In any solo free time I have I usually spend time tending the garden during the warm months and read in a bubble bath during the cold months. I also use my gel nail kit once or twice a month.

These happen on Wednesdays for me, so a lot of the things are the same from last time haha:

Thankful for my dad, who comes up to visit on Tuesdays & helps around the house with things that are beyond our skill to fix, or that we don't have time for. Today, he painted my laundry, which had turquoise cabinetry & skirting boards: who ever thought THAT was a good idea!?! (not me, to be clear, it was there when we bought the house). It's now a whole lot lighter and brighter & I'm very happy!
Thankful for my husband's dedication in puppy-raising. We've been treating it as a bit of a trial-run to parenting, and, while it's been hard work (late nights, crying puppy, etc), it's also been amazing to see how level-headed, detached, but also loving he is towards the puppy. He is super positive about the whole thing & it's great.
Grateful for my work situation, which is stressful but usually manageable, and new clients that are popping up just when I was worrying about an empty schedule after next quarter.

Self-care when hubby is out: lighting a candle, doing a manicure, listening to music & doing some journalling.

I am so grateful for my husband's cool-headed response to crises big and small. I had a horrible bout of seasonal allergies this past weekend and his steadfast shepherding got me through a very rough 24 hours.
I'm grateful for the finally warm weather we've been having! I have missed the sun like you would not believe.
I'm grateful for running water in my apartment. This seems silly but we got it turned off for the day while a new water main was installed, and I realized how inconvenient life is without running fresh water. I'm fortunate to live a life where this has always been a given!

Bonus: My favorite self care thing to do when I'm alone is blast fantasy audiobooks from my laptop and take my sweet time doing chores, exercising and just sitting around. I'm doing that right now actually haha. Life is good. :)

Here we are! :)

I'm grateful for the time I'm getting to spend with my older family members, especially my grandparents who are so wise and supportive, I'm so happy they are proud and excited for me. This also goes for my father, who has always been a great protector and patriarch.
I'm so thankful for the routine of my life. It is a great balance, I get to spend time with study, with family and domestic work while occasionally with friends and with my SO regularly.
I'm thankful for my SO's continuing support, he has been patient with me and the stresses I have faced lately, I'm also happy he opens up to me, as I want to be his refuge.

Bonus: He is my SO at the moment though I sit there and play computer games with snacks. Usually with my sibling, it's just amazing.

I'm a day late, but:

grateful that Occam can lift heavy things so I don't have to.
we went to bed at 1AM on Monday morning...but didn't really get around to the 'sleeping' part. We took turns saying "okay, time for bed", managed to be quiet for 2 minutes, only to start talking again. We were both dragging on Monday, but it was worth it.
When I'm dragging and really tired - Occam tells me to go to bed and tucks me in.
That Occam makes me try new foods. Although I treat new dishes with suspicion, I always end up loving them. My favorite dishes are now all things he has made me eat.

I'm grateful for it being Friday. Almost weekend. I need some time to relax and take my mind off of work
I'm grateful and super proud that my SO has decided to change his diet to a plant-based one! Never pushed him to do so
I'm grateful that my diet is going so well. I still have plenty of energy and am very confident in my body

Bonus: going for long walks, heading to the library to randomly pick out books, going out for coffee with said books, relax with some YT videos, look up new recipes, focus on volunteering ... All of these things don't seem very self-carey per se but for me, that's self-care right there
