I am grateful for a therapy appointment this afternoon. Mental collaboration just helps!

Gratitude Jar 2025 for May 14th

And here I am. Relatively accomplished for the day. Moments away from running off to see my therapist.

I am pleasantly exhausted.

You know, the kind where you are tired because you know you worked hard up to that point. You’ve achieved important milestones for the day, and keep progressing.

That. I am exhausted in that manner.

I worked on my book and just realized that the clock is ticking. I wanted to post this before I run off for my appointment and run an errand afterward.

Shoot, today isn’t a school day. Yet, I started my day by pumping out my reading and doing multiple knowledge checks.

I’m feeling quite unbeatable. Therapy is just icing on the cake.


Over the previous weeks, I have messaged that poor woman a million times. I was having a tough time. My emotional state felt shaken despite all efforts to keep it out of my business.

I need the time to be heard. We moved to monthly appointments because I am in maintenance mode rather than crisis. What I am having to do is learn to trust my problem-solving and skilled knowledge to move myself forward.

Like anyone learning to walk without help, it is taking a lot of questions and practice. I’ve always been an anxious learner. I am slow to recognize my own capabilities. Others always notice before me.


So, yes. I am grateful to see her today. I am propelling myself onward and upward…

… in business and life.
