Gratitude Project - 5th February

It started off as a good day and then I got a call that my Mum wasn't feeling well. Thankfully she works about a two minute walk from me, and there's a medical centre on site. It was just a dizzy spell (thank goodness!) but the doctor ordered tests just to make sure everything was ok. 

We spent three hours hanging out at the medical centre waiting for tests and sitting through tests. The whole time Mum kept checking in to make sure I didn't need to be back in the office. In the end I said, "Pretend like we had all won the lotto and work wasn't an issue. Would you want me here with you? Or would you want me to go away."

After a moments pause she quietly said, "Stay."

It was nice to be able to help my Mum for once - she's done it enough for me recently!! And she told me that having me there was a great anxiety relief for her.

I totally rocked at being a daughter today!

In other news, I told Mr. M about my current state of mind. He's going to help in whatever way he can. I'm so lucky to have him. 

So my gratitudes for today - they're all people

1. My Mum. Even though it was nothing serious, today was the first time I've ever really seen my Mum as mortal. I don't take her for granted, but you'd better believe I'm going to be making the most if all our moments together!!

2. My Husband. He listened, he acknowledged. He delved into the issue without just "pooh-poohing" my thoughts or feelings away. It felt good to tell him. 

3. My amazingly talented and delightful work bestie. She's an inspiration (she got me back into writing on here! I'll explain how in another post), she a hoot, she's supportive and she's my soul twin for sure :)

How was your Wednesday?

What are you grateful for today?
