Today I’m grateful for the cold without precipitation. As I walked around in the frigid temps today, my only saving thought was, “Thank goodness there is no precipitation, because that would mean snow”. While I love a great snowfall on a workday so that I can work from home, I am completely opposed to snowfall on days when I am off and scheduled to be productive.
So today I’ll take the freezing temps and no precipitation 🙂

This is priceless and today I am happy knowing that this is being circulated on the internet. The truth at its finest.
I would like to be less reactive. While googling an image for today’s post I came across many memes and quotes that suggested that the opposite of reactive is proactive…That is true in many cases except when dealing with relationships. I can not consistently anticipate the abnormal actions of others and thereby proactively have a plan as to how to deal with them.

I’m grateful for the privilege to work from home. As of right now, my supervisor is okay with me working from home on Fridays and one other day of the week, pending no crucial in-person meeting or client delivery. I’m personally grateful for this flexibility; not having to get dressed or commute in are such small blessings and adds several hours to my day.
At the grocery store.
Being in the grocery store the weekend before Thanksgiving is similar to being out on St. Patrick’s Day. It’s amateur hour.
What do I mean?
Today I reflect on the notion of making time. Many of us get swept up by the day-to-day and rarely find time to make time. The reality is, making time should be the norm not the exception. I consciously try to “make time” for all the things outside of my scheduled norm. Making the time to keep in touch with family and friends, making time to do those daunting chores and annoying work task. Making time seems to be the key to not feeling stressed or overwhelmed. Planning out when and how to tackle obligations actually makes me feel renewed and responsible.
Social Circles.
On any given weekend we have more plans that we can attend to. Our social circle is quite large and we are constantly figuring out logistics for social events. Today I am not only grateful for the friendships I have, but for the diverse circle of people I can talk to, learn from and share experiences with. Experiences like Korean BBQ in K-Town!
The first snow of the season in NYC. It’s always too soon, messy and accompanied by much sighing. I left work early to avoid the rush hour commute for fear of The train tracks freezing and signals losing power. However today as I trudged my way to the train I had a revelation….
As I try to build this blog, I’m forced to reconcile my need for perfection with that of execution. I have spent an endless amount of time creating the perfect layout, color scheme, font size, editorial calendar and even began a new Instagram to “advertise” this up and coming blog. I have put in work in all areas except writing and yet the very reason I am in this space is due to my love of writing.
