    Today, I am grateful to learn the following on a different thread on MFP: fruit + veggie = freggie! Seems like a no brainer, but since we post from all over the world, my first thought was that it was a cultural thing, lol! Freggie! I like it!

    Freggie, that's new to me, and cute. Today I'm grateful that my outlook is still optimistic despite hearing that I didn't get the job I thought I was going to. Something even better waits!

    Today, I am grateful that my sciatica pain is soft tissue related, and not spinal.

    I'm sorry you didn't get the job. I've been there. So glad to hear of your optimism. :)

    Today I'm grateful that I got a part time job and that I got my classes sorted out for Nov-Feb teaching for the free school.

    yay for part time jobs :)

    Today, I am very grateful that nobody was shot at MSU today. My dear friend's daughter attends there, and had a very frightening experience, but it's over now, and the campus police handled the situation professionally. whew.

    Today I'm grateful for getting up to speed with new job (or beginning to) and also that no one was shot!

    I am grateful that I found this thread and am inspired. I am grateful that I feel good about a goal to lose a pound a week by feeding my body more nutritious foods and not by starving myself in between unhealthy foods.

    Today, I am grateful to be in a position to buy my adult son some groceries.
    I'm also grateful for my reliable vehicle.

    Ok, I already knew about the new part time job.... I had a "moment".

    I'm grateful this thread has a forgiving audience! :-)

    Thanks! But just quit. It was a contract job and clear I was too slow so was going to be worth about .50 an hour, plus they take a month to pay! So I am going to have to really think about how to make money, as a retiree and not drive myself crazy or wear myself out and still be able to take my son to work and school and back each day. Interesting times.

    Today I am grateful for having the courage to admit that something is not a fit for me without feeling (entirely) like a failure. Great feeling of relief when I quit, but need to scramble for what's next, quick. Grateful that the door closes and the window opens (I'm watching for it).

    Today I am grateful that I didn't give in to office drama, which in turn made me realize I must be doing something right.

    Accomplishments: I drank 8 cups of water, went back to the gym, and ate healthy!

    I'm glad you had the insight to cut bait instead of banging your head against a brick wall.

    I took a middle/high school teaching job once (music)..... lasted a month. I just wasn't cut out for it. I felt bad for quitting, but I landed on my feet and I'm sure whoever took my place was much better for those kids.

    Keep the faith and something right for you will come along :-)

    Today I'm thankful for having the determination to stick with a "half the calories" day today. I do much better when I do one of these a week.
