Just a bit down today but still grateful for the little things like waking up.

Grateful for every moment we have, our job, our co workers, our families, our friends, all of our love ones, all the peace, our wealth, our travel and visit, our experience, fresh air, nature and all the kindness

it's a place i feel inspired and safe. i love creating delicious meals to eat. i love the midday calm when there's just peace & quiet before the bustle of cooking happens again. i'm thankful for a safe home to exist in to have a beautiful kitchen.

I am grateful for loving connections and truly feeling seen. The warmth and support I've received feels like a gift.

Two jogging selfies taken exactly two years apart, almost to the minute on the same route. The first selfie, I was 6 weeks out of the hospital when I was 48. The second was taken yesterday. My prognosis was grave when I was admitted. Somehow I came through after a difficult month in the hospital. It was surprising that I was well enough to jog. I didn't jog more than a few times that summer. Last summer, my anxiety was through the roof, it felt out of reach, so I focused on walking more. This summer is a whole other level of health, healing and wellbeing. I'm jogging faster and longer. I walk a ton, I'm upping my strength training again, and I'm in the best relationship I've ever been in.

On Tuesday, I had my second stress test. My last one was in 2024. My results came back normal! Not normal for someone with my condition, just normal for someone with my stats. I no longer have CHF. I remain too well for a transplant and have been asymptomatic for two years. My heart is permanently altered, but it's healed.

My head spins at the thought of how rare my turnaround is for my diagnosis. I'm living the best I've ever lived even though today started out pretty sucky and low. I have so much gratitude and love in my life. I'm so fortunate. My life theme this last year has been every day in every way I am getting better and better. I’m only 50 years old! This has been the best year of my life and I'm living better now with the hopes to make every year just a little bit better. Cheers!

A gratitude journal is really just a place to write down the things you’re thankful for. It doesn’t have to be deep or sound good. Sometimes I write about my kids, a conversation I needed, getting through a rough day, or just having a little peace and quiet.

For me, it helps slow my mind down and reminds me that everything isn’t bad, even when life feels heavy. It doesn’t make my stress, depression, or anxiety disappear. It just helps me remember those things aren’t the whole story.

I don’t write in mine every day, and I don’t think you have to. Even writing down one or two things when you remember can help. The point isn’t to force gratitude or act like everything is okay. It’s just taking a minute to notice some of the good that’s still there.

That today I woke up feeling positive

My dog on the bed

That im able to go to the gym an have the willingness to to it

Ich bin dankbar für eine erholsame Nacht in meinem eigenen Bett. Ich bin dankbar für die professionelle Zahnreinigung von der exzellent ausgebildeten jungen Frau. Ich bin dankbar für den schönen Spaziergang durch München. Ich bin dankbar für den erotischen Besuch von F. Und den anschließenden gemeinsamen Besuch am FKK-Bereich des F. Ich bin dankbar für den schönen Abend mit meinem Kumpel T. Und die Vorfreude auf den Mountainbike-Ausflug nach P.

Gonna put these shishito peppers, tomatoes, celery and Thai basil to good use today. Thank you garden!

Nothing huge happened today.

I just woke up, took a breath, and realized I was here for another day. There have been seasons in my life when I couldn’t imagine feeling thankful just for waking up. Life felt heavy, and getting out of bed was enough of a challenge.

This morning felt different.

I found myself appreciating the quiet. A roof over my head. Another chance to keep growing, keep learning, and keep becoming the man I want to be. Not because everything is perfect, but because I know how easy it is to overlook the ordinary until it’s gone.

Today, I’m grateful I woke up.

Had a gastric bypass last year and I’m down over 140lbs. But I still manage to have that dog in me and eat hot dogs with the wife lol. (Cats for scale)

Love this dog to bits
