gratitude

I'm at that point where my body is telling me in no uncertain terms I've overdone it.  I hurt like heck, particularly in the pelvic region and lower back.  Light headed, dizzy, just feeling woogy.  Ready to go to sleep...
Here's the gratitude part.  Woke up all bright eyed and bushy tailed this morning, took a short walk.  Made myself breakfast. Been up and down the stairs several times.  dealt with 2 subcontractors who are working today and one neighbor selling health foods.  Staying on top of things at work (working from home).  Listening to the sound of a Hilti and its not driving me nuts..  so I've had a LOT of stimulation this morning. Mini crash is no surprise.
 
I am so grateful for every day I wake up not feeling crappy.  I am so grateful that I am mentally alert enough to deal with work and workmen. 
 
PS : I have been having this amazing creative streak.  Working on the design of creative ironwork.  Have had one piece built already and another is being worked on.  I have just been churning out drawings like crazy.  Don't know where its coming from but it is so welcome as this has been a particularly stressful week at work (nearly got fired .. but that is another entry).
 
Grateful to be alive physically, mentally and emotionally.
