My Grateful Bantering

Maybe I can try this out.


HMMM things i'm grateful for.  Well i'll start with the things that come to mind first lol.  Well my computer is something i'm proud of, I'm typing on it right now.  I'm grateful for it because I purchased each part for it and built it myself, I really love the effort I put into it and gives me this sense of accomplishment, sounds a bit silly but the time it took me to build it by myself was just an enjoyable time.  


I know I was frustrated, angry, confused, and a bit sad at times lol but I was problem solving as I go.  When something didn't feel right or something wasn't working as it should I didn't give up because it was going to be something of my own.  I stayed up till like 4 A.M. that first night lol, I think I started building it around 11 AM lol.  When I started connecting everything I was just taking my time, making sure everything was connected right.  I paid so much attention to detail, and even then I had to back track a few times.  


The moment of truth finally came the day after, I set everything up, connected it to the moniter and I pushed the button to turn it on.  The case and motherboard, the liquid cooler, fans, everything lit up and I was soooooo happy....and then quickly sad when the monitor wasn't showing any video.  Just a black, endless void screen lol.  Confused and frustrated, I went to the google machine to try to understand why.  So I start disassembling everything lol, first just minor things and when it still didn't work I went further and further, closely considering to disassembling it from the very beginning and starting over lol.  Luckily it didn't come to that.  I went to go get some wings from wingstop cause I was getting hungry ate and figured out the simple problem......I plugged in the HDMI cord to the wrong slot SMH lol I laughed at myself.  Of course me thinking way too much about it didn't even bother checking the simplest things lol.


Well this was just pure nonsense lol but it helped me smile while writing this.  I started thinking i'll start making a whole list but maybe this is ok just starting with one thing and maybe I can find another thing tomorrow.  


Hmm maybe I should try to sleep, Friday tomorrow, and for once check isn't gone so I might get something to eat lol.

Gratitude feels good..... Kudos to you for building your own computer.... I barely know how to use mine.... That is a wonderful accomplishment!!!

Gratitude is probably my greatest tool..... When I feel grateful things never seem as bad

If I'm in a bad place mentally I think of 5 things to be grateful for everyday and it really does become second nature after a while

So it might just be something like

1. a hot cup of coffee in the morning
2. my great DS family
3. cuddling with my pooch on the sofa
4. the sun shining overhead
5. a nice warm bed to sleep in

There is always so much to be grateful for and it helps to lift our spirits when we're cognisant of it...… Big hug.....xo
