December 8, 2025

Today is Day 8 of the December Gratitude Challenge.

It was a day of recovery for me - I woke up feeling under the weather but slept in, and I feel like I slept off my yukky feelings. I still feel wiped out, though. Hopefully an early bedtime will kick the rest of it.

I feel grateful today for the ability to let myself recharge. It is not a natural skill to me - I’ve had to learn to slow down after a lifetime of feeling guilty if I slow down. I was productive today, but allowed my brain to do a leisure pace, letting my body’s needs dictate how the day was to go.

Hopefully with a good night’s sleep, I’ll feel much better tomorrow.

I have decided to do a 31 consecutive days of The December Gratitude Challenge in December. Keep your fingers crossed!:) #TheDecemberGratitudeChallenge
