![]() (My project that I spoke about is really, truly something I am super pumped about. I don’t always like to take the easy way though, so now I’m off to get my gratitude page for May started! I feel like it’s so easy every day to get frustrated and down as a natural reaction. I am thankful for the opportunity when I’m off work to work on it and slow my day down. I am thankful for my Grandma teaching me how to crochet. I have the vision and creativity to plan and execute this new idea I haven’t seen yet.My project I wanted to have completed by the time I arrive home is not on track.My work ethic is strong and I’m helping my work team, including some newer personnel, get settled in to their roles since I will be leaving soon.I don’t have time to work out like I want and I’m not getting enough sleep.I can gift things to others, and maybe make a few dollars back on some items! I have the money to buy things to entertain myself while I’m here. I have people that care about me and have sent amazing things.I have so much stuff in my room to pack to get ready to head home and I don’t know where to start!.I have a loving husband who cares about me.I couldn’t spend my one year anniversary with my husband.My supervisor provided much needed guidance to me and made sure I was handling things well, with genuine concern. It appears all the injuries will heal, thank goodness. It could have been much more, with all the personnel injured as well.We lost one US Soldier and two Afghan Soldiers on Monday and my heart aches for their loved ones.Here is my list of frustrations lately, followed by the gratitude I want to and feel I should express – I only filled out half the days in April I haven’t even set a page aside yet for May. I have been keeping a gratitude journal each day to help me remember to be thankful and optimistic. I’ve always felt like an optimist, but it’s been difficult lately. I can’t even comprehend this, yet the terrorists seem to think it’s fine. There were multiple attacks across the country, targeting civilians, journalists, US forces, Afghan forces, Georgian forces and children. I’ve dealt with other issues before and have had go-mode on for hours at a time. Monday was a day that will probably go on record as my longest and most stressful. No kidding – the Taliban actually announce this stuff. There have been lots of changes where I work and the fighting season has kicked off.
