And then I felt a little gratitude on April 9th of 2025…

First the Gratitude

Gratitude 2025 for April 9th
4/9/25- I am grateful for my new kitchen stool so I can do more without having to aggravate my back!

Then the Discussion

First, I am super frustrated by my spelling of “aggravate.” I woke up this morning feeling very groggy with a migraine. I was spell-checking myself, but it was hard to focus. Yet, I still managed to spell that word wrong on my gratitude for today.

Let’s just chalk that up to being human and move along.

Friday, I ordered a stool. I have a lot of trouble bending when doing chores. With all the osteoarthritis I deal with, I felt I needed an “aid.” I have a lot of days where I cannot do chores due to pain. Well, I was right!

Yesterday I pulled out my new stool and went to work. Did you know it is less tedious to load and unload a dishwasher when you don’t need to bend?

Using the stool, it was much easier to take care of dishes and cook dinner for my better half! I wasn’t in as much pain, and I accomplished more!

This is a beautiful example of using ingenuity to work around things that hinder my abilities.
