So I'm working a full time job with benefits for the first time since I was married. I kinda forgot about the perks of working full time - like a paycheck, medical benefits, vacation time - you know the little things. *grin* I really don't care too much about those sorts of things and so because of that I kind of forget about them most of the time.

I feel so grateful that next year I can take a mental health day here and there, there's a few "spiritual health" days I plan on taking as well. And I can get paid for them. Super cool! When my brother marries his love in August I can take the time I need and be paid for it! Grateful indeed.
