Way too much coffee. But if it weren’t for the coffee, I’d have no identifiable personality whatsoever. ~David Letterman
Today’s gratitude will be short and sweet because it is my first day at my new job, so this morning, I am definitely grateful for coffee, and for a couple of reasons. For one, I am up hours before I normally wake up, and number two, it is because of others desire for coffee, I will have a job.
This morning I start my job with Starbucks, and honestly I am quite excited. At times I feel a bit silly about being so excited about a minimum wage job, but this job means so much more to me than just earning a paycheck. Today is the day that I overcome a lot of different personality traits that have been holding me back, for so long.
A combination of low self-esteem, and ego, has kept me from being able to grow as a person, for almost two years now. But coming to terms with the fact that I am not so special, I am not that wondrous snowflake my mama said I was, will enable me to push past self entitlement, and finally accept the abundance I deserve.
So far 2008 has been a wonderful year for me, and I expect much greater things to happen, and I am grateful for the support of family and friends who have undertaken this journey with me. The man I am today, is due in large part because they were the friends they were.
Today, I am grateful for coffee, because it provides for me a new job, and the ability to function, and do more before 9 a.m., than my poker playing pals will do all day.
