This morning I am grateful that I used a short period of free time to get back into bed and relax instead of finding more chores to do. via /r/gratitude

I had about a half and hour between seeing my wife off to work and needing to get the last child up and ready for school. Usually, I find some household chore to do during this time, my mind always being set on the “one more thing to do” track. Today, however, I grabbed my coffee and hopped back into bed to just be warm and peruse Reddit for a bit. Two of the dogs joined me and one even pushed at the comforter until I lifted it for him to curl up under against my thigh.

It felt wonderful to just give myself some time, to encourage another redditor, be warm and to feel the love the dogs have for me. The only downside was having to get up and get back to the morning routine after a bit but giving myself time was a gift.
