May 19th - Being grateful is a path to happiness

Today was a difficult day. My mentor had to travel to gather special ingridients and I was left alone in the store, it was a busy day with a lot to do, I had to stay late to send a few letters with instructions on how to use certain concoctions and remind a prince to not use his flamming sword to show off with his kights. I am so tired, even having fun seems like a responsability but I cannot ditch my party, we have been planning to explore a new claring in the woods for weeks now. They say the trees sing there when it rains. We will see, I should create a social battery spell next cuz mine deplets too fast. 

There were a few good things tho, when I am busy I usually forget to eat, but somehow food just comes, I am grateful of having people that care about me, they see me like this and they suddenly bring a snack or a full lunch, uncle Alfie gave me an arepa filled with chicken, it was good. I am always thinking of ways to repay them, giving back to the world what you receive is, after all, the other side of the threefold law. 

In moments like this I make use of my grateful jar, I haven´t add more entries into the jar but just having it reminds me of moments when I was able to still be grateful for the simple and beautiful things even in the chaos of life.
