Gratitude

I think I need to focus more on gratitude. Today has been a bit rough. The Bachelor provided a bit of relief, and television is finally getting back to normal after the writer's strike…but I still have been going back between crying and knowing that everything will be ok. So gratitude…

 

1. I have a wonderfully soft bed, that in a few minutes I will be sleeping in.
   
2. I have plenty of money in my account, and my bills have all been paid.
   
3. I am leaving for the retreat tomorrow, and I don't have to drive.
   
4. Criminal Minds was actually a new episode tonight.
   
5. I have acupuncture tomorrow.
   
6. I am meeting a new friend to talk about writing a book in a couple of weeks.
   
7. August only has to do physical therapy every other week. It's been a long journey, with all of his therapies and now it is coming to end.
   
8. My husband is a wonderful man, who bought me lots of magazines to do my collage with at the retreat.
   
9. I have the money for a lawyer, that is way better than needing a lawyer and having no way of getting one.
   
10. Henry is not in our home.
    
11. Our kids are safe.
    
12. I have new curtains, they are blue, my favorite color.
    
13. I talked to Melissa this morning, and we are driving together to the retreat. We are going to stop by the coach store, I will be looking but I think Melissa will be buying.
    

    
     

    
     

    It's hard to write this stuff right now. I'm going to work on it. I'll do it at the retreat. I'll take pictures of the labyrinth (#14). I'll be surrounded by my friends (#15). It's starting to get easier.
