Things I’m grateful for:

Love of my parents

Love from you both and your brothers

You are both safe (You aren’t in a war zone in another part of the world.)

Three jobs that I like/love to do on a daily basis

My connection with God that keeps me grounded.

The MANY families I am an important part of : work, temple, writer

My students: they teach me so much

My kitty: such unconditional love/ trust.

My new home: comfortable and safe

My health that is returning.

Warm dry clothes

Places to go (the gym) so I don’t miss you SOOOOOO much.

Money in the bank to pay all my bills AND have a “wee bit” of fun.

A TV in my bedroom and a BIG comfy bed.

Yummy food to eat that also helps me lose weight (I’m eating baked chicken, broccoli and rice as I type this.)

 

(You’re both pretty high on this list, if you didn’t notice).

Practice being thankful.  There are things I do not have.  But I focus on what I DO have.   It’s not that I don’t have wants.  I do.  But my focus is what I have.  I’m very lucky, actually. 🙂

Make a list of the things you are grateful for and keep it close by.
