Maybe a little gratitude will help

I’m not going to lie.  I’ve been struggling – A LOT.  I’m tired, exhausted, and spent.  Some days, I think I’m just done.  I’m over it. Time to move on.  Only it’s not that easy, is it?

So this morning, as I was feeling all of this before ever even getting out of bed, I thought to myself, “Let’s not think about all this right now.  Let’s put it all aside and be grateful.”

So… I’m grateful for…

my family.  I love them all more than I could ever express.  They are why I live.  I know without a doubt they are my purpose in life.

my home.  It’s not perfect and it needs a good cleaning but it’s warm and shields me from the elements.  It holds wonderful memories.

hallmark movies.  They really can cheer me up and help me forget for just a little while all the ick.

the whatsapp.  So I can talk to DH when he is traveling far from home.  It makes him seem a little closer.

I’m sure there are million other things in life for which I am grateful but for today, this is a nice start.
