I've been doing this for a while... every night before I fall asleep, I think of 10 things that I'm grateful for or that went well that day. It makes me feel peaceful and happy. Here are my 10 things for today:

1. I found this website, and some wonderful people are helping me get through a difficult time.
2. I am sober.
3. I am rewatching the first season of "Big Love" to prepare for the upcoming season (in June).
4. My fiance is wonderful.
5. Yesterday was payday! I am not poor! (until I pay the bills)
6. I have no homework this weekend.
7. Tasty pizza and ice cream (diet starts tomorrow)
8. I got to see some old friends and their son (he's huge now!).
9. I have a warm, comfy bed to snuggle up in.
10. It was sunny and beautiful outside today.

What are your 10 things?
