Grateful

I usually come here to post drama that goes on in my life or asking for prayers. Today, I just wanted to be grateful. Grateful for being here today. I live in a nice home, food to eat, healthy kids, and most of all I am loved by many. I have alot to be grateful for in my life today. Sometimes I focus so much on the negative things that I forget to stop and acknowledge the good and positive things in my life. So as I talk with my HP today, I will ask for nothing and just be grateful.

P.S. Another thing to be grateful for is all the friends that Ive made here. You all are truely a gift.:day4

Gratitude is a great way to feel better just by taking our focus off the negative and seeing all the gifts in our lives.

I'm grateful too, Gwen, and I'm grateful you're grateful

Hugs

Sometimes it is hard to remember to be grateful. BUT... that being said, I am healthy, my children are healthy. I still have my wonderful Mom and Dad... and they love me as much as I love them. I see my brother every day... not that we always like each other...Ha!

I have a home. I have food to eat and I am warm. So, even though some days are very rough... yes, tomorrow you might well find me crying and looking for support... today I agree. I am grateful and will try to look at all that I am blessed with in my life.

Thanks Gwen - Gratitude really has helped me spin negatives to positives and to me perspective makes all the difference in the world. Hugs from someone else who loves you.

What a sweet post.

Thank you Gwen.

I hope you are over that stomach upset, and are finally feeling a little better.

Hope to talk to you this weekend.

If you don't know, you are always in my prayers sweetie.

Lots of love and bunches of hugs,
