Have a bad summer cold, sinuses are killing me, and woke up feeling grouchy and not very grateful. But then I started thinking about it and stopped feeling sorry for myself, I feel grateful for a wonderful husband who takes care of me when I'm sick (and when I'm well) and who will run out to the store in the middle of the night to get me medicine. I'm grateful for the beautiful weather and for having the day off to rest and read. And I'm grateful that I have a job that will allow me to take the day off tomorrow if I need to. And I'm grateful for my cat, who has been sticking to my side since I haven't been feeling well (as she always does when I'm sick). I'm pretty lucky. So cold or not, feeling bad or not, there is always at least one thing (or a few) to be grateful for.

grateful that I am up and doing my morning routine, grateful that I now HAVE a routine.
FFC, you are so lucky to have someone who will care for you when you are ill, but i hope you feel better soon, a summer cold is yucky.
grateful for my AC, rain so i can skip watering the garden and my ability to beat back my depression today....having the dog helps, i have to provide him with a good walk and i have to concentrate on putting one foot in front of the other, ultimately the exercise is very helpful for fighting depression...I refuse to go down the drug road again, the side effects were worse than the symptoms no matter what meds i tried (prozac, zoloft, welbutrin)....and the weight gain from the meds made me MORE depressed.
so I am grateful that I have the common sense to be proactive.

Grateful for making some progress in learning not to make such quick judgments of others, and in remembering that it's not all about me and what I think.
Seems like such a simple thing - who could argue with that? But so hard for me day to day, moment to moment.
