Day 3

The only people with whom

you should try to get even are

those who have helped you.

I have been struggling the last couple of days. So I decided the other day to only allow myself to cry for 5 mins a day. Yesterday even though I was working I managed to use up all 5 minutes by 10am.

Today I am very thankful and happy to say it is the end of my day and I have yet to shed a tear. Today is a new day. A fresh start. How lucky I am to get to start over everyday.

Day 2

Silent gratitude isn't much use to anyone.

I have been sitting here for twenty minutes staring at this computer. I know I have so much in my life to be thankful for. I don't understand why I am struggling with this so much right now.

Rae had her 9th Birthday party last night. She had 5 girls sleep over. They had a great time, the girls were good. I am thankful for that, but with the risk of sounding negative I am most grateful that it's over. I stress every year about the girls party's. Rae is the youngest and that is the last party I have to have. Yes that means I am aging, but still I am so thankful that I never have to through another child's birthday party again.

Day 1

As each day comes to us refreshed and anew,

so does my gratitude renew itself daily.

The breaking of the sun over the horizon is my

grateful heart dawning upon a blessed world.

Today is the first day of the rest of my life. I decided to start fresh. I woke up the other day thinking OMG I am turning 37 this year. Today I am going to start this day by saying to myself "YAY I am only going to be 37 this year". I have so much of my life left. I can start fresh. I want to find the positive in everything I do. I no longer want to blog about the negative.

Today I start my Gratitude Journal.

On Wednesday on my way to work I stopped to get a coffee at Starbucks in Safefeway. While I was waiting for my coffee my very best friend came in. She greeted me with a huge warm inviting smile. I have isolated myself from all my friends and family including her. I have failed her in many ways as a friend, but despite all that she was just warm and loving as always. We chatted quickly and departed with a hug.

Today I am so grateful for the amazing friend I have in her. I am very fortunate for having her in my life, and to be surrounded by her love.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You..........
