Haven't been feeling great so I decided from a friend here to start looking at all that I have not what I don't. I have a loving family. My parents care and would do anything for me. I have 4 furry babies that love me no matter my mood. They are great napping partners too. I have a beautiful house and all the necessities I need. I have friends close although they are busy they are here for me, and I can call on them at any time. 2 cute kiddo that light me up and frustrate me ( hey that is their job right?) I have all of you on here that I can tell even my most disturbing thoughts to and most of you understand. Well that helps a bit...I need to change my outlook on my life. I figure we all need to appreciate what we do have once and awhile. |

1. My two children, without whom I don't know if I'd still be here today. 2. My friends here on MDJ. You're the family I never had in real life. 3. The swimming pool. She's always there for me to keep me afloat. She helps me get the exercise I need, and my muscles are coming back...stupid shoulder doesn't like it, but tough shit.  4. My gran. While I don't enjoy EVERY minute, I enjoy enough of them that I want to take care of her for as long as I can. Patrick

When I am getting unhappy or in self pity I do a gratitude list. It has to be a page long and by the end of it I ALWAYS get a shift in my perspective and see the glass half full instead of half empty. I am grateful for sobriety, god, my kids, sanity, some self esteem, my home, my work, food on the table, I once was homeless, unemployable and no food for three years (well I must of ate something but cant remember what), I am grateful I live in Australia, my friends,I am grateful I have two arms that work, two legs that work, I can see and hear, am also grateful I am teachable, that has helped me immensely to meander thru this life.. |

I am thankful for my hubby who has been my supporter, my soft spot when the world gets hard, my best fan, he gently brings me back down to earth when I need it, but best of all he's been able to ride the storms of my disease and still love me. I'm greatful for my rat pack. I have 4 loveable squishy's who depend on me to supply everything for them. No matter how crummy I feel, I have to take care of them every day. The silly things they do can get a grin out of me even in my darkest moods. Ya gotta love the things that love back. 
Rats will be rats! |
