I have used this sort of thread before and find that it is important for us to find something that we are grateful for every day to stay positive. Especially when life gets really rough.

I hope this can help others. Smile

Blessings, strength and courage to all.

Today I am grateful for tea. I have coffee and no creamer (ewwww!) and tea is a nice runner up. Gotta have my hot liquid in the morning to get my butt moving.
Blessings, strength and courage to all.

Today I am grateful for the food pantry that gave us a one time emergency service even though we live in the wrong city. It was a godsend.
Blessings, strength and courage to all.
