Every night, since the end of last April, before I go to sleep I make it a point to remember something good about my life from that day, and to think something I look forward to upon waking up.
I'm thankful.
I've been thinking about this lately - the good things. When work or life gets crazy, I also think about what I could be faced with, which makes me even more grateful.
I am not:
-facing another night of cold and hunger, not knowing when my next meal or warm bed will be
-working in an oven-hot, windowless factory, bent over machinery, my fingers and back cramped while I make toys that sell for $15.00, and my hourly wage is $.15
-a woman on her first, second or third marriage who's husband is unfaithful which makes her take it out on her kids
-battling a life-threatening illness
-alone
I am:
-thankful to have a warm place to call my home
-blessed to have a wonderful boss, a rewarding job and the opportunity to work towards better health for hundreds of thousands of people
-overjoyed to have real love in my life
-amazed and grateful to be as healthy as I am and dont' take it for granted any longer
-lucky to have the most wonderful dog on the planet as my best buddy
And, much like this next clip....
I'm also just a girl......
standing in front of a boy....
asking him to love her. ;-)
Bwahahahaa.....such a crappy movie I couldn't resist. The post was getting way to serious.
