One step at a time. Alot to do, not even close to enough time to do it in.

I am grateful that we finally got moms flu shot. One less thing to worry about.

I am grateful that we went to the Arboretum and that the flowers were beautiful, and there was a nice breeze blowing.

A nice nap.

New television shows, including “The Biggest Loser”

Anticipated rain tonight.



Daily: Reflect on at least 5 things for which I'm grateful (Happiness Manifesto #2) (read all 110 entries…)

I haven’t been doing this for awhile because I got so down, that I couldn’t see the positive in even the smallest things. But I am trying the climb upward, and I can almost see daylight.

I am grateful that mom and I went out on the deck and had breakfast this morning. Its been awhile since I felt like doing this. Its extra effort, but it makes her happy.

I’m grateful that I got the grocery shopping done, and then was able to come home and take a nap. The house isn’t clean, but right now I just don’t care.

I am grateful that my cats surround me when I’m sad.

I’m grateful that mom and I have had a “spa day” and she is appreciative. We did her hair, her nails, etc.

I’m grateful for my cousins being in touch with me, since I have almost no family left. They live in other states, but they are the closest thing I have to brothers.

I’m grateful to my 43T friends for always reminding me to keep going.

Except that I feel very much like a victim. 2 months ago

Bad things keep happening. And I can’t stop them. And I keep praying that they will stop, and that I will have a good life again. But deep down, I know that I won’t. I’m not suicidal or anything like that. Its just that basically I feel like my life is over. I am just existing.
