Gratitude

How many of us have a gratitude journal?  I know I do not have one. I think i should start one for 2020. Today I give thanks for my life, family, friends and acquaintances. My husband is my rock, I don’t know how I would survive these last few months after my mom passing without him in my corner. His support is immeasurable. My children are my voice when I cannot seem to get the right words out. My eldest is my “straight shooter” no mincing of words around here.  She tells it like it is. My middle is my “calmer” she helps to mellow me out and my youngest is my “mixer” he has a balance of both. Don’t get me wrong, they all three have a bit of each other’s temperaments. 

I am thankful that I am the woman I am, smart intelligent, self confident, sometimes witty, etc, etc, etc…If one should meet me for the first time now, they would say I am always in a “funk”, believe me when I tell you that I am trying my hardest to get out of it, my last resort is to see a therapist, which I have been ignoring for some time, but it appears I cannot escape the inevitable.  It is something I must do for my health and the health of my family and all involved. 

I am in need of therapy for things that has happened in my life when I was a child all the way to my adult life.  I need therapy to grieve my family members death, especially my mom. In the past several years I have come to learn inside details of my moms’ life from her that I did not know before and it pains me to know that she went through so much and yet was one of the strongest women I know. 

I am thankful for the sacrifices that my mom made for me and my siblings, even when the odds were against her.

Be thankful for what you have and who you have in your life today, tomorrow is not promised to us.
