Been very crabby today.  Hard to be grateful for anything when your mood is in the toilet.  Hurt my foot, tripped over the dog, bad headache, didn't get anything done on my to-do list.

But just helped Jess with something, got excited about a new little project, and turned things around!

ALWAYS something to be grateful for.........


I am grateful for the change of mood!!
I am grateful that I haven't had to cook dinner lately - hate to cook!

Read this today:


Stop waiting for Friday, for summer, for someone to fall in love with you, 
for life.
Happiness is achieved when you stop waiting for it and make the most of
the moment you are in now.

Should be my mantra!! 
I always feel like I am waiting until everything is done, in order, perfect.
Then I can do something for me, something I want.
But there is always something else that needs to be done.  If I put off
ME every time, there will be so much regret.

I am grateful for a quiet night by myself to catch up on some tv and relax.
I am grateful that the dogs are sleeping and don't want my attention.
I am grateful for a whole weekend to do whatever I want (even though I have to do laundry, grocery shopping, etc. I promise to take some time for me!) 

This is so perfect!! 

Happiness comes when we
stop complaining about the
troubles we have and offer
thanks for the troubles we
don't have

I am grateful for that reminder

I am grateful for a chance to go visit my family in St. Louis this week

I am grateful for MORE........or really the possibility of more:

more chances 
more choices
more love
more friends
more memories
more sunsets

you get the idea
