The funny thing about gratitude...

Maybe if I focus on the things that I am grateful for, it will help me to not think about the things that I am not grateful for. I have told a thousand people to try this, so maybe I should take my own advice.

1) Very wise friends that teach me things I need to know.
2) Daughters that don't believe me, when I tell them I am OK.
3) Sons that help me through dark hours, when I tell them that I am not OK.
4) The beauty of the earth.
5) Sleepovers with grandchildren.
6) Words of love from my Laurels of yesteryear.
7) Big brothers.
8) Finding very special birthday cards.

That is the best I can do today. Maybe we can "talk" about the next date another day.
