I was feeling really grateful today and it was a nice change from feeling depressed and scared.

It’s nice to have some days where I feel okay inside.

I was thinking, I had a very bad childhood. And it was so hard and awful.

But every year since then has been better and better.

The more I block my family of origin out of my life, the better my life becomes.

And now I am looking forward to my husband retiring…I will be so happy to have him at home…and we are thinking of moving to Tucson which is an area I love for many reasons. Just a couple more years.

Feeling grateful and blessed today. Thinking about sitting on the back patio, watching hummingbirds eat at the feeder I will put up. Life doesn’t get much better than that, I think. Maybe hearing coyotes at night. Maybe swimming in the community pool.

I hope everyone here has something to look forward to, and small pleasures in every day life to enjoy now and in the future.

8. LiberalLoner, I'm so grateful you wrote this...

…when we are dark and down, we easily forget that it won’t always be that way. There have been, and there will be again, seconds/minutes/hours even days of joy. Our situation is temporary. Finding light takes work. The lighter days are our reminder that the work is worth the effort.
Thank you for the reminder.
