Count your blessings. Make a
list of ten blessings. Write why
you’re grateful. Reread your list, and at the end of each blessing say thank you, thank you, thank you, and
feel as grateful for that blessing as you can.
I am truly blessed to have M
just call me and be so loving,
because it really boosted me.
Thank you thank you thank you!
I am so happy and grateful for
doing what was right for MA last night,
because it is what loving
friends do.
Thank you thank you thank you!
I am truly grateful for the
beautiful things she said about how she feels about me too,
because it is beautiful to
hear such things.
Thank you thank you thank you!
With all my heart, thank you
for plans for summer,
because I want to avoid
depression, AND make my life better in the longrun, AND have fun in the moment!
Thank you thank you thank you!
I am truly blessed to have my
piano,
because I can really lose
myself in it, and enjoy it! (Just did in fact)
Thank you thank you thank you!
I am so happy and grateful for
this freedom. This freedom of this day.
Because I can do anything. I
can go out, stay in, clean, chill, play piano, do French, go to a movie, give
birdies quality time, take a walk, read, do laundry, clean, straighten, go to
city to a museum, heck I could get on a plane if I felt like, or a train, visit
with doggie, go to bookstore, go to library, take a ride, window shop at mall or
outdoor mall, go to beach, visit mother, see St if she’s available, or MA, anything
I want.
Thank you thank you thank you!
I am truly grateful for being
able to laugh, and being able to share love,
because THOSE are LIFE!
Thank you thank you thank you!
With all my heart, thank you
for NOT being in a state of dread,
because, rather, I am in a
state of acceptance that we can’t always know what’s next and excitement over
what it might be, and happiness in the day!
Thank you thank you thank you!
I am so incredibly fortunate
and lucky and grateful for living where I do,
because I am not in a war, and
I have a job and a home, and I am free to do what I want.
Oh my, thank you thank you
thank you!
I am so incredibly fortunate
and lucky and grateful for my breath and my health,
because despite all the time I’ve
given to sadness and depression and grieving after J, I am here, I am well, and
I have a future to look forward to! AND – a ~present~ to ~live~!
Thank you thank you thank
you!!!
I am so grateful that I didn’t
kill myself, there are no words of thanks big enough. And for every person who
has been here for me:
EJ,
Birdie,
JJ,
M
St
MA
L
Dr
Mother
Even J
Thank you thank you thank you!
Thank you thank you thank
you!!!
2. Remember The magic by counting
the blessings of yesterday and writing them down. Ask yourself the question: What are the good things that happened
yesterday? Scan the surface of yesterday until you feel satisfied that
you’ve remembered and written down all the blessings of the day.
1.
I woke up and was
in a fine mood. A good mood.
2.
Showered and
looked cute and actually got to work feeling so good about the last day.
3.
Was good to the
kids. Very. Honest and positive both. And thankful. And they knew it.
4.
Aide said
beautiful things to me.
5.
And I to her.
6.
I got out earlier
than almost ever. Or maybe ever.
7.
I paid my overdue
water bill!
8.
I paid my overdue
tickets!
9.
I paid my property
taxes – first time ever (cause no more mortgage). My little house is worth less
than ever, but it is mine, it is paid and my taxes are paid. Yay! I worked HARD
for this! I DID it! Yay!
10.
Felt happy on way
home.
11.
Had called MA to
offer something else good for her
12.
She said preferred
me go to her new senior living place for dinner. Help her feel comfortable.
13.
I didn’t want to but
of course I did.
14.
And she met me to
show me how to get there.
15.
It was easy
enough.
16.
And the place was
far more beautiful than online.
17.
And her apartment
is gorgeous. I’m so glad.
18.
The food was good.
19.
3 restaurants to
choose from.
20.
She will be happy
there, I think.
21.
Got a bit lost on
way home but it wasn’t dark and I found my way. Took about 3 x as long as
should, but I made it just fine!
22.
And had nice chats
with A afterward.
23.
Magic Rock
practice
24.
Tv
25.
Sleep. Funky
dreams but sleep
26.
Yet further
reinvigorated to keep my health at top can! For life!
