Today was a hard day. It was one of those days where I stay in my pajamas, lay in bed and cry. I don't know if others have those days, but I have them every now and then. At one point, Michael humbly told me that I need to stop focusing on the bad things in my life and start realizing how good I have it. One of his favorite things to tell me is "It could always be worse." I HATE when he tells me that. What he says is true, but that doesn't mean I am supposed to like hearing it :)
So, since I slept most the day, I was just now laying in bed unable to sleep. I decided to type a few things I am grateful for to help me open my eyes and get out of this slump.
1) I am grateful for the ability to cry. I know there are some who find it hard to cry....but not me. I can cry and I am grateful that I am able to have that emotional release.
2) I am grateful for honesty. It is a hard thing to find in people, but it is very refreshing when you know you can truly trust a person.
3) I am grateful for my husband and his ability to help me see the good in myself. He makes me feel important and I love him for it.
4) I am grateful for funny movies. Michael and I watched a very funny movie tonight and it really relaxed me.
5) Finally, I am grateful for my children. All three of them noticed how sad I was today and tried to cheer me up. They were surprisingly well behaved today and it made it much easier to feel blessed :)
