It's been a rough few months for me lately. I know this last week has been especially a tough one emotionally with the events of the last week.
Scar's post of Life, Death, and Gratitude got me thinking real hard last night about what I want to see happen in my life. I don't want to be depressed. I want to be able to enjoy the things that I still can while I focus on getting myself closure to the recovery process both physically and emotionally. I've also been whining far too much to the people around me. There are people out there that have far less, and are much happier. And why not? They have figured out something that I have been blind to for many months. I still have the future, and it's what I make of it.
Yesterday, I decided to tell God it was all in his hands. I needed guidance and faith.
This morning I woke up feeling much better. The warm sun was cresting the trees and coming in through the window. The sky is a bright blue. It's perfect weather to open the windows and curtains and just enjoy the warmth.
Life is good.
Now, on the the part of this thread that I need everyone to help with:
Post three things that first come to your mind that are blessings in your life. Nothing posted in this thread can be negative. It all needs to be something that makes you a better you.
I'll start.
I woke up this morning.
I have family and friends that love me.
I have two wonderful dogs that would do anything to make me smile.
Next?

) which encourages people to verbalize positive affirmations in the mirror every day. That's a good idea, actually, so long as the statements you make to yourself are statements in which you believe. Saying, "I'm a millionaire," when you know you're barely covering your bills every month may not make you a millionaire. It's more likely to make you depressed.
No, what I'm saying is, associate with more positive people and associate with negative people not at all. Even family. Heck, especially family. You know the ones I'm talking about. The ones who NEVER have anything good to say. Be honest about it. Have a busy schedule and do what you can to minimize contact with negative people.
