Years ago, I kept a gratitude journal and everynight before
I went to bed, I wrote down the things that I was grateful
for on that day. It helped me live through some very hard
times.

Today, my life is easy and if you asked me what I am most
grateful for it would be a loving husband, family and friends.

I guess that I am a pantheist because my spiritual side has
always been fed by nature and it's many wonders. I can
look out across the yard and revel in the glory of yet
another spring.

I am grateful for having the liesure to enjoy my life and
no time constraints. There is no more rushing around trying in vain to be superwoman.

When life is very hard, gratitude for the good things helps
you get to a better place mentally. My daughter is an
example of getting lemons and making lemonaide. She is
grateful that she will always have her autistic son at home
and won't have to go through the empty nest syndrome. That
is an extreme example but I am so glad for her courage
and optimism. She is my hero.
