I’ll be the first one to admit that I really am struggling with gratitude at the moment, although I know that in these times of sadness I really need to pause and look around me and be aware of just how many things there are in my life that I need to be grateful for. Truth is, I know that I have a blessed life, and I really am grateful for so many things, only now my vision seems to be clouded with grief.
I decided to try to focus on the positive and recognize a few of the things I have to be grateful for today.
My Gratitude List for March 6, 2010.
Today I’m Grateful For:
- Having the opportunity to know Carol and have her as my best friend for many, many years. She was a ray of sunshine and her laughter and loving spirit was infectious.
- The friends and family who have rallied around me during this time of loss and have showed me their love and support and assured me that I am not alone.
- Marcel, for taking off from work, just so he could be here with me.
- JJ and Mister M. for making me smile through the tears.
- Having the strength to be able to find the words to share a little of Carol through my eyes. It should be read today at the funeral.
