Grateful

Today I am down, really quite down. Its a combination of iron being low, and depression and a head cold. YUK....

When I feel like this I find that it helps to start listing things that went well today. When all else is going badly I can honestly say that I am grateful that the cat didn't vomit on the couch today...Now this is a great place to start because its always good... See i dont have a cat...and thinking this means that I have a good thing happen to me every day because I really HATE cleaning up cat perk from the couch.. I am glad that today again I dont have to clean up cat vomit....

Along this line of thought I decided to start this blog, to list the good things that happen to me now matter how small because focussing on good is a great way to not focus on the bad... and in life everyone has bad.
