I am grateful........

Life can be filled with struggle, heartache and challenge.
I try so very hard to thank God for what I have in my life instead of what I do not.
Keeping my "chin up" is itself challenging, but when I "get a grip" on reality......
I am truly appreciative of what I am blessed with in my life.
I have a roof over my head, I am not homeless....
I have a mattress to sleep on, I do not sleep on the sidewalk.....
I have nutritional food to eat, I am not hungry.......
I have medical care when needed, I am not suffering from illness........
My children are healthy, they do not suffer from cancer.......
I certainly know that I can be especially "negative" at times, something I struggle with every day, something I work on improving every day.
I have beautiful friends that I cherish and love.
I have three beautiful children, gifts from God.
There will always be someone suffering a deeper challenge than me.
My life is "good".
I am grateful.
I've designed these simple Tees with this important message in mind.
If you would like to wear one of these inspirational tees, I am offering them for sale
on my website.
Several colors available :-)

I know exactly what you mean. I find myself getting down and bitter some days. But the other day I woke up to the CA sun and saw your beautiful Audrey Hepburn pillows,took a good look at my closet, and realized I am happy jsut where I am. I saw the pictures in my room and remembered I am the luckiest person to have the most amazing friends. I drank my morning coffe and ate breakfast and was thankful I had food in my cupboards. I drove to work and recalled I was fortunate to have a job. These are the things I have worked hard for for so long. I know you have worked hard too my friend. We are so lucky to have each other. Stay sunny. Hope to see you soon! xoxoxooxo
