Here’s something different and fun: make a list of things you’re grateful for, using a letter of the alphabet for each. (Who can’t use another good way to improve their outlook?!)
Here’s my list; please make your own list in the comments!

B – Benjamin (my eldest)
C – Coloring – soothing after a hectic day.
D – Divorce.
E – Elijah (the younger of my boys)
F – Furbabies, of which I have 3, at the moment.
G – God’s Grace!
H – Husband (he’s perfect for me!)
I – Ice cream – DUH.
J – Just chillin.
K – Kaleidoscopes
Learning about Love (it’s SO not what I thought it was)
M – Mom – She’s great. And beautiful.
N – New Comers to Recovery
O – Options (Recovering from addiction and mental illness has given me unlimited options.)
P – Puppy breath
Q – Quarterly bonuses

S – Sandy, white beaches
T – Tax returns, even when they’re about half of what we’re due.
U – Unusual places

So, what are you grateful for, my friend?
