Once a week I try to write down five things  I am thankful for, and post them here. Lately, I have not been as good about this as I should be. Because of all the things that have happened here lately, I guess I have not been paying attention to  the things I am grateful for.

1. I am thankful for feeling better emotionally.
2. I am thankful for the grocery shopping we did last night.
3. I am thankful for friends that make me laugh.
4. I am thankful for learning how to set up boundaries.
5. I am thankful for being here with mom. It is nice to know that if she needs me I am very close by. It is also nice to know that if I need her she is close by.
