Gratitude for what I have. Corny though it may sound, the following list is what I feel grateful for every night, regardless of what crap life has thrown at me today(and believe me I have NOT had an easy life!!) Here goes:
The ability to have been able to conceive and give birth to five children;
The knowledge that they are all decent people;
Reasonable health-mine and theirs;
A job I love (I'm a teacher)
A permanent place to live (I was virtually homeless at one point)
A warm bed (I hate being cold)
The ability to fall asleep when my head hits the pillow despite worries. (My Dad used to say this was a gift and I never understood it as a teenager but BOY do I often repeat his words these days!!)
Finally, having experienced and overcome horrible personal trauma a while back, the certainty that if I can beat that, I can beat anything.
I AM LUCKY!!!!

The tought of euthanasia being an option. Nearly went a few times. Have come to the conclusion i'm not meant to go. So for now I just grin and bear it.

i've thought about this quite a bit in the last few years...probably the only things keeping me here are my friends, i'd never want to hurt them. so i just put on a brave face and keep on walking.

My two children and the fact that some of my family members thought that I wouldn't do well because of that reason alone.

thinking about who I am now and letting myself feel that if I'm already proud of myself and things I've achieved at 24 then the future must be even more exciting
