I was feeling really grateful today and it was a nice change from feeling depressed and scared.

It’s nice to have some days where I feel okay inside.

I was thinking, I had a very bad childhood. And it was so hard and awful.

But every year since then has been better and better.

The more I block my family of origin out of my life, the better my life becomes.

And now I am looking forward to my husband retiring…I will be so happy to have him at home…and we are thinking of moving to Tucson which is an area I love for many reasons. Just a couple more years.

Feeling grateful and blessed today. Thinking about sitting on the back patio, watching hummingbirds eat at the feeder I will put up. Life doesn’t get much better than that, I think. Maybe hearing coyotes at night. Maybe swimming in the community pool.

I hope everyone here has something to look forward to, and small pleasures in every day life to enjoy now and in the future.
