Gratitude 1.

I am, of course, most grateful for my family. Marrying my husband is still the best decision I ever made; he is my best friend, and one of my main anchors in this crazy world as it spirals more and more out of control. Because of him I can live my dream job - being a Mom. I am continually impressed with the grown people my kids are becoming and I am beyond blessed for the good relationship I still have with each of them.

And no, I am not being Polyanna, quite the opposite; there is way too much to be concerned about in the world today, so I figure I should take the time to focus on some intentional gratitude, instead of losing my mind.

I want to push myself to focus on the other things in my life I appreciate, enjoy, am grateful for. So, going forward, my family is a given, and my focus will be elsewhere, unless a specific event inspires me on any given day.

So, now we will see how high a number I reach in my post titles.
