Gratitude
I’m sure I’ve done gratitude posts before. That’s okay. You can’t have too much gratitude.
This Christmas, I’m grateful for my health. It was a rough year but I made it to the end feeling better than I did at the beginning.
I’m still having some issues (not related to the cancer) but I’m grateful I have a job with good insurance and I’ll try and get these things sorted out after the holidays.
I’m SO so grateful that some new drugs have helped Caleb considerably this week. I’m grateful for my ex and his new family and that they have been so helpful in getting Caleb the help he needs.
I’m grateful that my daughter is able to come home for the holidays so we can spend some time together.
I’m grateful that I have a new place to live, that I love. I love the apartment, the town, everything about being here.
I’m so grateful that someone I thought I’d lost, is back in my life.
I’m grateful for the people who take the time in their busy lives to read my little blog and to comment and chat a bit. I’m so thankful for every one of you!

I’m linking up today with Thursday Fashion Files at Curly Crafty Mom. And also Catherine’s Saturday Share Link-up on Not Dressed as Lamb. Be sure to check out both their websites and the other linked-up ladies – maybe you’ll find a new favorite blogger or make a new friend!

I’m glad your 2017 is ending on a good note! We need more posts of gratitude, just to appreciate where we are at the moment in life. Hope your 2018 is everything you could hope for and more!

Thanks, Ashley! I forget a lot, to be grateful…but I’m trying to remember more. Wishing you the same for 2018. I have a good feeling about next year!

Lovely post – thanks for all the effort you put in sharing. I don’t always comment but I do always read – even if belatedly. I pray you have a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year.

Aww, thanks, Iris 🙂 I think unless you’ve done it (blogging/vlogging), you don’t realize how much time goes into it! So I really appreciated that comment. And I’m wishing the same for you for the holidays and new year xoxo.

Being grateful is the best thing we can be, Bettye!! And I always think it’s better for us to look at the positive instead of dwelling on the negative!!
Merry Christmas!!
XOXO

Oh, I look at the negative, too – I’m very well-rounded 🙂
Happy Holidays!
