Good things about our lives

Kind of a continuum of the good news thread:

Lets list good things about our lives, so that even when feeling down we can look at this thread and be reminded that we really don't have it that bad:

You know it is good to do this every now and then because sometimes I just don't thank God enough for what I DO have, not what I DON'T have.

I have a strong faith
I have a loving family
I have family friends that have been there throughout my life
I have a cat who loves me very much
I have dogs who love me very much
I have a roof over my head
I have clothes on my back
I have food in my belly
I am a strong, independant, strong willed person
I know who I am and I am happy with that
I have lovely friends one TCS
I am healthy
I am blessed with a calling to nursing and it has enriched my life
I have more blessing then I can count

I have a precious boy named Sash who is such a happy, loving and vibrant kid. Not to mention, so incredibly beautiful! Who let's me hug and kiss him as much as I want! I'm so, so blessed to have him in my life.

I have a wonderful man in my life who means the world to me, he is truly my best friend too

I always have the love and support of my parents, whom I love very much

I have a very nice house to call my own and no longer have to live with other people.

I work with great people, especially my boss

I make very decent money and actually enjoy going to work each day

I have the pleasure to eat out whenever I feel like it and don't have to cook for anyone or do anyting I don't feel like doing most days.

I have so many interests to do in my spare time that bring me such joy

It's that time of year now that I absolutely love....

I thank god everyday for the good things I have in my life.

This reminds me of a gratitude journal. Evry day you write down 3 things you are grateful for. So, Instead of saying all the good things at once I'll only list a few so when I'm having a rough day I can come back and list more.

Today as I sit in a class a hate looking at TCS instead of working...
I'm glad that I can afford (though copious school laons) to go to college
I'm glad that I have a loving man and 2 cuddly cats to go home to and snuggle with after a long and cold day
I'm glad that I have TCS to go to when I don't wanna do my school work!
