I may not be 'All That', but I'm always on my mind!
I should be gratefull everyday of my life for being alive after all the things I have been through. Yet still I let resentments creep up on me. Heres my current gratitude list.
Life Family A Higher Power good looks =) almost done with a college degree
Maybe gratitude is an attitude also, a decision to look at the good rather then all the bad.
Gratitude makes me grateful, I am grateful for what I have and for what I dont have I had to use that one the other day after surrendering to something I was powerless over and it helped.
If I didn't have gratitude today I would have given up on this whole thing a long time ago, thats my list.
