Gratitude List

I think it’s the weather or politics but there’s that sense of impending doom. I just suffered through the anniversary of a failed marriage. I had a flashback to the wedding and the promises. I tend to nurse resentments and have trouble some days cleaning the slate and starting anew. With coming of winter I have fears.  So rather than selectively recalling the negatives of the past or worrying about the future which hasn’t come I attempt to stay in the day.  Be here now. Just for today.  Practicing the present. Knowing that an attitude of gratitude will attractive more positive than a negative attitude.

So now to get out of the slump of loss I need to remind myself of what I have this day.
