If I just take a moment to look around, I have so much to be grateful for.
•I’ll get to spend tonight in my own bed.
•Nothing is ever as challenging as I think it will be.
•No one thinks about me (or the things I’ve done) nearly as much as I do.
•I can maintain a routine even when I travel.
•Karli is safe despite her love of answering doors for strangers.
•Norman and Barkley are safe despite my neighbors letting their feral dogs patrol the neighborhood unsupervised.
•This yogurt tastes like a donut.
•I laugh a lot these days.
•I don’t ever see it in the moment, but if I look back over the past few years, I can see that I’m consistently improving in most areas.
•A drink or a drug hasn’t sounded like a good idea in such a long time.
Thank you for being part of my story!
