It has been so incredibly hot this summer so far and I would be lying if I said that the heat wasn't getting to me because it has! But as I was thinking about how hot it is and the things that are bothering me like the heat and the bugs it occurred to me that I also have a lot of things to be grateful for! So I decided to make a gratitude list for myself!
Here are a list of things that I am grateful for:
- Even though it is so hot outside I am grateful for the fact that I have airconditioning! Not all of my air conditioners are working but I am grateful for the ones that are working. Because right now I am in one of the rooms where the air conditioner is working - so I am very grateful for that!
- I am grateful for the food that I have and I am very grateful that I have enough food to last me for a while so that I don't have to go food shopping in this heat!
- I am grateful for my home - even though I am still fighting a battle to keep it - I am still living in my home
- I am grateful to be able to work from home with the help of the Google Adsense program I am making money from home while working at my computer.
So as you can see I have a lot of things to be grateful for and I know that it is a good thing that I remember this!
There are lots of good articles online about having a gratitude list and you really should think about starting one - especially when you are feeling down or depressed because having a gratitude list is a good way to fight depression and believe me there have been a lot of times when I have felt this way!
So I continue to fight the good fight and hopefully I will be posting more often - just to let you know how I'm doing.
