I've been thinking about the IC's situation and realizing how sometimes it takes a crisis to help us focus on what's GOOD in our lives, especially when we're in the habit of focusing on what we'd like to be changed.
NOTE: This is not to say that the bad stuff should just be overlooked, blown off, ignored, etc. But sometimes it's nice to look among the things that are pi$$ing us off and find something to be glad about.
I invite anyone who feels like it to post:
1) something that you're grateful for or thankful about
2) REGARDING YOUR RELATIONSHIP OR YOUR PARTNER (not that your team won, or that you got a good deal on a new car)
3) IN THE LAST 48 HOURS (not something they used to do, or did when you were first married-- but something in the present)
Those are the only conditions... Let's see what this feels like... keep it simple...
I'll start: I'm grateful that my bf loves my cats so much. He nagged me (very nicely and non-judgmentally) over a period of months to take one of them in to the vet and the problem was fixable with surgery (yesterday). Looking forward to seeing this sweet animal in good health again.
