Gratitude lists are the BEST! I make a new one each week and go back and read the old ones. I one I made right after DB was a life saver! But it's really neat to see them evolve.
It is really hard to focus on the positives and not on what is missing in your life during this. But, it's so important to focus on the positives. My best friend and I were getting pedicures on friday night. Her D almost died this time last year. We were talking and crying about that time, and we toasted that 2012 can suck it and 2013 we focus on all the positives in our lives, which are many!
I am so sorry about the money stuff.
