It never stops amazing me how well journaling on these forums works. There is something nice knowing that what I write will not fall on deaf or non-sympathetic ears and that it will most likely be read. I am glad you are finding it easier to notice the small things and it sounds like you are really seeing what is most important in your life right now.
Keep it up. I heard this from a song many years ago and it always kind of stuck with me but the race is long and, in the end, its only with yourself.

It ain't about how hard you're hit, it is about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.
