I'm learning there is always something to be grateful for. I might not have everything I want but I have everything I need and more. Sometimes it take some herculean efforts to stop the pity party I'm doing it. Changing myself is really, really hard.

Yesterday I was stuck on the couch when D17 said she wanted me to teach her how to make homemade pizza's. A huge part of me wanted to say "not now" but I didn't. I said yes. Doing that motivated me to keep going. I sorted through boxes of financial records. I took everything and now it's down to one box. I no longer need/want the rest of it.
