Cheer Up Technique #2: Count Your Blessings

I've read countless times that expressing gratitude for what is good in your life can lighten your mood.
I am going to try this technique right now.

I am grateful....

- for my health
- for the sun that shines in the windows of my safe home
- for my new job a short walk away
- for my old friends who taught me how to be a friend, and for the new friends too
- that there are so many good books to read
- for forgiveness
- to have a vacation to look forward to
- for all the love in my heart and to have a brave man to share it with
- that it is only 2 days until the weekend
- for all of the opportunities and suprizes that still lay ahead
- for coffee in the mornings
- for seals because they are my favorites
- and for camilla trees, because they are my favorite too
- oh, yes. and the moon and the stars and a thick mossy forest
- for my family entirely
- to live in a city full of sparkling water and glass
- to have all of the freedom that life in Canada offers
- to have so much to be grateful for

Ok, I can confirm that I am feeling better!
