I've been focusing A LOT of time of negative aspects of my life and I read something yesterday that made me think that I need to think about what I'm grateful for in my life at this moment.
I am so grateful for my friends. I don't have many friends but those who are close to me mean a lot. They are the ones that I've cried and cried and cried with these last few months. They are the ones who have calmed me down in moments of desperation and consoled me in utter sadness. They are the ones who listen to my stories over and over again. They are the ones who have heard me ask WHY WHY WHY over and over again. They are the ones that have seen my full days of not shedding any tears. They are the ones who see me relapse and tell me it will get better when I cry all day long. They are the ones who make me cry when they hug me or by the sound of their voice. They are the ones who I know I wouldn't be here without them. They are the ones that make me go out and make me conquer my fears. They are the ones who see me going down the wrong path and let me go because they know I have to and who are there to pick up the pieces when I fall apart. They are the ones who never say "I told you so". They are the ones that really believe that I will get over this when I don't believe it myself. They are the ones who love me unconditionally. They are the ones that I thank god everyday that I have. In particular, Andrew and Kas---I cannot write or say words to show how valuable you are to me. CLEARLY!!!
I am grateful for my family, Though we go through our moments---my family will always be there and I will always be there for them.
I am grateful for my puppy. She has been my constant since Nov 17 and having her in bed with me has saved me from many more sleepless nights.
I am grateful for my health. Regardless of everything, I am happy that I'm in good health as being sick would be a horrible thing. I've had my cast off my broken foot for about 4 weeks now and my foot is still not 100% and it does hurt but I suck it up because things could be worse.
I'm grateful for my job, its flexibility and income. This year has not been kind to me and my job as taken a real far back-burner position. Luckily, I can coast and hope that it will improve in time. As for the income, things are difficult because I'm alone but it could be harder and I'm not in more debt then I was. I'm actually in less debt but I'm watching more where my money goes.
I'm grateful for Bé. Very odd choice but at the end of it all--this will make me stronger and better. Though this is the hardest thing I've ever had to face, in which he has put in---the strength, trust and belief in myself and my stronger friendships that I have made will all be worth it.

I'm glad that my words in my blog were able to help and inspire you to see what you are grateful for. When in times of doubt and sorrow, always remember this prayer (my mother taught me it when I was a young boy).
The Serenity Prayer
God, grant me the serenity to accept the thing I cannot change, change the things I can....and the wisdom to know the difference.
There have been days that I would say it to myself several times....just remember...things do get better in time. "This shall pass". Just be true to yourself and press on.
