Grateful
Something I try to be every day. No matter how tough my life gets, I realize it can always be worse, and I'm grateful that I am where I am, I've got what I've got, and I'm alive. After all, I could be living in a bombed-out city with no ready access to food and fresh water. I could be in a country that is so politically or religiously repressive that my teeth would hurt. I could be a widow. I could be a single mom without a decent job or healthcare for my kids. I could be unemployed.
What I am: healthy, optimistic, fairly financially stable, skilled, educated, loved, respected, attractive enough to meet new and interesting people every day, literate, open to new experiences. This is plenty to be grateful for, and I'll continue to try to remember this every day.
