The days when you are staring at your list and can't think of anything to write, your eyes wander to last week's lists and you remember the things that made your grateful and realize you are still grateful for them. <br />Hope your rough times are eased as days/weeks/months/years pass.Jessica Goodfellowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07561656986278259434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204727386532339291.post-75068588095566137972012-03-24T07:48:39.439+09:002012-03-24T07:48:39.439+09:00Thank you for sharing this, Jessica.

I've started following your example this morning (on the computer rather than in a notebook, as that's where I spend nearly all my time).

We are all muddling along against great odds; it's just that some of us know it.

As someone who is constantly reminded by my doctors that the statistics are against me, it is important for me to forget everything they tell me when I confront each day. I like Lucille Clifton line from her "eve" poem, "each day soemthing has tried to kill me and failed." <br />Thinking good thoughts for you.Jeanninehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16419593830749483323noreply@blogger.com
