I just read a comment on a post at another website from a person who is combating her depression by writing in her journal each day about five things for which she is grateful. Here goes:
1) I'm grateful I don't have any of those rare diseases I read about in the paper today, which create life-threatening conditions and have no cure. My stupid feet are, in fact, healing.
2) I'm grateful I have a job to return to--a job that I like, and from which I get a great deal of satisfaction.
3) I'm grateful that it is Spring!! At last!! I love sunshine.
4) I'm grateful for dark chocolate covered almonds.
5) I'm grateful for KittyCat and her affection.
"Traditionally, literature makes much of the beauty of fleeting things and the delight of the bittersweet mixing of pain and pleasure. But no one ever said that heaven was seasonal or fleeting. Heaven is always portrayed as blissfully monotonous, one bright blue day after another forever and ever. Rather like California."
