Gracie,
Thank you for your uplifting post. I have a hard time being thankful for all the good things in my life and too often I focus on the negative. Your post was a good reminder to me that even when everything seems dark and gray, there is always a little sunshine somewhere :)

> Was just sitting here sulking, wondering what the hell I'm going to do now. While my bipolar illness went untreated, I cut this huge destructive path through my life. I alienated my husband and most of my friends and family. I lost my job, I have no money, my husband wants me out of the house and out of his life. So I was feeling sorry for myself.

>
> * It's chilly outside, but I'm inside and warm.
> * My son is at work and not fighting in Iraq.
> * I'm not physically ill or handicapped.
> * I do have a decent car and job skills.
> * I'm not hungry.
> * I'm not pregnant.
> * I'm taking effective medication and feeling better all the time.
> * I'm not drinking.
> * I'm not hospitalized or jailed.
> * I have a good mind when it's working properly.
>
> So, it's not that bad.
