What a lovely post, Jean. I have just read it to my hubby, as he belongs to the half empty glass brigade, who finds it hard to see all the good things around him. You are so right, that it is so important to stress the positive in ay for you.your life.
I have found my life rather tough the last 3 years. I lost my brother within 3 months from cancer, my husband has had 2 operations, also wih cancer and 3monhs ago my mother died. As I was the only sibling, a lot was on my shoulders, making a funeral and clearing up my mum`s flat.
Despite everything that has happened, I have a lot of good things. My husband and I are still together after 40 years. I have two lovely sons, who care a lot, 3 grandchildren, the youngest only 15 months old, an absolutely joy. I love my garden, although I can`t do much anymore, but I have got a gardener, who comes every other week, and does the hard work. I used to love walking but can`t do much now, but we have our car, so we can go out nd enjoy a meal alone or with friends. I often say to my husband "nobody owes us a living!" If we are feeling miserable, do something about it, don`t expect others to cheer up you day.
I wish you all a lovely week-end without pain
Merete
