day one

ok,
I am by heritage, profoundly Scotts. A dour, pessimistic people at best. Usually I can handle that with meds and wine.
But sometimes I get so overwhelmed and feeling so trapped that I just feel stuck, unhappy and I can't see my way out.
Have done therapy of various modalities off and on for years. some more effective than others. What seems to be most effective is just plain ol reframing.
So, here we go. EVERY day, i am to think of 5 things I am grateful for. now on a bad day, I may only be able to come up with the simplest of things, but still need to do it.
Don't need another journal collecting dust. so am gonna try this. not so sure i will like it,but will try.

Today, 5 things I am grateful for:

My home
my health
my dogs
my husband
that I have a job.

As you can see, not a great day, but hey, I am only starting,and am starting from the bottom of the well.
stay tuned. supposedly in a few weeks this will become habit and my mood and attitude will shift.
