Sometimes it's best to take time & be grateful.

Wanted to share this with everyone. Living in this unsure world, with many serious problems some a lot bigger than ours, some a lot smaller than ours, I feel it's important for me to share what I do daily. You've heard it many times, but actually doing it daily, with commitment helps tremendously.

Look around, pick 2 things that are comforting & that you are grateful for.....

Your day may go much better. Do this small exercise every morning, & the warm secure feeling you will get, you surely deserve!

I choose not to let ptsd control me. I choose not to live in hell daily. No one wants that!

So, the word Grateful, keeps me grounded daily on the road to happiness.....whatever that is for each of us individually.

Be kind & laugh often.

Warm regards,

Sugar-pants

Thanks sugar-pants, this is important.

Sugar pants this post came at just the right moment for me, as I am getting ready to do a big scary piece of healing, and it inspired me to make list of things I'm grateful for right now. It's a pretty long list even if the things I MOST want can't be on it. This helped offset my grief at what I've lost. I am GRATEFUL for you posting this at this very moment when I needed help. Thank you!

Thank you for posting sugar-pants. Sometimes we all tend to forget to be grateful for the things that we do have, as opposed to the things that we don't.
