Attitude of gratitude

I still am not chipper but I am realizing that so many have it so much worse. I need to change my self talk. It's becomming winter in NC and I don't tolerate that well. My husband works uptown and he pointed out all the people that are sleeping on the benches. I am sure that the wrong party (in my opinion) is going to take over the senate. At least I am in a Country where I am free to vote, where many people fought and died for my right to vote. No I can't send money to the humane society, but I have 2 cats that are fat and spoiled. Right now I don't have a bff but I am starting to have a lot of friends on this site. My sons are not in NC and I haven't seen them in a long time but they are healthy working and happy. I will not have a family xmas but my husband and I will have each other and a good dinner. I can walk and I will walk tomorrow to a restaraunt and have coffee and read my book because I can see and I had a good education. I know so many people that have to rely on the bus but I am fortunate enough to have a car. I'm done with feeling sorry for myself.

I'm 59 with severe COPD. I've decided I really want to live and I won't if I smoke. I have 4 grown boys, a grandson and granddaughter due on 9/10. Lots of reasons to live.
