Even tho I've been feeling pretty bad lately, I just had a good morning an I realize I have much to be thankful for.

I was at the school this morning to meet my kids counselor and go over some paper work. My kids have been doing great with the counselling and opening up to her. They are getting my two youngest into a week camp in the summer.. For FREE. I could never afford that. They will continue to pay for my daughters tutoring next year as well. I'm so happy about that. It's never been easy for me to accept help, but I can't give my kids as much as I want without extra help. They offered to help pay for my sons glasses too, he has extremely bad eyesight. His lenses alone are $600 and I am only covered for $100 that covers his frames almost. I declined because I have already found a way to cover it and don't want to take funds away from someone else who needs it. But the offer was so kind.

It's just really nice to know that people care and people are still willing to help others in their community. I really like this counselor too, she has talked to my kids about mental illness too, she knows I have bipolar and encourages my kids to talk about their take on things with that. I think that's really great, she's been very understanding and nonjudgemental.

So today I am just going to be grateful for everything my community has done to help support me and my children to help us have a better life. It's been a lot and it gives me hope, people still care about others.

One day I hope I will be able to help others as much. One thing I know is that my children see this and they already want to helps others as well. I feel bad because I can't give them alot all the time, but maybe they are learning an important part about life.

I hope everyone has a good day today. I'll be hoping at least one thing happens for each person that we can be thankful for no matter how small, it really helps.
