My mom told me there are many people who would trade places with me, and she's right. So today I began practicing gratitude rather than being frustrated or sad about my life, I'm appreciating the good things in my life.

I have a comfortable and warm bed to sleep in. My car is in good shape and runs, and i have no car payment. I have a supportive family. I have good insurance. I have hair. I have a home that's nice and affordable. I found lots of things to be grateful for. I'm going to do it daily each morning. There was lots more but that's a gist. I recommend it. Made me feel better.
