Remember to be Grateful

As hard as my mind tries to make it, my life is truly good. What sucks, is that I don't have a job. There are so many things to appreciate though.

My family. I can read. That is pure enjoyment to me. I can do chores around the house, don't truly enjoy all of the work part, but I love having a clean house and it makes me feel like I'm contributing to a marriage by doing what I can right now. I'm letting some of my resentment go. I love that. I am able to pray again. I can think of nice things about myself again. All of this will help me and those around me because I am healthier now. I'm grateful for that insight.

When you say you are not working, is that by choice or not? If it because of the economy, that is really tough. If it's for medical reasons, could you do part time? Having to get up and out of the house is good, and a job (as long as it's a good situation) can take you out of yourself.
I admire your self-discipline in doing all that housework. My mother is also a fantastic housekeeper and I just look in awe at what she does. I am a huge procrastinator and works expands to fill the available time.
I worked full time my whole life until the last 4 years. Now I volunteer one morning a week. I love but am exhausted after. Still can't really understand why I can't cross that line and be like I was before.
The reading is great, isn't it, you can step into an alternate reality!
