Being Grateful

Amy suggested that I put the word GRATEFUL around my house as a reminder to be grateful of all of the positives in my life. I went around with my yellow post-its and stuck them to the usual suspects: fridge, microwave, mirror, armoire. It really works. I see those post-its all over and I have to look at them. First of all because I am such a neat freak and I want to tear them off the surfaces. Secondly, they are bright and my eye is drawn to them several times a day. I actually think about how grateful I am at that moment for everything in my life that is going right. Today those notes annoyed me! Today, being grateful is a challenge. My hair is withering away and I cannot hide in my bed until its over. There is so little I can actually do. I still have to go to work and function like normal, feeling anything but. Yesterday I was positive and thought "When this is all over--I am going to feel like Wonder Woman--so healthy and strong from all of my treatment and self care." But I am still not Wonder Woman, not yet. Today I will try to be thankful for Obama's election and the sun shinning.
