An attitude of gratitude... March
No matter what is happenning in our lives - good things or not so good things - there are always things for which we can show gratitude. It puts it all into perspective.

- home sweet home
- a good trip away - first for Alex's third birthday and then eight days with my sister Barbara after her back surgery
- willingness to try and eat healthfully and in a sane manner while I was gone - which I mostly did
- my own easy chair/lazy boy - love it
- friends, family, this cite, facebook, cell phones, internet

Seeing the sun and blue sky today for the first time in ages.
Realising a pair of my gym pants are definitely too big and I need new ones.
Getting through my step class and although it was with a different instructor and harder than usual, managing to keep going and enjoy it.
Getting through a difficult weekend of socialising and family visiting without going as off plan as I expected.
