I am grateful.

I am grateful that a very trying difficult and yet exciting year is coming to a close.

I am filled with hope that the new year is going to be better, and I am grateful for that hope.

I am grateful for the generosity and kindness that has been shown me by family and friends this holiday season.

I am grateful that I was there when my husband passed out and fell to the floor after a migraine.

I am grateful that I have a husband that understands me and holds me when I sob uncontrollably late at dark in the darkness for no real apparent reason.

I am grateful for the new beginnings and opportunities that hang in limbo as we transition from one year to the next.

I am grateful for this time, this transition time between years, this limbo and what it teaches me, how it pushes me to be patient, to try to trust and believe.

I am just grateful to be a live, to have the warmth of my husband next to me in bed at night.

I am grateful more and more for the small things.
