gratitude

I keep reading that one way to "up your happiness"
is to write about what we are grateful for.


So here goes:

I am grateful that I have a job working with animals, even if I don't particularly enjoy the store I work in anymore.

I am grateful that my boyfriend puts up with my moody shit.
I am grateful to know and have friends, though few and far between, that will also put up with my moody shit.
I am grateful to have the will power and motivation that has kept me going strong at the gym.
I am grateful to have a brain that lets me be aware of the things that are wrong in the world, even if that makes me sad, a lot of, no most of the time, without it, I could not begin to attempt to fix these things.
