Getting started - really this time

I created this forever ago in a quest to be a more positive person. Sort of a virtual gratitude journal. Never did post.....
But my goal now is to just do it! Every day I want to post at least 3 things I am grateful for. I feel like I spend too much time being cranky and complain-y and my life is pretty good.

To be sure I post today here's my 3. These are really things I am grateful for EVERYDAY.

1. My husband - we've been married almost 18 years now, together for 21. He totally gets me, he puts up with my "issues", and he is just plain fun to be with. I really believe he is my soulmate and we belong together.

2. My kids - they are awesome and amazing people. The are both truly good people in addition to being smart, fun , and great to be around(most days... nobody's perfect!)

3. My job - it's not perfect but for the most part I'm happy. I'm pretty good at it. It's challenging, it's never the same and I get to work with some great people.

There, it's started. Hope to be back tomorrow!
