I AM GRATEFUL FOR ...

In the hopes of learning to see the bright side of things, I am starting a gratitude journal. 
It's pretty simple actually. 
Just a little way for me to count my blessings. 
The whole world is going through a difficult time. 
The virus has shaken the very foundations of society as we know it. 
Everyday I wake up and I feel like I am dreaming. 
More and more everyday, it feels like we are in a bad zombie movie. 
So the best way to stay sane is count my blessings, no matter how small. 
When your world is reduced to four walls and a roof, it's best to use the time to focus on the good things. 
I am grateful for my health. 
I am grateful that my body has resilience despite the years of abuse I put it through and still continue to put it through. 
I am grateful that despite the world falling to pieces, my family is sheltered and well-fed. 
I am grateful that despite my mother's suspect health, we have the means and opportunity to get her the treatment she needs. 
I am grateful that because of this lockdown I could take her to her appointment with any guilt or any distractions. 
I am grateful that because of this lockdown, the doctor was able to give her his full attention. 
I am grateful that because of this lockdown, we did not have to wait very long. 
I am grateful that because of this lockdown I am able to learn to manage my time.
