I like that you made a positives list and it is true we tend to look down a lot more than up! We have so much to be grateful for and there are always blessings for each chapter we enter in our lives. I am getting married next year and think to the next step after that very often of having children and starting our lives as parents. It is so exciting and wonderful to take part in this ride of life and you are so blessed to be a grandmother and married after all this time. Thank you for sharing and hope that I can remember to look up rather than down more often!Needles and Woolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02313901704976307733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812951198483259605.post-91699912843244117972019-07-28T12:25:01.592-04:002019-07-28T12:25:01.592-04:00There are certainly things there to be grateful fo...There are certainly things there to be grateful for. I also tend to think along the same lines.

It's affected my sleep. Never before trump would I have said that. You like some politicians and not others; but I've never felt the administration was acting in the best interest of another country. But, I do feel that now......strongly. But, I also look up. I can't say I've made a list, and I have had a bit too much of death and related things; but I am by nature an optimist. So looking up...sometimes it's the balance that's the tough part. Trying to be realistic without feeling hopeless.

I really need an attitude adjustment. My son tells me I need to turn off the news and stop worrying so much about what Trump is doing. Ha! I think it is important to know what that idiot is up to. But I need to think of some reasons to look up.

Mostly, I tend to recognize that I'm looking down and yoink myself up. Whatever works, right? I think it's an excellent idea to list one's 'ups' on a regular basis. I am a firm believer that there is always an upside to the downside.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573143203599624833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812951198483259605.post-61346735462943595862019-07-07T15:32:33.889-04:002019-07-07T15:32:33.889-04:00It is true we have so much to be thankful for if e...It is true we have so much to be thankful for if exam our lives carefully. Indeed you do have lots of things to look up and not down. I pray for good health all the time because that is the best treasure. I am hopeful and count on things getting better even politically.

I too am retired and a knitter (and sometimes crocheter). I am grateful to live in Canada, to have a close relationship with my children and my husband of 43 years. I too have good friends near and far. I too have my health really despite the pain of a rotator cuff injury. I have good food and beautiful surroundings of nature and birds. I am blessed. It sounds like you are too.
