Grab paper and pen and list the things for which you are grateful. Take as long as you need. Let the goodness in your life settle into your thinking.

Be sure to spend some time considering your husband and how he adds good to your life. (I’m grateful for my husband’s sense of humor, his hugs, his honesty, his amazing rhubarb pies …)

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom. Marcel Proust
