I don't always remember how constructive making a gratitude list is. The exercise is worthy though. It can get me unstuck. I realize I don't always get what I want when I want it. This year I am sad to be separate from my loved ones. But I am getting stronger and healthier every day. My feet are healing. I am beginning to see how I have been spared once again from a life direction that I would not have been able to abide. For those of you who know me well, you know I can't stand being in the company of thieves. Had I stayed where I was, I would have been consumed and confined with thieves. My higher power has once again spared me from that kind of life. I didn't see it when I first started moving out this summer. There are things I didn't see for the whole 6 years I spent on Deming Avenue. But I am finding out things now that make it clear that hoarding was the very tip of the iceberg. I am grateful that I have enough stuff that I don't have to steal in order to get more. I am grateful that the "stuff" I am made of isn't material.
