   I am really not happy today, too much going on but I am smiling through it and still thankful for a lot of stuff so here goes,
    I am thankful I made it safely to drop off my kiddos and get back across the city to work in the icy snow storm we woke up to.  I am thankful I have a job to risk my life getting to and that it at least pays most of the bills. I am thankful that I have food to feed my kids this week and a warm place for them to lay their heads at night.
    I am thankful for the ability to read and write and smile through the tears. I am thankful as always for my family and the friends who I bore to death with the constant venting about the unfairness of the everyday dramas in my life.
     I am thankful I can see and hear and touch and feel and even though my heart is guarded by a steel enforced door, I still have the ability to love the ones who don't hurt me.  I am thankful the sun came out and melted the nasty snow leaving dry roads to travel home on. 
     The more things I think of being thankful for the more the stressful things seem non significant.   Tomorrow I will pray for a better day and answers to today's stress.
