Was just sitting here sulking, wondering what the hell I'm going to do now. While my bipolar illness went untreated, I cut this huge destructive path through my life. I alienated my husband and most of my friends and family. I lost my job, I have no money, my husband wants me out of the house and out of his life. So I was feeling sorry for myself.
But my life doesn't suck, I mean, not really. If I want to get realistic about it, my life is actually pretty swell. Here are 10 things that I'm thankful for today:
* It's chilly outside, but I'm inside and warm.
* My son is at work and not fighting in Iraq.
* I'm not physically ill or handicapped.
* I do have a decent car and job skills.
* I'm not hungry.
* I'm not pregnant.
* I'm taking effective medication and feeling better all the time.
* I'm not drinking.
* I'm not hospitalized or jailed.
* I have a good mind when it's working properly.So, it's not that bad.
