The Silver Lining

I have a really amazing friend who has been going through a living hell for the past 9 months. On her blog, she has started making a list of just a few simple things that she is grateful for, to help keep her focused on what she has been blessed with.
I think it is a great idea, and probably something I need to do myself right now. I am under a tremendous amount of stress, and all I can do is wait for the other shoe to drop... probably in the next two weeks. I am not patient, so I need to spend my time thinking about the positive. Not my strong point, but here goes:
A few simple things to be grateful for:
children who know how to read, children who will read to each other, a husband who had a wonderful spiritual experience and wanted me to take part in it, breathing without wheezing, counselors who support me, a mom who listens to panicked phone calls and gives good advice, daughters who love to dress up, being able to buy food without worrying about money, three cars that run, Pinching Your Pennies, hair blogs, good instincts, newspapers, green grass that is growing where it should be, the ability to go to the temple whenever I want, a college degree that I can always fall back on, summer.
