once in awhile

Once in awhile, we all get into a mood...depressed, woe is me, poor me, and on and on.  And that is exactly how I've felt for the past couple days.  I kept thinking how nothing is going right and why is everything bad happening to me.  I couldn't get past the negative; all I could see was what I didn't like or what was wrong with life or my current situation. 
My ever-patient husband suggested, once again, that I think about the good things; the "things" that put a smile on my face or bring me a little joy.  Rather than just thinking about them, I'm writing them down this time. 
Sure, the things here are not the only things that bring me joy and certainly will never compare to my family, friends and the good Lord, but none the less, here they are. 
On the days I forget to count my blessings and see the good things that God has placed in my life, I can look back here and realize; everything is going to be okay.
