One concept that I agree with but can't quite embrace is the "attitude of gratitude" thing. I guess it's far easier for me to carp about shit. What sucks about that is that it becomes deeply ingrained. I sure don't want to be one of those people who spew negativity all the damn time, but I see myself doing it. Anyway, I have a great deal of trouble coming up with positive statements about myself or things to be grateful for. I'm fairly defeatist and dismissive of my talents. It doesn't help that my talents don't appear to be marketable and the thought of pursuing them to wind up starving anyway makes my blood run cold. But anyway.
Awright, I'm grateful for:
- The ability to read (imagine not being able to read!)
- My healthy body and all the five senses
- The opportunity to return to college for my degree
- My shrink (who, by the way, will not be happy that I've gotten back with Eduard)
- My brother, who's a cool dude
- My friend John, who's always been compassionate, understanding and encouraging (indeed, he's the only person I trust enough with the crud written herein)
That'll do for now.
