Sometimes go to David Steindl Rast's website, gratefulness.org to light a candle.

It is inspiring, grannyactivist. If we do need to give ourselves a talking to, I suppose it's along these lines. I feel sadness creeping up at this time of the year, and am fighting it quite well, this time, I think. Got a 'sad anniversary' coming up, and as well as that, my DD is still estranged from me, BUT my DS has met a girl and they have fallen in love. That makes me so happy! The other two things, I can do nothing about, so I just have to 'bear' them, but my son is HAPPY! Therefore, I am grateful! smile

Just recently I've been feeling sad for a number of reasons; remembering my brother and son in law who have died, missing my daughter in New Zealand and my estranged grandchildren, anticipating my daughter and her family moving away in the New Year.....
I'm not usually one to dwell on what can't be changed and so I've given myself a bit of a talking to and started to 'count my blessings'. Then I came across this TED talk that I found to be quite inspiring, so I thought I'd share it with you. smile
