Gratitude Journal
I've dealt with a chronic illness which thankfully is being "quiet" right now, but on my worst days, I had to think very *small*. I kept a gratitude journal for the small things I appreciated. For example: * the ability to walk to and use the bathroom without assistance * a supervisor who lets me take time off when I truly need it * foot rubs from my husband that distract me from pain * a dog that loves me * good food to eat when I can keep it down As you can see, some of these things are pretty small. If I were unable to get out of bed, I would come up with other items.

Thanks for the words of encouragement
It's difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel right now, but I think I see it.
