I am grateful that I could sleep in this morning since I was exhausted from a hard school week.<P>5. and last but not least, I am grateful my husband enjoys hugging me, even in his sleep, and that I can wake up feeling as good as I did this morning!<P>Thank You, God.<P>------------------<BR>Chick's<P>You won't see things until your ready to not be blind!<BR>

Dear Newwoman:<BR>O.K., I'll do this one. I haven't done one in awhile but it's good to do one to keep your head on straight and positive.<BR>I am grateful for:<BR>1) my 2 beautiful children.<BR>2) a caring and loving mother<P>You know, after #2, I stopped and couldn't think of anything else. Isn't this a sad situation. Hummmmmm. I still can't think of anything even though I just sat here for 5 minutes. I'll give it another 5 minutes.<P>3) the things that I have accomplished in my<BR> life<BR>4) listening to my inner voice that is almost always right<BR>5) trying to improve myself everyday by reading and doing something that improves<BR> me as a person..spiritually.<P>There, I guess the last five minutes was pretty easy. Good idea New Woman.<BR>
