Sure there are things I want and wish I had, but there is so much I have that I am grateful for. I have my family and friends, my apartment, my job, and my Self-Advocacy groups. I am especially happy with all my Apple technology, my Self-Determination plan, and all those degrees that I have. Most importantly my life has meaning, purpose, and direction. Sure there are things in my life I wish I didn’t have, but on balances the plusses far out way the minuses. It takes discipline and focus to remember this because the minuses sometimes clamor for attention. Gratitude helps me be a better self-advocate because everyone likes a happy warrior. It also helps my SDP run more smoothly and effectively. How is your gratitude doing?
