I'm remembering the thankful list we had when we lived on East Ashman. Things were not going well, financially. Pat was out of work for the third time in two years. We were behind on every single bill. The house was up for sale because we didn't want to lose it.
I decided we needed to have a list of reasons to be happy. So I put long sheets of computer paper (remember computer paper???) on the wall in the kitchen and we started writing things on it. It changed our attitudes about everything. Every day we couldn't wait to see if someone had added something to be thankful for - and one day we came home and found that our next door neighbor, Kay, had written something on the list! That was the best day.
