I am lucky - the first

I am lucky:

to be alive
to have Dave
to have my family (both human and feline) and their good health
to live in a rent-controlled apartment

I made myself a bracelet that says, "it is what it is." The words face inward because they're meant for me.
Maybe if I can remember that sentiment more often, I'll stop focusing on what I've lost and concentrate on what I have.

Millions of people have it worse and I am lucky. Even when it doesn't feel that way.

I used to try "This, too, shall pass" but it always seemed condescending and never worked for me. Now I say to myself, "Some people have real problems." That works wonders.

Knowing what I know about your life situation, I think you have a terrific attitude. Now go tell Dave how you feel. :) He'll like that.
