feeling grateful?

Earlier this year, I got myself a 'things i'm grateful for' notebook... I was hoping it would keep me looking to positive things that are in my life.... I have yet to fill in a single page.  It's kind of hard to be happy, content, or even grateful when Lily died last year. Perhaps it is time that heals but it seems a distant dream at the moment.
I'm just getting through life one day at a time.

Mandy - your post is so honest - I wish I could give you a huge hug in person- but I am sending you lots of virtual hugs. Please don't be harsh on yourself, I cannot imagine how difficult the past year has been - you are sublime each and every day, take life one day at a time grief and loss have no rule book to follow HUGS xxxx
