Being grateful

[Archives1]

I currently have two cents in my bank account. I may get a grant in the next couple of days that will help me through the next month but currently am flat broke. Earlier today I was in a foul mood. But instead of thinking how much things suck I decided to list what I’m grateful for.
1) my shipment of diapers is finally coming tomorrow.
2) I got my box of wipes today.
3) a new home health aide starts tomorrow. She will be here Thursday and Fridays.
4) I have Emma the cat
5) she has litter and food for the month.
6) I was able to do an Instacart order for food using my food stamps. They gave me the wrong coffee creamer though.
7) I paid my rent so I have somewhere to lay my head for the next month.

That’s what I’ve got.

I love your outlook! I have a sign on my wall that says there is always, always, always something to be thankful for. Your post reminds me of that.

HI @justej, I know how that is, just wondering how the hell you're going to pay for everything and it seems to be never ending!
But you've got the right outlook. You know what you have that's important for now versus what you don't. But as you say, at least you're in line for a grant. And a new home health aide who I hope will be awesome to you!! And Emma is there through thick and thin! Well I know you will prevail!!!

It's great you keep a positive outlook. I don't know if I could be so positive in that situation. When I get low of money, I'm glad I already have my diapers as well! That way I won't have to worry about having any unfortunate accidents.

I think that mindset and good mental health are about 75% of this whole incontinence issue.

I think you are right on target, FLGuy!!! Certainly having as positive an attitude as possible plays a major part in it.
