30 Days Of Gratitude Day 12


I am thankful for my home.
It's not much; an old trailer we rent with weak spots in the floor and ugly paint on the walls.  The people hired to paint and do repairs probably work for the same people the Coyote from Roadrunner got his things from. But it is home, a roof over our heads and walls around us. It keeps us dry and warm in the cooler temperatures,  It is much more than many people have.
There is a homeless Veteran that stands beside an on ramp  close to where I pick up grandson from his other grandma.  He holds a container and a sign. He wears and old army coat and every time I see him I feel ashamed of all the times I complain about our home; how this and that are messed up and need to be fixed etc.
Thank you God for our home; help me to remain grateful and please prompt people who can help, to help those who need homes.

Like any refugee, I long for a new home to call my own, but my "homeland" of depression has a strong hold and sometimes I find myself teetering on the, nay slipping down, the edge of that awful pit God has brought me out of.

This blog is a way for me to work on the discipline of writing, and to voice my thoughts on my life and experiences on my journey to better health; mentally, physically and spiritually
