Things To Be Grateful For

My mother-in-law was supposed to visit this week but because of Covid-19 and the social-distancing movement she canceled her flight. I am frustrated at a lot of things that seem to be a result of Covid-19 (and the majority of it has to do with the government) but it helps to have a more tangible thing to focus my anger on.
So I told J that I was mad at his mom.
He asked me to not be mad at his mom right before the end of the world. 😂

We have a lot to be thankful for:

J is able to continue working
J can work from home (that he likes working from home)
For the family time that we have been getting
That we like spending so much time together and haven't grown tired of each other
For the great weather
Our home
That there isn't a food shortage
Not all of our money was in the stock market
I am home with the kids
I can homeschool Hulk
That I like homeschooling Hulk (that I prefer it to taking him to a school)
We are all healthy

I am sure there are others but that's all I can think of right now.

Making a list of what I am thankful for doesn't help the frustration I feel but it does help me refocus.
I am still unreasonably mad at things beyond my control. Like Thomas Jefferson.
But I can still be grateful for the good things I do have control over and work to move on with my life.
