something I am grateful for today

[johncomic]

So many things, so much to enjoy, so much to love... I decided to settle on this:

I must admit that I am actually confronting a few ongoing problems these days. As recently as two years ago, these problems would be causing me anxiety -- I once sought out a therapist to help me deal with the stress of one of these problems. But today... I keep feeling that I love my life, I see these problems as things that I can cope with and ultimately won't matter so very much.

Today I am grateful that I have learned that I can be happy even while I am confronting difficulties. Maybe it only means that my problems are not really all that big and that I used to make a bigger deal out of them than they really were. In which case I am grateful to be able to keep my problems in perspective now. But either way, to have learned that you can be truly and deeply happy even when things aren't perfect -- this is a blessing.
