I don't always feel like it (like when I cursed this weekend because I forgot to turn the house alarm before opening the door).

I think it's therapeutic and will also make me more aware of my blessings, which I should remember to count always. That said, I didn't have a very adventurous life either so most of the time, I have very few tales to narrate.

Losing 75 lbs?! Running a blog while trying to take care of your family AND having a career? A Master's degree?! And surviving what sounds like a traumatic situation... you have SO MUCH to be proud of. Now, I am kind of the pot calling the kettle black here, because I do the same thing. But I am going to try to think more positively too, because we SHOULD be proud of these things. These things are making you an AMAZING role model for your daughter, making you inspiring to people around you! Hell, you've inspired ME! You're making an impact on this world- and a good one!
