Gratitude Journal Entry #2

It's been a month since my last (and first) gratitude journal entry. Pretty pathetic considering I was going to try to post a gratitude entry each week. It's not that I don't have anything about which to write. On the contrary, I have so much for which I am grateful that it's difficult to decide about which topic I should blog. It's hard not to think about the struggling U.S. (and global) economy these days. It's scary to know that the most lucrative industries in this country are battling to stay afloat. In that vain, this week (or this month, possibly) I am focusing on that for which I am most grateful in the current economic state.

1. A home. Period. It's frightening how many homeowners have been forced into foreclosure.
2. The financial means to feed and clothe my family.
3. The opportunity to stay home with my children. I realize that at any given time I could be forced to return to work for financial reasons.
