Hmmm... what to be grateful for tonight? Its the night before the deployment. Its the last night I will spend with Tom for the next 8 months. Being grateful isn't on the top of my agenda. I've learned the power of positive thinking, and I am honestly trying to make it work for me right now.
Even though its because of this war that I am about to endure a tremendous hardship, its the thought of war that I've found something of which to be grateful. Freedom. It's taken for granted and not a second glance. How many times have I heard, "If so and so is elected, I'm moving to Canada!" My opinion, go. Think about it though. We are able to just get up and go. Everyone is dying to get here, and we are freely roaming around the world.
It's because of war that we have the freedoms we have. Our unallienable rights. Watching Tom leave tomorrow is more than likely going to turn me into a basket case, but I know he's going so Ellie and I can live freely. I am also very grateful for the family and friends that I'm going to lean and who are going to help support me this next year. I'm not too proud to ask for help, especially not when Ellie is concerned.
Thinking about our freedoms has helped to raise my spirits slightly, and that's a start. Positive thinking does work.
