August 24

So, speaking of changing my perspective, I recently started keeping a gratefulness journal. My mom recommended it to me. First, I was just thinking of things in bed at night, but sad to say, those things flew right out of my brain by the next morning. So, I started writing things down, and Orlando has been joining in.

Some of Orlando's entries (dictated to me):

August 9th
Today, I am grateful for... climbing rocks, playing with L., being with you, cooking with you, being on mine own, being at Peppi's Playground, rolling down the hill, playing monsters and ghosts and sharks (with Papa), birds and trees, climbing the tree, Sophie (our neighbor) and me, Mica and Rom.

August 11th
Today, I am grateful for eating my snack and playing in the sandbox. That's it, now I want to nurse.

August 12th
Today, I am grateful for... nothing.

August 13th
Today, I am grateful for... you, I like being with you and being alone, being with Mica and with Papa, thinking about stuff and looking around, being with you and being on my own journey. (He really said that!)

August 15th
Today, I am grateful for... just all the things.

August 16th
Today, I am grateful for... playing but not hitting, food, eggs, salmon and peas.
