Death and Healthy Habits

Jack’s death shook me. He was only 44 years old.  In the past I might have gotten drunk. I wrote a gratitude list instead. It wasn’t easy. I wasn’t feeling grateful, but I wrote it anyway. I added a list of five people I was grateful I was not, starting with Jack. 

I sent Dr. Deb, Brat Boy, and Blondie texts telling them I loved them. I wanted to remind myself of all the wonderful people in my life.

I hadn’t felt like doing any of it, but eperience had taught me healthy habits can be sort of an autopilot for steering through grief, anger, and depression.

Today I will develop healthy habits.
