Gratitude - 10 Things I'm Thankful For

Image
So times are very tough right now for my husband and me. Our finances are up in the air and at the mercy of others. Our housing is up in the air and at the mercy of others. It's a tough time. Very. A lot of people will tell you to focus on the positive and have an attitude of gratitude, even through these times. I do that. I recognize that even though things are bad right now, I have more than a lot of people around the world and there are tons of things I'm grateful for. I'm going to list 10 today. These are in the order I thought of them, not necessarily order of importance. 1. My husband: We've been together almost 10 years now and married for almost 7. He's supportive.

*** Possible Trigger Warning when I discuss how Hera was forced to marry Zeus.*** I also did a video on this. You can find it at the bottom of this post. Basics of Hera Let’s start with some basic info on Hera, the Queen of the Greek Gods and Queen of the Heavens before we move on to the things about her story that piss me off. :smile: Hera is part of the Gods of Olympus in Greek Mythology. She rules over Marriage, Women, Birth, and the Heavens. Sacred items to her: Diadem, Scepter, Pomegranate, Peacock, Cow, Lily Gif from Giphy Her parents are Chronus and Rhea who are also the parents of Hestia, Demeter, Hades, Poseidon and Zeus. She is married to Zeus, the King of the Gods, who is also her brother. This is a common thing in Greek mythology. Her children are: Ares, Enyo, Hebe, Eileithyia, Hephaestus, Angelos, and Eris Gif from Giphy Hera’s equivalent in Roman Mythology is Juno. Her Story I’ve read so many hateful things about Hera. “She’s f
