Grateful to have my friggin expense reports done ... from July! Big source of work anxiety gone. Now to the 12 billion other things I'm behind on ...

 

[Lionheart]

I am grateful that I am inheriting a hospital bed to sleep on...as I have fibromyalgia and chronic pain, as well as sleep difficulties, and this is like a blessing from heaven for me.

I am grateful for my sister who keeps me on my toes when it comes to household chores, cooks some great meals, and is probably my bestest friend in the world.

I am grateful that my mother is making the best of being in a nursing home, getting out and making new friends, etc I am grateful that she is alive at almost 80 yrs old.

I am grateful for my sister's boyfriend who has helped us tremendously to get moved into a new apartment, taken us shopping (we have no car) etc.

I am grateful for this often lonely and difficult life, it has made me stronger than I ever imagined I could be.

Okay I think @The Albatross hit the spot with all the queso enchilada yumminess. OMG. What I would give.

Grateful for live music and friends, caffeine, and black-out curtains
And makeup to hide my face
And my dog. Always grateful for my dog

 

[VioletButterfly]

Along with being grateful for all of the opportunities and niceties (the good stuff) that God places into my life, I'm grateful for the challenges as they strengthen me and bring new insights/skills into the mix.

I'm also grateful that I'm tending toward being emotionally and mentally flexible at present. A good thing as I'm feeling a bit like Gumby right now.

I'm grateful that I am still able to come out here and share, ask a question, or to offer insight or encouragement.

Very grateful for all of you! :joyful::joyful::joyful::joyful: (wish we had a butterfly emogi or maybe some rays of light -- sending out both)

I'm just grateful that I have the confidence to get out more, like today, when I went to the supermarket for my meal.

I always go at the same time, when it's quieter, but it was only a few months ago when I couldn't even go outside the house?

^^^ Progress, progress!

 

[Lola Nocheprieta]

I'm grateful that:

My work week is over

I spoke to someone I was avoiding and now I don't have to deal with it

I am able to be honest without feeling too ashamed/embarrassed

I got a faculty member/dean off my ass

I have a lot of support at work

I have a loving, supportive wife

Tomorrow I see my psychiatrist and my psychologist (T) ... Yay! I seem to hold on by my fingernails all week and even though t is hard as f*ck I always look forward to seeing her.

I'm grateful that:

My work week is over

I spoke to someone I was avoiding and now I don't ha...

@Lola Nocheprieta, one academic to another: that faculty member/Dean off your ass is a real high point! :)

 

[SinkorSwim]

I've been able to concentrate at work this week and get work done!!! I called my therapist when I was struggling and she helped reassure me.

I am grateful that l just realized about a week ago that l don't startle and my strange short shallow breaths don't happen. Not in lock-down mode when l go out. This is new, it feels good. That has led to happy thoughts, like look at that flower, that person is acting like a complete idiot, haha. And finally, l live near little Thai-land, greatful for shredded green papaya with chopped tomatoes, fresh lime juice, sweet chili pepper sauce, and some shrimp. And greatful for the Thai deity outside store that l make a private wish when l walk by.

@Lola Nocheprieta, one academic to another: that faculty member/Dean off your ass...

Yeah, baby! I'm an attorney, too, but I'm *staff* at this law school, so getting one of the many Associate Deans (affectionately known as "Ass Deans") off my back is a pain off my Ass!
