What Are You Grateful For Today?

I am grateful that I can think and work things out.

I am grateful that I am moving again.

I am grateful that I decided to buy a printer so I will not have to go to the library when I need to print something off.

Just so much handier and I can print off something whenever I need to!

I am grateful that I can feel useful and productive.

I am grateful that I am slowly getting used to living alone and that I am not missing my husband too much today. I am grateful that I am starting therapy today.

I'm grateful for being able to smile. I'm grateful that the universe has a way of righting its wrongs. I'm grateful for sunlight.

I am grateful that even though I had cancelled the appointment to have A/C put in my car, they called today, and I now have another time scheduled for next week. The parts are in and it is almost, like it is meant to be!

I was having a hard time justifying to myself, spending the money on my car, it's old, but I believe I will be grateful when it is working again, and I can drive with my windows rolled up!

I am grateful for gradual improvements.

Focus of the gradual improvements and cherish the incremental changes. So it is all small baby steps and I am very grateful for each millimetre of it. Determined to focus on the gradual improvements and incremental changes. I can improve. I have improved a lot this week in regards to last week and the preceding months. I am making slow progress and I want to be content and happy with that.

I have a lot to be grateful for and I would like to keep that in mind more rather than the negativity that, at times, takes over. I also want to acknowledge my sustained effort with meditation and attending things and going out with as many people as possible that I have done over the last four/five months. I have been working away at it. I have been flailing a lot but I have been doing quite a bit as well. It has not been easy.

I have been challenging my thinking and feeling and this takes time and effort that I am doing.

Today I got up and ate breakfast. I came online. I went to woodworking and was with people. I didn't manage one of the social situations well but didn't beat myself up for it. I managed the rest okay. I came home, made lunch, spoke to a friend whom I wish I had put off until I had done what I needed to do, but that is okay. I kept reminding myself what is done is done and there is nothing I can do about it now. I wish the past was not so much in my present but I kept reminding myself. I went out again and went to a writing workshop as a favour and had a great time. Managed the social stuff well. I wrote a short story. It has been along time since I got published but it has kind of come back.

Once again regret for the offer of getting a book published and not following through on that came up. Reminded myself that what is done is done and it is a shame that my dissociation, neediness, insecurity and etc got in the way but I have to make the most of today. Allowed two people to give me gifts today. How lucky I am that two people would give me a gift in the one day? So must focus on that for a bit. Came home pleased that I had put effort into the day. Have come down with a cold but determined to get some more stuff done so I can move towards more self regulation rather than dysregulation. Each small act will help until I get to a tipping point.

I am very grateful for these insights.

I'm grateful that I was able to get things done when all I really wanted to do was crawl back into bed.

I am grateful that my haematologist said my blood results are good and that my low iron levels are caused by my heavy periods. he said it was like trying to constantly fill a bucket with a hole in it - the iron just drips out of my system.

I have to stay on iron tablets but I am being put on a new drug that should make my periods lighter.

I'm so pleased that there is nothing seriously wrong.:tup:

I am being put on a new drug that should make my periods lighter.

Hope they work for you Cath. I tried all sorts, nothing worked so had a minor opp to basically kill of the inside of my womb. It worked a treat, now no more periods. The best thing I ever had done.
