So at the end of a long day as a sequence to many long days Ive finally landed.
Thanks to the goodness of good people both here at Myptsd and irl.

Now specially for latter. Im grateful to have recived unexpected support when I needed it the most these two last days. What a blessing it is when some one gives you of their time and unsolicited help to solve something youve struggled with.

This is true healing :happy:
 
Why not all of use share blessings here! I have so many blessings. Yesterday my blessing was that we were expecting a huge snow storm so I asked a friend of mine to take me to the grocery before it arrived, so I would not be without, were we to get snowed in. She did and I thanked her profusely.

Today there is no snow as yet. I don't know what will happen as the day progresses, but I am ready either way. I am about to go out and get some other supplies, go to the Post Office, etc. I have no car, so anyone who gives me a ride anywhere is a blessing to me!
 
WOW, thanks! My blessing today was that I got a good night of sleep and am being very organized today. I am getting ready to send some family heirlooms on to the next generation today, and I have them all ready to take to the post office so that I can wrap them in bubble wrap, box them and send them. These are some photos, paintings and pictures made completely with feathers of birds. I have no children, so I am sending them to my niece and nephew. They have expressed an interest, so I want these to remain in the family. I live far away from them so if I don't do this, when I die, these things could end up in a dumpster somewhere. That would break my eternal heart! I am in my mid 60s, so it is time to do this. Not to soon and not too late.

I am also getting together with a lawyer next week to make a will. I am not sure what I will do with everything yet, but it is worth something I think! There are so many works of art on my walls, some by me, some by family and some by friends and strangers too.
 
Today Im gratefull for a good chat with Jass :hug:

And Im also thankful for SheilaKathys post here:)

In addition the sun is shing and I havent given up despite im doing what I have to do in the very last moment. I still belive I just might be able to do this :happy:
 
A friend of mine agreed to be my power of attorney, to make checks out for me, and do other things, in case I am hospitalized ever again. Also, since there is a history of dementia in my family, I run the risk of getting it too. In that case, I would need to be admitted into a nursing home, should I become unable to survive in the world. Basically, that means unable to carry out my activities of daily living, unable to bathe, dress, fix meals, etc. I hope this never occurs, but...
 
I thought we should have a place to share our blessings, so I am creating this one.

A blessing could be anything that is small or huge. An example of a large one could be receiving a car for your graduation, or one as simple as your grandmother sending you a dozen home made cookies in the mail, or anything in between.

I look forward to hearing all about your blessings. Also they can be abilities that God has blessed you with, like a caring heart or even a loving spirit. Or maybe He has blessed you with some talent, like being an excellent driver who has never had an accident.

Really, a blessing is anything that gives you or others great happiness and joy or just good feelings in general.

I look forward to reading all about your blessings! Share as often as you like. Each day brings new blessings!
 
I'm still alive....

Had several near death accidents from cars, airplane, and earthquake.

They had to use "jaws of life" to get me out of car. Car had did a complete flip I am told. I could see ground from floor board, and I'm a safe driver. Times when dissociation is good.

And very grateful for off-duty paramedic driving behind me who saw everything, and helped me.

Note: To anyone afraid of flying. I still feel safer flying.

Yes, the gift of daily life is a blessing, agreed. One of the greatest blessings in my life is light. I am afraid of the dark, so when the dawn first begins to light up the sky every morning, I rejoice. I am an early riser, often waking at 3AM. Consequently I go to bed at 7:30PM or so. Maybe 8PM at the latest, unless I am busy with something.
