Today Is A Great Day!

[TeaLeaf]

I have suffered a lot in my life and struggled through an abusive childhood, depression and PTSD. Today and the past few weeks as well as large portions of the past two years have been amazing- I've been able to experience joy and peace in my life, something I never thought possible.

There is nothing specific about today that makes it great. I'm just overjoyed that I am able to get up out of bed, I'm not hungover, not overwhelmed by dissociation, I have some money in the bank, my marriage is good, I can get through my day without being overwhelmed by anxiety and I physically feel good. Knowing how low I have been so many times just makes me want to get the word out that no matter how low you've sunk, there is always hope that you can recover and experience times where you are happier than you ever thought possible.

It feels really good to say that.

If nothing else, PTSD can lead one to really appreciate small miracles like a peaceful day. So glad to hear you caught one of those!
