Ya' Junebug, Me too! ......to people who can make me laugh and smile and not take myself so seriously too often, like fire did with him being grateful for beer and pizza because that certainly brings a good chuckle;

And like those hilarious bear video cartoons and now remembering veiled, and am grateful for having been acquainted with her and how extremely full of humor and funny she is.

I'm grateful for the wisdom of my GP & Psychologist, without their help & support & huge amount of patience over the last year I dread to think where I'd be.
For my friends & family for sticking by me when I just wanted to be left alone.
For this & PTSD uk forum, the support of fellow sufferers has been invaluable especially in those dark days after diagnosis when I went into hermit mode.
For my employer who has supported me over the last 4 yrs & enabled me to return to work.
For my new Granddaughter, for reminding me what is important in life.
For life - at last its beginning to feel worth living again!

I'm grateful that my session went longer than scheduled. It was difficult not only for the content but the time schedule was switched. I'm grateful that I showed up. That was an improvement because I didn't want to. I'm grateful heated leather seats and music.

Today I'm grateful for my home. Its taken me two years to say that. Instead of staying in because I'm afraid to go out I'm staying home simply because I want to & know that I'll be able to go out tomorrow without a panic attack.

For all the professionals who have now taken notice of how ill my husband is. And have now set up all the care he needs right now. :thumbs-up

For my husband trusting me to do all that was needed, and for letting the jack Russel sized rottweiler bite there arses to get that care ( me ) :eek:

And to a dear friend who has been there for me through all of what's happened over the last few weeks. Its now time to return the help. :Hug_emoticon:

And finally to my wonderful granddaughter who is 4 years old today, who understands that grandad is poorly and cannot go see her, but will talk to her on the phone later. :occasion: This is fruit juice in case you wondered lol

I'm grateful that I have a doctor who is really kind and caring

That I only dislocated my shoulder today and didn't fracture it!

For the people here and their inspiring and touching stories, that have helped motivate me to make some important choices

For being able to go out of my house on my own, without relying on xanax

For whoever discovered/invented Percocet... and for whoever invented the wonderful sedatives that I will be getting if/when I have to go for the MRI of my shoulder (it was the same shoulder I tore up the rotator cuff on a while ago, and they're concerned about it... and MRI machines are not so fun)

For good movies, and some instructors who are movie buffs who have been able to recommend some good movies to me, since that seems like it will be all I am allowed to do for a while

For beautiful surroundings and my digital camera, which is how I managed to get myself out of the house today.

I am grateful for the keys I have that help me to open doors that I need to open, I am grateful that I can watch a film again (almost in one go, or sitting I am grateful for that so very much also ) I am grateful that being triggered through exposure therapy ad learning to deal with triggers has helped me to I am gratfeul too/&or for so much this morning , for being alive and though trapped I am not hemmed in (no words there sorry) I am grateful that I know some amazing people the way I know them, I may not know everything but today I am gratfeul for what I do know~

I am grateful also that my son has just awoken and has come downstairs to talk to me ~

 

[Let It Be]

I grateful that I received a call this afternoon from the person that I met several weeks ago at the lake that I walk around on a daily basis.

She was calling to see if I would be interested in going for a walk. We met at the lake and then sat again under a shade tree and began to talk and talk.

I have been in a mess. I have been so angry at my sister. My mother wished I never been born and she wished she had aborted my brother. When my sister calls, she is calling usually about my brother. She told me how upset she was that she couldn't block his phone #. He lives in the same city as my mother and still sees her. My brother is now no longer calling her, but I realized how in the middle I have been this past year.

I told my friend today that I wasn't doing too well and as we talked about what was going on with both of us, she used that word that I felt inside and I knew it was the answer for me. The word was RESPECT. It is definitely something that I didn't grow up with.

So, my sister can be the person she is, but when she calls and begins to cross my boundaries, by not Respecting me...so another baby step for me...as I continue to learn to take care of me...
