What Are You Grateful For Today?

I'm pretty stoked about getting approved for a new apartment, and signing the lease yesterday afternoon. Only a 100 dollar deposit too.

On the seventh floor of a 15 story high rise, and facing west so I can see the sunset over the Rockies just west of Denver every evening.

Looking to the north I'll be able to see the lights of downtown only about 7 blocks away. Gonna be very cool if I can just survive the stress of the whole moving process. Moving in the first of July.

I am grateful today that I feel like I am begining to face back in the right direction again I hope.

I am so very grateful also to be here and to be encouraged in keeping on going with learning here too.

Today I have two things to be grateful for. Firstly, after a conversation I had with my mum last week where I told her "it seems like the older I get chronologically, the younger I get emotionally.. and a huge part of me feels like a seven year old that just wants to hold her mummy's hand".. she sent me a plush toy.. a stuffed horse. Pretty simple gesture, but considering she lives 3000 miles away and I have no family near me - it really helped.

Secondly, I made my favourite food ever. Fresh, crusty white roll with cos lettuce, vintage cheddar cheese, beetroot, spanish onion, avocado, rock salt, cracked pepper and Japanese mayo. SO delicious and familiar and comforting.

So I guess today has been pretty good. :rolleyes:

Julia, the sandwich sounds amazing. :)

I'm grateful I gave EFT another shot, and a naturopath a try. I'm grateful for the good suggestions and information I find on this site.

Today I am grateful for the friendships I have. I am grateful that I have been able to ask for their help.

I am more grateful every day for going back to my maiden name several years ago.

I called the attorney to file the papers on the anniversary of my husband's death and asked her to have the Judge sign the papers on a certain date. The date was my marriage date and so on that date, I went back to my maiden name.

I am grateful that my life hasn't been the same since then and wonder if I will ever get to that place where I can deal with my husband's treatment of me. I haven't been in a relationship since he was killed...

I am grateful for my husband's loyalty and commitment to our family and myself, and his recent growth and development.

I am grateful for the smiles, laughter and humor my daughter shares so freely.

I am grateful for her developing thinking skills, thoughtfulness and insight she enjoys offering.

I am grateful for our son. And, grateful for his love and all his efforts and sincerity in heart and soul.

I am grateful for bowling and all the walking which kids and I, and sometimes husband too, have been doing, enjoying and benefitting from.

I am grateful that I had an appointment with my counselor today and I definitely had something to talk about with her.

She suggested that since my sister and myself do not e-mail one another, for me to just send a note card to her. We came up with what to say to her. I will tell her that since I received that packet of information that she didn't hear me about being unable to deal with our mother, and that I need space and time to heal, and for her to respect my wishes to be alone........(In other words, leave me alone - no more abusive putdowns)

I also called my brother to tell him the latest.

So, I will not be picking up the phone if she calls...I have Caller ID... Hugs to all of you...

I'm thankful for my husband and children who love me regardless of my condition.

I am grateful that I have a massage scheduled for tomorrow. Although I'm trying to justify spending money on me...my body has listened to my sister's abusive putdowns for too long.

I am also grateful that I mailed the the note-card to my sister today.

Although my sister probably won't receive the note-card on the 4th, at least I will be celebrating my "freedom" from her.

It will get quite noisy here on the 4th...but in some ways I will be experiencing a "peace" like I have never felt.
