What Are You Grateful For Today?

I am grateful that my son made it on his first road trip an hour away, safely.

I am grateful that I have medication to take when things are going badly.

I didn't take it yesterday and I monitored the anxiety and panic going up and down over some hours.

I'm grateful I'm feeling so good today. It's really because now I know about PTSD and I'm better able to manage everything. :joyful:

I'm actually excited about answering this one today, because I'm feeling very, very grateful!

I'm so incredibly grateful for this forum. :laugh:
I'm grateful for my friend who tells me the truth even when I can't hear it and have no way to understand it. :p
I'm grateful for music. :whistling:
I'm grateful for this moment when I'm feeling pretty happy and at peace. I know it won't last so I want to enjoy it. :D
I'm grateful for myself. I'm pretty awesome. I'm pretty strong to have survived the trauma and neglect I've suffered in my life. :cool:

Jeez... how overwhelming and mushy. :confused: I'm getting out of here before it gets too saccharin sweet. :wtf:

Today (and every day) I am grateful for my housemate, her kindness and support reminds me that there is still good in the world.

Grateful that I did get some stuff done yesterday despite it feeling like it was too hard for most of yesterday.

I'm grateful that my eldest son made it home safe and sound. Guess mom needs to loosen the reins a bit. Or be more relaxed when he starts doing grown up things. Thankfully he doesn't always see how uptight I get when I worry about him.

I am grateful that I found the courage to allow myself a sick day from work. (they are rare) I had a very difficult day yesterday so I really need a recovery day.(I am still trying to justify it in my mind. :meh:)

:joyful: I'm grateful for my life. The trauma and neglect I've experienced have actually made me stronger and smarter and better in a lot of ways... well, once order is brought to the chaos. Today there's order and very little chaos.

:cool: I'm grateful that today's a good day and I plan to enjoy it while it lasts.

:chicken: I'm grateful for my family.

:p I'm grateful for my friends.

:D I'm grateful for this forum.

:bookworm: I'm grateful for books and the internet and all kinds of sources and opportunities to learn.

:laugh: I'm grateful to be alive.

Since I'm feeling a bit bah humbug I need to remind myself of what I am grateful for...such as a roof over my head, food on my table, clothes on our backs, and my family and friends.

:D I'm grateful for @Britt.f7 who keeps adding in her goals and stuff, and is trying so hard and really doing great despite many obstacles in her path. It keeps me motivated to come here to the forum and put down my own updates. Thanks Britt! :D

:joyful: I'm grateful that I'm feeling pretty calm and good right now. It won't last, but I'm trying to enjoy it while it's here. I'm trying hard not to obsessively clean the house and not to direct holiday events like some sort of drill sergeant. It's hard. Little things that nobody notices in the house are driving me crazy. They're not at all a big deal, but I've just built up a lifetime of habitual responses to being at home in a house that isn't perfectly, obsessively clean (it's triggering). I'm working and working and trying and trying to be okay with imperfection. It's so hard. For me, a perfectly obsessively clean house = safety. I'm safe. No one will hurt me. It's so hard to trust that no one will hurt me even though the house isn't perfect. Intellectually, I know I'm safe. It's just the habit of feeling unsafe that's driving me crazy. :banghead: But I *am* very grateful that I'm safe. :joyful:
