What Are You Grateful For Today?

[Dendrite]

I'm grateful for the posts that gizmo, fly away home and Ms Spock just made.

These stories have real meaning for me. I like to reflect on them.

Most of all, I am grateful for bumping into one of the men that abused me as a boy - he moved to my town (a shock to me in 1997) and I used to feel this was a curse. Today he is a feeble, stooped over old man and for the first time in my life he didn't look at me with abusers eyes but eyes of shyness and shame. I forgive you old man. I can say that today I forgive you and I have no desire to hurt you. I also have no desire to be your friend. Go in peace but stay away from me. Each day I walk past the bowling club and see you, you are reminded of what you did. That is enough for me..

Wow! I don't know what to say @Dendrite . That just blows my mind. I'm grateful to be able to talk to you on this forum. Humbled and grateful.

I am grateful for the ocean and it's ability to make everything feel insignificant.

Grateful for a change in perspective.

Grateful the water has been warm enough to make swimming a pleasure.

Grateful I can share this time with my daughter, just us and we are having fun.

I am grateful for the sticky tape that let me sticky tape chocolates and Easter Eggs on to Papa Bear's walker and walking stick.

I am grateful for being able to be the Easter Bunny of this household tonight.

I am so grateful for feeling so calm and relaxed.

And I am grateful to serve you and all, as forum friends. :)

I am grateful that even when I am tired and grumpy, I can still make a small effort to be kind.

Kindness is a habit that can change lives. I am grateful that I can forgive myself for the numerous times in my life when I haven't been kind.

To have had such an awesome experience with a friend early this morning, and spend hours cuddling and feeling safe and warm and loved.

To have had a renewing 4 days off.

To have friends I can have fun with and be safe.

Grateful to one particular new friend who gave me an amazing treat that took me on an incredible journey that lead to some profound things.

Grateful for my life at the moment.

Grateful for good music to help me through and provide an interesting atmosphere for cuddle parties.

I'm grateful my T has me doing schema therapy. It really has opened my eyes to my own behaviors and provided reasoning for them. None of which has ever made sense to me until now.

I'm grateful to still be learning. I'm still at the very beginning of this journey.

I'm grateful my father in law could come for Easter dinner, and that I was up to serving it and making it. Doesn't always work out that way, so I am very thankful!
