What Are You Grateful For Today?

[WildMermaid]

I'm grateful it is only like 5 hours until my son goes to read in bed. ;) I'm also quite grateful the sandwich Pete made me today when I was dealing with the aforementioned boy.

I'm grateful my sister has time for lunch with me. Though she asked me to help her pick out a dress. Lately we've been going with our other siblings too. It's nice to have her all to myself, and a bit quieter.

I'm grateful for our new colleague who is really gentle and nice. It feels good to work with him - a new experience.

I'm grateful for Pete Walker's website and his list of things to do in a flashback.

I am grateful that I finished writing my essay.

Sun, aaair, boyfriend, friends, waking up where the hell I am not where half of my mind still keeps suggesting I am. Also for lemonade. And for birds and sounds of planes around. And for warmth-that's-not-hot. And s2g I'll stop it here because I'm grateful for f*cking everything.

I am grateful that the two people I love are working out their problems with each other. It could turn into an ending or a new beginning I do not know but I am grateful that the cruelty has finally ended.

Chicken & Vegetables, I can have a big meal without hardly any carbs / sugar - am trying to reduce my blood sugar and they are really helping.

I physically did something I haven't been able to do in over a year!!!

Part of my GAD involves the need to focus excessively on all the (mostly perceived) negatives in my life, and then worry about them excessively. I am going to try to post something to this thread every day to shift my focus (if only for a little while) to all the positives in my life.

I am grateful to have woken up next to a beautiful person (my boyfriend) this morning, who gave me a big snuggle before getting up. And then came back to bed and gave me another one!

I am grateful for the two little balls of love and energy (aka dogs) of his, that lavish affection on me constantly and make me giggle.

I am grateful that, even though I feel like I still have a long way to go in overcoming my fears, I am learning to be honest with myself (most of the time). Next step: learning to be kind to myself.

I am grateful that I have people in my life that I can trust - namely my sister, my mum, my dad and my brother and a few close friends. People who I love and who love me very much too.

I am grateful that I have close friends who accept me for who I am (even though I feel like a complete nutjob some days), and are patient and loving and have not abandoned me, even though I am not always a good friend to them. The same is true of my family.

I am grateful that I am healthy, and have a job and an income that I can live comfortably on.

I am grateful that I have a boyfriend who is understanding and supportive of me when I am having difficulties, despite having his own (not inconsiderable) challenges to deal with. I am constantly surprised that he hasn't bailed on me yet, even when his PTSD symptoms are making life difficult for him too.

Yep, it's as I suspected. I have so much to be grateful for!
