What Are You Grateful For Today?

[angrypanda]

Today I am grateful for medication. I was triggered hard and downward spiraled quickly. I did self care, whipped out coping skills, set boundaries, cried, but in the end it was the combination of those plus medication that allowed me to really cope. Manic panic was kept to a minimum as was self destructive behavior.

I'm grateful that I have at least one sister I can celebrate Christmas with.

Humor and jokes and reminders of Neew Yooork. /fricking loves NYC.

To be able to rest. To enjoy being a total futon-potato (or couch potato). To be lucky enough to scrounge food & to just nuke meals and plop back down with the lap top in sheer abandonment of any list other than fun.

*I even turned down a limo excursion (to the horror of my LandLord) to chill and watch an older series that I just adore called- Queer as Folks. Sometimes chillin' is an beautiful thing.:happy:

I'm grateful for a husband that loves, cherishes and supports me. Even when I'm a giant ass.

I'm grateful that even though I can't have my family(except my brother) for the holidays. That I still have a fun, safe, and normal place to be. My kids love their grandparents, and it's really wonderful to see such healthy relationships develop for them. Things I didn't have.

Also. I got a great hug today from a long time friend/mentor. He's really more like a father to me. I'm not a hug person, and he knows that, but today he reached for a big hug. I leaned in and asked him "you want a real hug today?" He told me he did, and hugged away. I'm thankful he did, it felt good and I must have needed it.

I'm grateful for my husband and I being able to work efficiently together and prepare a very delicious dinner for family and for which our Aunt and another got to enjoy as well.

My children.

- and Star Trek repeats for when I need to take it easy on myself.

I'm grateful that I'm here one more day to try again and to maybe go at it a little differently - been doing some writing as work is slower than a Grouper on a treadmill today. I've lined up projects to take in each day so that I don't just sit there and go bonkers due to boredom.

Not feeling grateful today, but know that I have much to be grateful for, including a couple of new tools for my toolkit for recovery.

Grateful for a day off, for a quiet morning, for peers that get what's going on with me.

Grateful septic people are coming here to pump our septic and inspect it so we can finally get to the heart of the matter with the flooding in the basement. Having it hang over our heads has not been good.

Grateful for friends made in 2015. Grateful I got the day wrong to see a friend and can now instead relax after slogging through slush/sleet/rain. Grateful to be alive. Grateful for this site.
