What Are You Grateful For Today?

[void]

That her suffering is finally over.
The only one I ever trusted.
My dear sweet, _______.
Your loss still pains me, I suspect it always will.
I loved you.
I miss you.
True rest and peace.

 

[Multitudes]

For a good therapy session.
For presenting a valid argument to a xenophobe, causing him to hurl an insult and storm off in a huff. I really enjoyed that!
For spending some social time with my son before the PS4 sucked him into Gameland.

For the sun! It is the rainy season and it hasn't rained, which is unusual and a little bit scary. It is colder than normal again this year, and I am grateful for all the firewood that others helped us cut up and stack! I have about 4 cords now.

I'm grateful for fresh eggs. For my chickens that make me laugh. For my dogs who love and protect me. For my step-father who sold me his truck.

 

[Anrish]

Thoughtful colleagues.

 

[Teasel]

For the sunlight streaming through the window, landing dappled on me.
For the sound of the wind, quite strong today and birds calling every now and then.
For having curiosity over what birds they are.
For dissociation, dear friend.

 

[Anrish]

Finally weekend.

 

[DharmaGirl]

For the few minutes my pain drops below a 7.
For the ability to help a mom give her teens Christmas.
For coffee!!
For my closer relationship with my mom.

I just had the most hilarious online encounter with someone who must exist in a permanent semi-dose beside his keyboard, waiting for responses to his Troll posts.. very sad indeed. Made me feel significantly better about myself. :D

 

[SophiaWisdom]

For the incredible transformation I'm going through.

 

[MyWillow]

For the effort required to create a garden from scratch on a very steep block. Certainly makes for a good distraction and focus.

For the dear, dear neighbour’s kids - lots of things but especially that they invited me to their creative dance performance last night. In the end their Mum and Dad couldn’t go because of work commitments and I was so proud to be there even if I felt really alone and out of place. It was a very special production.

 

[One step at a time]

For the loan of a working laptop from a friend.
For going home to somewhere good, soon.
For developing skills to deal with being shaken up.
For this night, which has reminded me of myself and the ways in which I'm doing quite well.
For a friend who is going away for a while - I'm so grateful to know her.
For hope, despite all the hurt.

For the abundant joy and happiness the Newfs express even when I return from just getting the mail. :)
For being alive and able to enjoy the holidays with my family when so many close family and friends aren't here any more.
For cranking up the music and being able to hear and dance just because.
