What Are You Grateful For Today?

[Tinyflame]

My boisterous (but great), partying neighbours- about 4 huge guys- each 250-350 lbs, and their presence near an awful, intimidating (to me) neighbour of mine (who ran away 3 times hearing them!) One guy has a (great) laugh, sound like a grizzly bear, but happy: it was like being on a staycation in the woods with my window open. :):tup: I stopped short of tellling them all, "I love you!!" , but only by a little. :laugh:

Was thinking though, that neighbour is same person caused great grief on my mom's deathbed- knowing, too it was- literally. And when another close relative died, said nothing. Amongst much else. Which I don't stew on, but I do think- if you can do that without a conscience, what can I say? For most people, even the biggest jerks, they wouldn't do that. :(

I am grateful that I can look forward to things

I am grateful that I am not living with my partner

My faith, God and His grace.
The sun.
Music.
Nature.
On Demand programming so that I can watch Animal Planet shows and Hallmark movies, so as to skip the news for the time being.
The Internet.
This community and the kindness I've been shown.

A T who accepts that some days I can't be bothered, I'm not interested, and I have things to do.

More clarity on my life and problems. Any step, no matter how large or small, is helpful for me. It took me my whole life to get to the mindset that I am now. I am so glad I found clarity.

It feels like I'm leaving the cage finally. I am free. People will treat me as they normally would, and now I know my worth- priceless and precious. I am most happy to get here and thank you all too for your support and encouragement.

My mind and body are free. I'm not going to be anyone's maid or servant or laborer ever again.

Also, being unappreciated, some friendships and or romantic relationships are not worth your soul, your heart, your dignity, decades of time and heartbreak, anxiety, health issues, many things not worth it, IMO and experience. and as much as it hurts, you have to let go of someone you love, someone close to you, Especially if they are taking advantage of you, your heart, your time, your kindness, your value of self, (they may something obvious and huge that's bad in your life and never tell you, like you have battered woman syndrome, and they may take advantage of you too, in other ways such as being your partner, or a sibling, definatly parents, ect....sadly the cycle continues. Unless you see it for what it is and remove them from your life if you wished. (They know you will continue to take it, because you don't recognize it. I was completely exhausted in all ways. I thought about things, and realized horribly and sadly, I left home to be someone else's maid, servant, laborer, cook, ect, for a very long time. I know now, what I was never taught, how to love myself, encourage myself and to recognize the signs that I was being used and or taken for granted or advantage of.)

(Or the response is from a parent, the whole family, or anyone else who is close to you.)

Cross stitch. I already love it. Colours and creativity in neat little blocks.

Strictly Come Dancing looking like it could be the best series they've ever had.

Treatment that might actually help me.
