What Are You Grateful For Today?

[Teasel]

For a brighter mood
For stumbling on some articles about depression that make more sense to me than anything I've read on it before
For being able to see a little hit of a way forward today.

Wanting self care
Being able to verbalize my shame
Wanting to spend my money on experiences rather than stuff

I'm grateful for all the times J goes out of his comfort zone for no other reason than, Me. I couldn't feel more loved than in those moments

Being with my family and celebrating my granddaughter's second birthday.
My husband being home from an out of state job.
Feeling better mentally and emotionally than I have in a decade.

That after an entire month where I had lost sight of what feeling balanced was like I've started having a few days I feel in control. The loss of control shows me I have taken this peaceful time where I'm not deeply depressed or manic for granted.

Fuzzy robes, roasted dandelion root tea, warmth, human connections, and no vital obligations other than to breathe.

I'm thankful for new teeth and almost being done with a year of work. A very comfortable bed and room...so cozy and warm...dark leathers and beach colors. I'm thankful for the stretchy clothing I'm wearing and the pale blue sky.

Knowledge that I absolutely CAN handle a crisis period better than I thought I could. I'm a big girl now that I can ask for help.

That after a few weeks I recognized this as previous symptoms and instead of completely freaking out, I went researching to attack what in my head was attacking me.

I'm grateful for my therapist. She really has gotten to know my strengths and weaknesses over the past few years. I was in contact with her daily and had extra sessions when I realized I was in trouble.

For my aprn who didn't drop me as a patient. I've been unable to do appointments because we had money problems and a few days ago I ran out of available refils. But I've been compliant.

My granddaughter.
Beauty of Lake Michigan.
Hot cup of coffee on a cold morning.

Sunrise
living
fires in the fireplace
heavy blankets.

Life, plain and simple.

This forum. And the knowledge that I can always come back and somebody will remember me.
