What Are You Grateful For Today?

[Friday]

To live in a country where slavery is illegal. Yes, it still happens, but no, it’s not viewed as right/just.

That even though I'm physically ill I've been really functional and managed to get my son everywhere he needed to be... grateful for that opportunity

That i met a man last weekend that has given me a solid week of feeling like I have it pretty good. That is something we miss in today's culture, we don't want to know anyone we don't have to know most of the time, and getting into a conversation with a stranger is a rare thing.
We met through music, I was selling parts of an instrument and he was buying, 10 minutes in a a wallmart parking lot. His life was vastly harder than mine, his situation entirely outside my own experiences but the idea that music is a healer was shared and then he told me about what he was healing from. I too am healing and music is my favorite escape from the tangle, but it saved this guys life and I am glad to know the story. Tears in my truck on the way home.

My missing friend is found and safe and got great news that the Dr says her cancer treatment has worked. Great news.

As a way to cope, I made a list of things I am grateful for today. It's something that I have found to be useful in the past. It has a stabilizing effect for me. It helps me keep a broader, more accurate, perspective. It doesn't always make me feel better. However, it usually does make coping a little easier.

What am I grateful for today?

I woke up this morning. I awoke from a restless night's sleep in my own bed. I didn't wake up with a hangover.

I am grateful to start my day with a fresh cup of coffee and cigarettes to smoke. These are two pleasures I can count on everyday.

I have genuine, trusting friendships I can count on too, if I just chose to pick up the phone.

I have a job that does more for me than just the bills.

I am grateful that I am not the person I used to be. I can feel demolished without further destroying myself.

I am grateful for the warmth and sunshine today.

I am grateful that I did not use a permanent solution to a temporary problem

I am grateful for my little brother and cousins. They remind me that there are people I am safe around.
