What Are You Grateful For Today?

[BloomInWinter]

Today, I am grateful that my brain hid my true self until I was safe enough to finally allow her to leave her cage.

Trying to be consistent with this gratitude task each day as I know it is going to make a difference, however, it's well, hmmmmm, I'm feeling like a curmudgeon and kind of hesitant today, so please bear with me. Along with my faith, which will always be the most important thing I am grateful for in my life, I'm grudgingly putting this out there - that I'm grateful for the temp to perm job I accepted yesterday. It is a blessing in so many ways as I have hardly any money left and do need to be around people more, but not the job I wanted and not wanting to wait 3 months for insurance if they even offer any or what the perm salary will be. It's a small firm. I didn't ask, but will in a week or so. So, it just feels like I'm forestalling the inevitable and this chronic unemployment will continue. Then again, maybe this is just a bridge that God put out here for me to tide me over until what I want and really need comes along. I feel like I'm being ungrateful in not being "Whoopee I have a job!!!" about it all. Then again, I'm exhausted from all of the instability. Working on reframing my thinking on it. This is why I'm making it a conscious effort to come out each day to remind myself of what I have to be grateful for. I see perspective in so many of your posts out here, thank you for sharing.

Being allowed to have another day when so many I know don't any more.

Today I found an old ski made of composite material strengthened with spring steel in the trash, and I'm gonna make it into a sword
One man's trash, another man's treasure

@intothelight - Thank you for your post. It really touched me in a spot where I needed to be reminded of what is really important in life - that we have another day, another chance... To me chances equal hope and possibilities, so for that I am grateful as well.

Today and many days, I'm grateful for my mom's broker. He is the most wonderful man and has been indispensable in navigating the complexities of managing her life for her as she continues down the road deeper into Alzheimer's. I don't know how I'd get through all of this without his wisdom, knowledge and sense of humor. Oh, he makes me laugh and laugh. For that I am truly grateful. I'm laughing right now as we just got off the phone. :)

I'm so grateful that I was able to get out of my depression and live life in the moment. Not always, but enough to stop waiting for a particular thing to happen before I live life.

Today I am grateful that I am up and about, taking care of some business matters as I don't feel too swift. That I was able to push through my fear yesterday and call my insurance company and will again today to fight through some contractual bologna. I am also grateful that I am starting to accept and not fight this constant struggle in my mind, and that I know I don't ever have to fight this battle alone - that I have God, always.
