I am so grateful for forum friends who accept me as I am and for real life friends who accept me as I am.
I am so grateful for coping better than I did before I learned how to make myself feel better in time.

I think I may have missed a day, but I am thankful today to God, as always. I am also thankful, in practical terms, that I found my billfold and that I got up and went to a job even though I was horribly depressed. I'll try it again tomorrow. I thank God for the will and ability to do so. Blessings. VB

Rural living, city life is nothing but a memory, and I LIKE IT THAT WAY!!!

I'm grateful that I am now more aware of the destructive beliefs forged through CPTSD running non-stop in the background of my mind that then impact my thinking and behavior. I can now, with a great deal of effort, try to look for better ways to think and I can try to seek balance.

Also, it's been a very rough week at a new temp job with yesterday being the worst. I called my agency each day with what had transpired that day, I asked to be removed on Thursday and yesterday asked when I could be released. After what happened after the call, I have decided that I will go to my agency on Monday and turn in the office key as what was said to me was beyond the pale. The entire week was an exercise in my trying to "endure" someone else's lack of boundaries, unprofessionalism and plain sadistic behavior. I won't live that way anymore, nor will I allow someone to abuse me. The gratitude in this is that I am choosing to believe in myself and act on my own behalf - this is rare and rather new. I am not damning myself, I am holding the abuser (the boss) accountable, and I am taking action. This week's stressfulness has drawn me closer in to God as it is His grace that walked me through this horrible mess and will walk me through my life, including until I can get another job as I am still in financial jeopardy. Leaning in and breathing my faith is refreshing, it's been a while since I've felt this connected to God and I pray to Jesus that this will be enduring.

Today, I am very grateful indeed to be in possession of my own mind and my own life. If only for today, I am grateful to be alive and to believe that there is a reason for my being here, to be able to accept what is going on in this life without trying to understand it all, and to truly believe that I am worthy and loved by my Father.

I am so grateful to my friends and neighbors who went out and bought certain foods for me since I first had food poisioning since Thursday nigjht. and finally today I am just starting to feel a little better. I am so graeful for the peer conversation on the phone today who told me what I could be doing on a very bland diet to get me to feeling healed.

Sorry to read about your food poisoning Gizmo, hope you are feeling better now.

I had a twenty four hour thing recently, don't know what it was, but it knocked me off my feet, and really slowed me down?

I was grateful to see that the swallows are still here, I was beginning to think they had left. I spent ages scanning the sky, and was just about to give up, and go inside, when I saw a small flock of them darting about in the sky, the way they do.
