1. Venison - my cave man came home with a 4 point so meat will go in the freezer.
2. 2, 6 pound bass which will be for supper and one to share.
3. Unexpected small gifts, 2 in two days - music and a dish towel from a church member who quietly told me 'thank you'.
4. I had my big girl pants on apparently yesterday and trouble shot our satellite box and dish and actually put a call in for a technician to arrive "all by myself" pleasantly and calmly (nice when that happens).
5. The ability to continue my 4th year of 29 gifts in 29 days to counter balance the regrets of familial dysfunctions during the holiday season. I'm about 6 weeks in to my most difficult time, and though I've had some blips and skitters... no sign of a down cycle or depression.

Well, today I am grateful for taking initiative yesterday... decided to create an online sale of my art to raise enough money to hire a personal trainer to help me stay accountable in my training because as of late I just am too mentally drained to try to come up with my own training plans and I really don't want to go it completely alone. So I recognized a need and followed through.

I am grateful I sold one of my better paintings so I will not only be able to afford said trainer but I made the decision to donate a percentage of the proceeds to this forum too and I'm grateful I can do that!

And I'm grateful for @Ronin and @The Albatross for keeping me balanced.. in thinking mode. For @lostforgottensoul and @Ragdoll Circus for their insight and wisdom surrounding my trauma and for making me not feel so alone. They have been enormously helpful. @Hope69 and @Ms Spock for all their encouragement and @C j for igloos, hot cocoa and Ozzie Osborne's Iron Man song.. @Lola Nocheprieta and @hodge for being my art sisters, encouragers and tender hearts.. There's so many more to list here that I haven't. But know I don't think any less. I appreciate and am grateful for everyone here.

I'm grateful for pointers, all sorts of pointers.

I just need to figure what to do with the whirlwind in my head. & One more person to cease contact on, given her son's behavior.
Need back my compartmentalizing hat for city life vs. everywhere else. -> Grateful for knowing needs instead of spacing out.
