Electricity! And a place to live where I don't have to feel like I need an excuse to be.

I'm grateful for many things-this forum, my cats, et al. Most of all, I'm grateful I'm alive and here to help those who need me.

I'm grateful my disability funding has started, and there haven't been any problems, catches, government harassment or other falling shoes.

Monday - That God breathes endurance into my being each day. Not sure that I’m grateful for this, but I am accepting of it to a point. I’m grateful that my mind still works to some degree and that I am pushing myself to go out and post in the gratitude journal. It’s a good exercise to keep me focused and in the present.

Today - That I approach days where I feel challenged in some way or another on a sliding scale so that I can be kind to myself instead of beating myself up for not getting it “all” done and not doing so “perfectly.” Thankful for the coping and grounding mechanisms that I have learned here and elsewhere that, when applied, can sometimes bring a measure of relief and/or stability.

To @gizmo - Thank you for "liking" my post in the Complex forum. I've added this to my gratitude list as re-reading it reminded me of my capacity to heal and to be in a better space in my mind. It has provided me with encouragement, insights, and reminded me of what I already know but often push aside in lieu of letting fear drive my life. Tks! VB

These are almost exactly what I came to say.

I'm grateful for my resilience and my capacity for hope and change.
I'm grateful for physical safety, having the power to choose, and having good things to choose.
I'm grateful to be learning how to ground in my body and in the present.

^ oops, I meant to quote

Grateful that I have a very heart full of my many blessings, including opportunities for growth and change. Thankful that the light of hope, though mostly flickering, is stubborn in its determination to become steady and strong.

Thankful for the coping and grounding mechanisms that I have learned here and elsewhere that, when applied, can sometimes bring a measure of relief and/or stability.

These are very similar to what I wanted to say.
