What Are You Grateful For Today?

[ldj]

I'm grateful for my family and friends.
I'm grateful for the roof over my head and a job that pays the bills and brings me fulfillment.
I'm grateful for the wonderful people on this forum who have taught me so much about PTSD.
I'm grateful for having met my sufferer, even though I've now lost him, and for the love and happy experiences we shared, and for what I've learnt about myself as a result.
I'm grateful that my woes are incredibly trivial compared with those of many others in this world and that I have my mental and physical health and the ability to wake each day with a positive heart and a willingness to make the most of this roller-coaster that is life.

I'm grateful that I've had a day where I've been engaged with others. I have both given and accepted kindness and caring without backlash. That's a good day for me and I'm thankful for it. It shows me that there is another way to experience life and it gives me hope.

Also thankful for all of the wonderful messages I've received through music today while taking time to enjoy something which speaks to my heart and my mind as one.

As the year draws to a close, I am also very grateful for still being here and to still be trying, and to still believe in myself and the power of Grace in my life.

I’m grateful that despite what is going on around me and in my life, I stopped and took stock of my racing thoughts and my pounding memories, and considered what was driving them and what they were trying to tell me. I went a round with the never, ever, forever lies as well. Just seems to have been a day full of angst, anxiety, stress, tension, exhaustion, and frustration. I’m thankful that I stepped up and wrote down, considered and analyzed what was spinning through my mind instead of shutting down and turning to self-destructive behavior.

Thankful that I had some Al-Anon literature at hand to read and take in. Will be reading some more tomorrow. Hoping that this is the year I start to move forward consistently in recovery again instead of slipping and sliding so much.
