What Are You Grateful For Today?

Today, I am grateful that I am still working on pursuing truths for myself - seeking acceptance of those truths and trying to apply them to my life so that at least I am true to myself. Being okay with where I am in this process and grateful for patience all the way around. I’m thankful for the strength and will to do so, and for the helping hand that makes it all possible.

Grateful for all that is in the world that brings light to shine upon my journey and those of others.
 
I’m grateful to have had the opportunity of another day, to have made good use of it in practical and healing terms, to have connected with a friend I haven't talked to in ages, to have taken care of business for my mother and for myself, and to have allowed me to be "me" and be okay with that. So, all in all, I'm thankful to have practiced mindfulness, self care, self management, and self control.

I'm grateful for being able to allow myself space outside of my box to wonder and to plan, and to hope and dream a little about what life could be like.
 
Today, I am grateful that I was aware of and responded to body queuing and was able to step away from what I was working on and focus on self care measures until I calmed down. Thankful that I picked up children’s picture books to engage my mind and emotions instead of running to addiction during this time; that I was able to sit with myself although a bit distracted, but I’ll take it; that I allowed my mind to wander into creative mode once I’d crossed the threshold with the picture books; and, that I was able to transition and read the introduction to a book on mindfulness.

I got some disturbing news today and am still processing it, but I am grateful for my faith which allows me to accept where my mom is at in her journey without falling to pieces or jumping on a plane, or spinning out in some other way. I pray for strength, wisdom, and a loving, compassionate heart so that I can care for the both of us.
