What Are You Grateful For Today?

I am grateful of having enough to share.
I am grateful for the sound of a friend's voice.
I am also grateful that each and every day I am doing just that bit more than I did the day before. I am growing and changing so much. I am much more here.
I am grateful for skilled managment of my disordered eating. I am doing SO much better with that!
 
Libraries and the endless learning and entertainment opportunities they provide, friends who share edible plant/herb starts/seeds, belly laughs with strangers, being able to lift and load all those bags of soil without any help, for a change, (knock on wood), for the goldfinch that flew alongside my car for quite a while today, and the black and blue swallowtail flutter by that hung out for a bit while I was digging and planting. I hear ya', universe, and I thank you.
 
I did it all today. I got up at 4am and put an ice pack on the back of my neck. I also had a cold shower to try to bring myself down a bit. Managed to just have high anxiety. No panic attacks.

I did half an hour Body Scan this morning.
I cooked this morning.
I got ready.
Volunteered at the school.
One student disconnected.
The other in a bad way - a suicide waiting to happen - but no usual red flags. Discussed it with my psychiatrist, and she agrees.
Swam 8 laps
Went to see friend but left it until we had to do stuff, as I didn't have energy to deal with her despair today. She was having a meltdown. I am so grateful not to be so over reactive.
Moved all the stuff Homeless organisation.
Drove to Brisbane. Went to Mindfulness Training.
Came back and not quite up for sleeping yet.
Spoke up after waiting many months to do it. About time.
Big day - I did well. I did really well.

Another a big day tomorrow.

Today was a personal best - haven't managed that much for awhile.
