What Are You Grateful For Today?

[Deleted member 12723]

I am grateful for having a brain that works. I am grateful to be feeling my feelings which now help to motivate me into right actions. I am grateful for electricity and music and good food. I am grateful for sleep. I am grateful for the sunny and warm days still around in spite of the fact that is now fall.

 

[Tornadic Thoughts]

For having a chance to fully experience both sides of the proverbial healing coin.

First, by trying to straight-up poison and divide myself into a state of so-called improved health via all the highly suggested and insurance approved mainstream methods (which obviously isn't doable for me based on my ongoing direct experiences and my particular biology), all the while totally ignoring the effects my choices were having on so many other living things and my long-term health.

Then...by finally and quite desperately lucking into the various experiences of all the "alternative" ( often a.k.a. ancient and already proven effective) things I was taught to actively avoid for much of my life, many of which were made accessible to learn via free methods. What a long strange trip, indeed.

The fun part has been seeing how my chances to heal start over each and every day and actively seeing how I can totally control so much of my wellness via my fork and other consumption choices/habits. I never imagined it to be possible prior to actually experiencing it, and still find I question myself even after the relief has long set in. Mental conditioning is a hard thing to shake...but I found it very necessary. May we all be able to shake the shit that keeps us tethered to so many different flavors of extreme discomfort.

I am grateful to be retired. When I push myself too hard, and start paying physical am emotional consequences, I can rest for days without a Dr's note to not go to work.
I am grateful I have enough food to eat for a change.
I am grateful that I was doing gratitude before I ever came here to myPTSD.
I am grateful for my friends here.

She said the cards come to life in the hearts of people.

I like that! :)

Grateful to find 5 metric screws (about 1/4 " ) my sister accidentally dropped in a 12x4 foot area covered in river stone and leaves. Now there's one for all-the-one-eyed-operating-on-3-hours-of-sleep-girls-out-there lol :tup::O_o::laugh: . And St. Anthony. :):inlove::notworthy:

For a Thanksgiving late-night dinner of turkey :hungry: , which we weren't going to have or have anything, which was ok, (am alone and working anyway), but it was less than 2$/ kilogram- hamburger is ~ 5-6$/ kg. Very lucky. And no problems with guests/ heavy drinking, though they did. :tup::):notworthy::inlove:

For letting my scattered head work to my help when someone I knew and was avoiding texts of (my fault :( ) picked me up yesterday. And come to think of it, maybe not accidentally because drove by same place/ same time as I was before. I only say that because I had avoided texts and then one said 'running late I'm on the way!' and I responded thinking it was to the wrong person, and I was busy at work. But I didn't let his panic make me feel 'more' anxious than I already was, this time. So I am grateful I could think a wee-bit healthier or with more faith or grounded-ness at-that-moment. :tup::notworthy:

Prednisone, Dexamethizone, Fluticazone, Albuterol, Pseudoephedrine HCl, Ibuprofen, Tylenol, Bactrim, Keflex, Azythromycin, Fluconizole, Clindamycin, & Ondenestron >>> ALA my cold medicine. Spelling may be a bit wobbly, as I've just dumped them into rainbow skittle looking dosing handfuls, and am not getting up to double check the bottles. Yay meds. Happy happy die germs die, and breathe you stupid motherf*cker meds.

I'm calling it a cold, because it started off as a cold, and it's pretensions of grandeur can kiss my ass.

So damn grateful for these meds, though, truly.
