What Are You Grateful For Today?

[Justmehere]

Getting off this express bus and not having to sit next to Mr-nose-picker ANYMORE!!!

 

[Joeythething]

I am grateful for finding this site today, I am grateful for the people here, and grateful that my child loves me in spite of my failings!

On a more superficial level, I am grateful for mixed nuts, Triscuit crackers, and V8 juice. These are traditional Christmas snacks for me and for years I have either not been able to afford them or thought they were not worth buying because I was alone. But this year, they are both affordable and not pointless, because I can share them with someone.

Not in a war torn country
Not got a terminal disease
Not homeless
Not hungry

[One step at a time]

For making it here. For being surrounded by critters.
For the cold and the snow. For good sleep. For good food.
For honest work. For seeing more clearly.

For learning how to protect myself better
For how hard I'm working
That I've learned to embrace the pain rather than avoid or turn away from it - and that has made all the difference
For God's love
For my true friends and accountability partners
For everything being okay (despite everything)
For healing (slowly but surely - and sometimes so dramatically it's breathtaking)
For everything being better today than it was before

• For giggles that easily distract me and belly laughs that deeply heal me.
  
• For tears that help wash away the pains and the painful sobbing that reminds me just how much pain remains.
• For the anger that fuels my ongoing desire to treat myself better than my abusers ever did and the ability and means to follow through, most days.
• For the self-love that remains and didn't suffocate underneath all that toxic shit I immersed myself in for so long and for the folks who help remind me why I'm worth nurturing, instead.

All the amazing supportive people on this forum and for all those who care about me and are helping me...

I am grateful for chocolates from my boyfriend.

I am grateful to have a place to retreat at my parents' house.

The ability to change for the better in spite of the difficult choices that have to be made in my life.
The ability to see the truth for myself once I am centered,
The ability to choose my mood and push forwards.
The ability to choose the best choice for my recovery in spite of how I feel
