What Are You Grateful For Today?

[Deleted member 12723]

I am grateful for anxiety meds to help me in the morning. I hate the morning anxiety. It makes me feel so weird. It colors my life in a bizarre way. I remember when I did not have this problem. I wish I could go back to those days. I loved it waking up and feeling happy to see the new day.

This may be a new one. :) I'm grateful for my lawyer. He is awesome at what he does.

Quick everyone, Zef, has a good lawyer ;).[DOUBLEPOST=1343749860][/DOUBLEPOST]I'm grateful I can use my food processor to cream sugar and butter when I bake - my shoulder isn't up to that anymore.

I am grateful to the medical community for my team of practitioners who help me in a balanced way. I appreciate the good help I am getting. I am so very grateful, I am not left alone with this stuff.

I am grateful that I have no anxiety today. I really am enjoying a break from it. The new routine is working out just fine. I feel so much better today. I will have to get up soon and do chores but it will be ok. I will get them all done at the same time. I like waking up naturally. Such a simple change makes such a big difference. I am most grateful.

I am grateful for:

• my husband and children
• my beautiful home
• the beautiful view of our pond
• the joy my children and their friends have in playing here
• my husband's job
• the change in my husband's job that has meant much less stress and only slightly less income
• this forum
• Anthony's mentorship
• All of my friends here who are so supportive, Thank You!
• my positive beliefs that attract such wonderful things into my life
• my children's school
• our family pets
• our community organizations and the people who volunteer to make them possible
• the way the universe brings just what I need to me, as soon as I am open to receive it
• My daughter's unrelenting, constant and sometimes overwhelming expression of her love for me and her appreciation for my parenting. Wow! She expresses these positives freely and exuberantly.
• My son's sense of humor, his sly smile to let me know he's teasing me, and his joy in teaching others.
• My husband's willingness to notice when I am completely overwhelmed and to quickly remove tasks until I am left with only what is absolutely necessary to accomplish; and doing so with a smile, saying "There. Feel better?" with open arms for his appreciative hug! :D I do appreciate him!
• my husband, who took over doing the laundry 15 years ago despite the fact that I stay home full time and he works full time.
• my husband, who teaches our children how to fix things, and that they are reliable, dependable and competent enough to figure out how to solve problems on their own.
• my husband's positive attitude, which was so powerful and ever present when we first met that I was almost moved to give up my skepticism even with untreated PTSD symptoms, blocked memories and continued emotional traumas on almost a daily basis. I can still look back on those days and remember his happy songs he sang to get me to smile, and his constantly varying fun stuff to do to bring me out of my comfort zone and bring me joy.
• For the 5 day "staycation" my husband and I took, alone, where we recaptured some of those old "pre-kid" feelings and planned out our vision for our homestead, our kids college fund, and his early retirement.

I'm grateful for my husband who listened took one look at the mounds of papers I had to shred and came home with a heavy duty shredder. He never fusses at me for managing to somehow be so hard on things and breaking them, he just problem solves and moves forward while I try to stop beating myself up.

I'm grateful for my son who call an hour after my husband left when I had not only managed run a coin through the new shredder but was in the middle of jamming the new heavy duty washing machine! He laughed and shared his own story of mechanical crisis this week, telling me that he loved my story and for me to try to stay away from electrical appliances today. :p

I'm grateful for the really important things in life. A roof over my head, clothes, food, warmth and knowing that someone loves me.

I also got a card in the post from my friends daughter, who is 21, saying this:
'I think very highly of you both and believe you are true treasures and Mum is also blessed to know you both. I am very thankful for everything you have done, not just for my 21st. It's not forgotten and I hope I can do the same for you.'

I don't remember doing much, just helping the family out once in a while (her Mum is disabled). I never thought about it, I just love her Mum and her so much.

I am grateful that today is a milestone for me. I layed 2 very traumatic memories to rest. I feel peace and contentment. I have the anger at my parents instead of the shame I felt. I have truth I did not have before.

I am grateful for friends old and new that are willing to be there for you and let you vent when needed.

I am grateful for Klonopin when times get really rough. They definitely take the tone down a little bit.

I am grateful for music that can take you from 60-0 in 3 minutes. Music is such a wonderful thing.

 

[Let It Be]

I am grateful that after all these years of living in this home, I am willing to sell it (as is) and to move on.

It was the home that the two of us moved to when I needed to leave the city where my parents lived.

With not having any family members that come here, it is time for me to take the steps to give the Deed to someone else.

Time I have spent with my daughter today. She is expecting her first baby which is 7 days overdue. Its been a good day, we went for lunch, relaxed & laughed together. It's the first time she hasn't talked to me about her Dad which always triggers nightmares, I'm hoping there wont be any tonight.
