What Are You Grateful For Today?

[Deleted member 12723]

I am so grateful to be alive. I cannot believe how much better everything is for me right now. Yet I am still holding my breath waiting for the other shoe to drop and more bad happens. I know this is a cognitive distortion in me. I am great full to be so happy right now and I am going to enjoy it while it lasts.

I've just returned from my two week stay with my long lost sister in Holland, and I'm really grateful for my stay.

It has boosted my moral and confidence a great deal, so much so, that today I made a start of clearing the house out, without feeling really bad about it.

My sister and her husband cleared out all my late wife's clothes, before they took me back to Holland with them, and today I made a start on boxing all the ornaments and stuff up, to store in the summer house, until I can find a new home for them all.

Then, I will do the same to the kitchen, as there is a lot of stuff I don't really need any more, I feel more confident and alive now, for which I'm grateful.

I am grateful that someone reminded me that sometimes we need to remember the happy tmes in or lives.

I'm grateful that we are dogsitting our friend's dog Gunner for the next week plus. He's a great therapy dog.

I am so grateful to be alive and to have good things happening in my life after all of the bad years. I am going to enjoy it to the fullest as long as it lasts.

Grateful that "gal from Gainesville" tipped me off with the evidence between glucose and willpower and decision making. She gave me the name of the guy from the university but so far I've only found cursory articles. I'll stick it in my diary if I can find the source material. "Decision fatigue"... basically and Lord knows we with PTSD have a lot of "decisions", eh? Everyday.

Yikes, I just realized I forgot to do my gratitude practice today. Probably because hubby is out of town and my schedule is all messed up. So here it is: I'm so grateful for my husband, our house, car, food, animals, friends, family, and I pray for those I know who need healing comfort, including myself.

I am grateful that the person who called and left a skip trace for my brother-in-law... wasn't calling to find me. Yeah... we pay our bills when they come due these days! Amen and thank you Jesus.

The last skip trace I got... they were looking for my ex husband. I called them back after doing a bit of net digging and told them exactly where he was and how to contact him. He stole/abused my credit with wife number two twice... 2002 and 2007.

This time, my mister got on the phone and handled his brother... "Pay your damn bills and don't ask mom for the money, you make $60 K a year you lazy bastard!" I was so proud.

I am grateful to have discovered how kind my neighbour is. While I was weeding in the garden this morning he climbed up on my wall and joined in without saying a word.
