What Are You Grateful For Today?

I am grateful for growing and changing.

I am so grateful to my higher power for showing me all of these things that I do that are hurting me. I am grateful that I can catch myself and I am so grateful for the fact that good usually always comes out of the bad things.

Grateful to my therapist for pointing out my sister and dad judges me and my dad's darker side. I'm suppose to remember that when I get him in my head messing with my self esteem.

I'm grateful that the situation that happened to me last week, has been resolved. I had the feeling that I didn't need to do anything and to just trust the process.

This morning I received a phone call about what had happened and I was able to tell them how I was feeling. I believe this needed to happen and we are back on track.

It feels so much better and when I saw them later, we again shared so some growth and some healing and tomorrow is a new day.

I'm grateful that my lawn mower didn't start.

I am grateful mine did!!

OMG, I do not have to go to work today (pre-planned), i.e. V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N . I've been off since saturday but for some reason it just hasn't really sunk in to reality until this moment. And monday's shift is such a horribly difficult one. :wideeyed: For many years I took no holidays.

Wow, very grateful/ thankful. :notworthy:. And it's such a beautiful day. :)

I learned about hyperactivity recently & applied what I learned (though I didn't intend on applying anything) today when my sister got home from her holidays. Holy Moly :wideeyed: Stepping back (mentally being aware/ observing) we are like hurricanes converging. :wideeyed: I think we have been feeding off of each others' energy. I tried (instead) to practice 'new ways' (practice 'in the field' so to speak), & it's just wonderful! (For me as well!). I think I can help her in ways I didn't understand before (& help myself as well). I am so very very grateful. :notworthy: :cry: It's like the missing link that was bigger than the sun but somehow you don't think to notice it's there. -(? :confused: :wideeyed: !!)

Wow. I am so happy! :) :) :)

I know what's so incredibly-strange-unbelievably-happy, :wideeyed: , it's like I've got 'my'- 'a'- family back in a little way. :) :notworthy: I thought that saturday, & was in full-blown happy bawling :cry: . (Generally speaking I don't or can't cry/ feel too hollow/ sad to cry). :) But, understanding them helps a lot. And interacting in a new way today helped even more so. I am so very very very very lucky/ Blessed/ thankful. :notworthy:

I really really really can't believe it. :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :)

I've missed my family. :( :cry: And one sister's been terminal, afraid to go to her because of the other sister. Not now though. :)

Whew. :wideeyed: :joyful:

Thank you @Britt.f7 , for the 'like', I can't ever remember when last I felt so happy. Honest to God it's just-Idk the word (but it would be a great one). It reduces my stress so much. :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: I am so undeserving of it, really, but I am so unbelievably (almost unbearingly - ha- 'almost', hee) grateful & thankful of heart. :notworthy: :) :inlove:

Hugs to all, especially with the struggles. :hug:

I am grateful for all the people on this forum who are so here and do so much for each other.

@Britt.f7 self compassion is a thing I am learning about these last few days since @shell suggested it to me. This might be of interest.

http://self-compassion.org/the-three-elements-of-self-compassion-2/

There three elements of self compassion are interesting. I am thinking of organising a challenge around it. What do you think @Britt.f7? We could get all the old gang together from our old challenges and do something like that again? Those challenges were so good and I learnt so much about the people in the challenges - like I have seen you grown and change to an amazing level considering where you were when I first met you online. I have also similarly changed so much from all my hard work.

I am so grateful for so much. I am overwhelmed by how grateful I am.

i am grateful my dad pulled thru his operation. He had knee surgery and came out.... a bit unbalanced. wacky, belligerent. I only got the bare minimum of information, I am largely estranged from my family... but limited information makes the imagination fill in the blanks with worst case outcomes. I panicked a little. I did have a chance to re evaluate the usefulness of estrangement. The jury is still out on that one, but thanks dad for giving me pause. And sis, for showing me that over reactions run in the family.

I'm grateful to have such a good friend, who sent me a surprise gift just because.
I'm grateful, as always, for the support and advice I get on this forum.
