What Are You Thankful For?

[lifeguard17]

I'm thankful my term is over. I'm thankful my mum realised my need to know what's happening in the next few days, and took the time to email me all the plans, and where things may change. I feel prepared, and able to do it now!

I'm also thankful for a website a friend recommended, that tracks your daily feelings on a graph. I'm able to see where I'm doing well and where I need help, it gives me some distance and he's able to help me without me having to ask. I'm so thankful for my new friend who understands what I'm going through and is willing to help me!

I'm thankful for a descent conversation with my mom, yesterday. I was calm enough to just listen and try to encourage.

She returned my message from the day before. We hadn't spoken for several months (maybe 3) and I was afraid that I would blow up at her for not calling.

It hurts that she never calls, but all she does is babble on about her problems anyway. She does not, for any reason, want to hear about my life. Never has and never will.

It's difficult to be in a place where you fear and miss someone all at the same time.

But, I'm still thankful for that short descent conversation!!!

I am thankful for the expertise of the veterinary surgeons who are trying to heal Max.

Oh and very thankful for the pet insurance which is paying the vets direct, I cannot afford a £1000 plus vet bill.

I am thankful for facebook. My two oldest sons are both back in contact with me after 5 years. It is very nice. The world is a better place for me because of it.

I am thankful to have my dogs. Max must be in pain but I disassociated and he came and stared at me to get attention and then licked my hand. When eventually I looked at him he wagged his tail. I am crying at that thought.

I'm thankful for such wise and wonderful friends here! I really am grateful! :)

Wifeof posted a lovely post yesterday, I was so grateful for all the help she and the rest of you gave me to help me avert a child-like meltdown over what to do about my mother at the last moment I hitchhiked on to her threat. I still don't know if I did something wrong but I'm hoping people will understand, I hope anyway.

I thankful that my husband got his job back this year after being out after over 3 months and is so into this Christmas (while I am struggling) that he brought home a bag a silly dog toys, something he is usually too exhausted to participate in. He is soooo psyched this year! :inlove:

...and finally I'm thankful for all those that work so hard to make this forum work, to give me a place to come to when I feel like I want to rip my skin off, scream until my throat is raw, duct tape my husband to the ceiling, launch spuds at my neighbors, or just jump in my car and never look back. In other words a place to help me find some balance and answers so I can keep moving forward in my recovering or at least breathing long enough to hold on until the storm passes. It's a massively HUGE deal in my life and I image in the lives of others.

I am just thankful that I am alive. For today, that has to be enough.
