I am thankful for my children and uni for getting me out the house and keeping me sane.
And Im thankful that I live in a country where things aren't so bad.

I'm thankful for a friend who surprised me with a handwritten card and bar of chocolate yesterday. Late birthday present, she hasn't seen me since a week before my birthday, and yet remembered my birthday nearly two weeks later, I was so touched!

I'm thankful for this forum, although I'm still getting to grips with it all, reading other people stories reminds me I am not alone, that other people know how I feel.

I'm thankful for this beautiful weather we are getting lately.

I'm thankful I just heard that my city is going to clean up the Windermere Basin with all of the terrible pollution there. It was so sad seeing all of the dead fish there. The Windermere Basin is a run off of lake Ontario on the bay side.

That this forum is friendly and supportive. I joined another forum yesterday (not a PTSD one) and introduced myself and why I was there, this morning, 44 views and not one reply to even say Hi.

Family and friends. I am also thankful that I had a wake up call and should realistically look around at what I have and not be so caught up in the fear of yesterday and tomorrow. I need to live in the present, because each day is really a "present" of life.

I'm thankful that a relative of mine sent me a thank you for all of the genealogy documents I sent him yesterday. I was surprised I got one from him when he didn't thank me for the last info I sent him.

I'm thankful they built a new park on the beach strip and named it after Jimmy Lomax our city Santa Claus (Operation Santa Claus) whom recently died. Jimmy knew about the park but sadly didn't live long enough to see the grand opening of it recently.

Thankful for folks coming by to visit, today.

So, cleaned up my place a bit yesterday and this AM. Turns out, the cleaner apartment is nice for my self-esteem. :laugh:
Really trying to not have the "depressed messy" apartment, you know? But inevitably, can get a little rough around the edges.

:D

Anyway, thankful for having company today. Clean apartment, too.

I'm thankful I ran into a tidbit that really rang my bells, maybe it is not scientifically proven but it sure has been helpful to me: Gratitude cancels out fear - You can't be paralyzed by fear and feel thankful for something at the very same time, fear and gratitude cannot exist within the same breath.

I wonder what gets canceled out when we are able to appreciate beauty?

I'm thankful for being born..despite what happened after.For my three sons that I love so much, though I'm sorry I was not the best role model when it came to relationships. My beautiful grandchildren that I wish all the happiness in the world.

And for this forum for helping me when I needed help the most. :tup:
