What Are You Thankful For?

[bonnecanyon]

Today I am thankful that my daughter sent me a text message - I haven't heard from her in almost 2 months - I miss her terribly.

Today I am thankful for the hope and encouragement that I have received from the people on this forum. You have no idea what you mean to me!

Today I am thankful that I have a roof over my head and a job - even tho my job triggers me daily.

I am thankful for my beautiful son, Colton and the daily gift of love that he brings into my life. I don't know who I might be without him.

I am thankful for my friends, who are few, but highly valued.

I am thankful for my job (it constantly triggers me too Bonnecanyon)

And, no matter how hard it's been along the way, I am thankful for my life.

Um, thankfully I've managed to hang on to my sense of humour too & can now see the funny side of some pf my symptoms.

I'm also very thankful for my psychologist for listening, her support & my road to recovery.

What a lovely thread. I took some time to read the posts. Very cool that in the middle of this PTSD dreck noone misses the fact that our gifts are in our laps.

For myself, I wouldn't know where to begin. My lap is very, very full and for all of the gifts I'm thankful.

Thanks for the thread, Take Care,

Anni

I'm thankful for my loving boyfriend. I think he is truly trustworthy.

I'm thankful its sunny and cold here today and not raining. The rain in the Pacific Northwest is a real challenge for those of us with mental illness.

For days and days now, it's been sunny and dry. Thank you God.

She Cat. I have had the week from hell. Just when I think nothing matters and I'm at the end of the line I can find comfort in the following things...

I am thankful for

Birdsong- and activity of wildlife around me

Sunshine- warming my skin, reminding me that I am small in the grand scheme of things, refreshing and energising me.

Friends- Their unwavering support, love, their ability to listen without judgement, their willingness to hold my hand while I cry, their commitment to being there to support me in the middle of the night, middle of a supermarket, middle of town.

Love and those who offer to share it with me such as my boyfriend. Taking the risk of letting yourself love and be loved is something to cherish. I'm so lucky to have been through the life I have and still have the ability and capacity to love as well as have it reciprocated.
