I am grateful for

[Leaf]

I am grateful for:

My bed, it’s a Beautyrest, the one with the pocketed coils, I got it with my lump sum payment from disability a few years back and it was a great investment. Having a comfy bed that supports your back is so important.

My family, without them I would have no reason to fight to get better. I live each and everyday just to spend time with my loved ones and to make their world a better place. It’s my purpose.

My doctors, I feel cared for and listened to. In the past I’ve had doctors that have just made things worse and I feel right now I’m receiving the best care possible. I don’t hide symptoms anymore and I don’t fear that I will be hospitalized if I’m honest about what I’m going through. I trust them.

The forum, I have a place where I’m not the weird one. I feel like I have friends and people who understand me. I love being able to help other people and love that there is always someone here to listen when I need to talk.

I hope today you have plenty to be grateful for. Won’t you join me in sharing your blessings?

You, because you make positive posts.

My husband. today is our 15th wedding anniversary, 16th together. I don’t know what I would do without him. He has Bipolar 2 and we complement each other very well.

My cats. One (Shmookitty) is in heaven and two are here with me now.

My pdoc. I have had some bad pdocs in my life. I’ve had my current one for 3 1/2 years and I hope I never lose her.

I am grateful for receiving disability payments. Because without it I would be homeless.

Physical health. I used to have this delusional fear that my heart was always on the verge of giving out, but it turns out that was just anxiety talking and my heart and other organs are perfectly fine. I had to find out the hard way via a mental hospital stay but oh well.

Accepting friends and family. They’re able to see past my illness to who I truly am. I couldn’t ask for better people in my life.

Medications. I’d be a complete wreck without them. I can’t imagine how people coped before meds were a thing.

Pets. I have two dachshunds, several cats, a tarantula, and a betta fish. They all bring me so much joy.

This forum. It’s nice to come to a place where I don’t so alone in what I’m going through.

People I digg and this forum to vent and blabber

A peaceful loving home

The best oranges I have ever eaten laying in a bowl at home and enough of them to last me a week of a daily orange.

My parents and The other woman who raised me aswell and I said I see her as a parent in a way because she did homework with me and gave me a place to live and a car to drive and was always there for me to turn to…
The last year and a half I have been writing blabbering emails to my biological mum and this woman and my mum was kind of thinking I should leave but not this woman she encountered me to stay despite feeling attacked and unwelcome by my mans friends and family etc

I am grateful for our food
Our health

I am able to make a awesome lasagne and other great things

My clothes and shoes and pension money

Email and communications

My car and license

Our shops and etc

Kindness to me and being better relationships with my family and keep improving

Believing in miracles and prayers I enjoy and will and my beliefs (I am not a member of any religion)

That I was able to dance in the advanced rock n roll class with a strong leader and that feeling when I finally got a new move.
I had a great dance partner but our saliva was not mixing well at all and he humiliated me but I forgive him and still like him and wish him well.
His a great dance partner anyway and I miss dancing but there is no partner dancing where I live.

My neigh and all we have overcome together and all the riding we have ever done and I hope to start riding her again

My ability to drive a difficult drive interstate with walki talki directing car in front and I broke down sobbing and had to take sleeping tablets so I would not go psychotic or have a total breakdown .

My citizenship and community I think

Being able to read although I have not read much and am a slow and possibly rather poor reader I am still rather able .

Apparently I am reading a children’s teen series now by Lauren Kate I have only read passion but will read the rest

I pray for all species and our food and flow etc

I am grateful I have been laughing again.

I lived alone for years sober n celibate n with out laughter for years and years but just yesterday I laughed several times ok by myself but it could be contributed that I am happy with my man even though we do not have the same humour.

Grateful for my laughter and that I have been laughing again n more lately.

Wow you are lucky to have so much to be thankful for

[ifeelblessed]

i am grateful to finally realize that things aren’t as bad as they often seem, to face my paranoia square on.

i am also grateful that i am not homeless.

i am grateful for the normalcy that is developing in my life; i.e. my job, my health, my family life.

I’m grateful that I am able to experience this weird thing called reality and meet other different people and lifeforms along the way, even if only for a limited time. There’s endless things to do on this planet and sometimes the monotony of life can make me forget that.

Time + space for quietness.

I’m grateful I’m clean and sober. If I had not gotten clean 28 years ago from smoking crack the chances are good that by now I’d either be in jail, or dead, or in some hospital permanently. I’m grateful that AA, CA, and NA worked for me.

My recovery. My supportive church. My neighbor. My dog (who is mellowing out finally).

I’m grateful for this you making this post, helping us all take time to reflect!

I’m grateful for my home, my family, my friends, my pets… meds, doctors, health, recovery… my creative drive, my ability to type this. Grateful for art and culture and education and community, and always grateful for little things, because finding small joys in the world makes life better!
