Today I am grateful for...

+ ALL of the people here on Daily Strength : )
+ Pete Walker's "Flashback Management Tips!
+ The delicious avocado I'm eating right now... YUM!

Ok I will give this a go...today I'm grateful that I'm still alive, I have a roof over my head, food in my tummy, I am warm and safe, my kids are okay, my dog is okay, I have a smoke and a drink, and some pot...I can pay my bills, I am in reasonable physical health, and though I struggle with the c-PTSD on the whole I manage ok....so yeh, lots to be thankful for!!! Trying hard to see the glass half full instead of half empty!!! Thanks for starting this thread, all the best Manda xx

Manda, while the optimist and the pessimist are arguing over whether the glass is half empty or half full, an opportunist, such as myself, sees a chance to snag a drink.

I am grateful to be such a pragmatist. It gets the job done.

Salud!

lol... oi! arfie... no helping yourself to unattended refreshments, rofl... : )

Grateful I made it through another semester teaching at my community college, working a full time job. Got another one coming, too. Time to rest up to be ready for it.

Today I am grateful for...

+ A loving husband who makes me laugh
+ A meaningful goal to pursue ~ going to Go Vap
+ The rain that fell last night... I sat up listening to it all night! At dawn all the birds in my garden were singing and splashing in the bird baths I've put in our trees... : )

Today I am grateful for

My not being as bad as it could have been
My fuzzy pink slippers keeping my feet warm
and everyday, my puppy Emma
Music

**my day not being as bad as it could have been, ug

I went to the pro football game even if it meant going alone and they

WON!

Yay!

It was fun.

Today I am grateful for...

+My drum kit... it has dragged my forlorn backside through so many dark moments...
+ A heart that is still beating... somewhat quietly of late.
+ Oatmeal... when nothing else appeals... a bowl of oatmeal is my goto food...

Today I am thankful for

My coffee, every day
Knowing what I needed mentally and physically today
I am in a good mood despite the med change
The sun starting its way back in the right direction giving us light
My warm pup on my feet
My very good friend able to have a relaxing time for herself

So far so good

lol... I missed yesterday BUT there IS a very good reason for that... it was hubby & mine's anniversary!!

So yesterday I was grateful for

+ His love and support
+ Not bopping him when I found the open-faced helmet he had bought himself in the garage... I intensely dislike open face helmets AND he knows it!! rofl
+ Him knowing that despite my INTENSE dislike for open-faced motorbike helmets that I will still love him while I am glaring at him, lmao, sigh

I'm grateful that even though I'm not having Christmas with family, where I had a burger in a bar for dinner tonight I had a warm conversation with a nice fellow who tended bar there. No drinking (I don't drink). The bar was the only place open for dinner here tonight. I kind of went in begrudgingly, not in the Christmas spirit. But I was wrong. Over my burger I had a good hearted conversation with the fellow and so I wasn't alone after all.

Today I am grateful for...

+ My friend Muji's wise words and compassion
+ My friend FreakChicks's courage
+ The book I'm currently reading "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Psychology"... if you can't beat them... maybe join them, lol

I am grateful for the friends and love I have found here!
