Hi @amber22

I am grateful for my kids and husband. They keep me going and give me something to look forward too.

Hey! @Snowie

Aw that is lovely. Your kids and your husband as just as lucky to have you as you are to have them.

I am most grateful today for my support system too. My family keep me going when times are tough and always keep me company when I feel the most alone. They also force me to do things when all I want to do is stay in bed (even though I know staying in bed won't help me some days!)

I hope you're having a good day today

What I am grateful for today… I would have to say a very understanding boss

Re: MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH: Australia, Let's Talk (October 2023)

I am grateful I have a pretty good network around me, sure I’m still apprehensive about turning to them in a time of need, but I’m just glad I’ve got support systems around me

I’m grateful to be living in location which has caring community feeling. People greet each other and have neighbours who happily help each other. Dont feel quite so alone now
