Gratitude posts

Hi everybody, I thought having a topic where we can post what we are grateful for might help. I used to have a site where I posted to daily which then sent me a summary email weekly of things I was grateful for but have had some problems with this recently so felt this might be a good replacement.

Here's my three things to be grateful for today:

A loving family,
A part-time job,
This forum.

Thank you @utopia and @Shaz51 🌹 It has been a difficult few years and am so grateful that I may be embarking on a positive change. Won't get my hopes up too high but am grateful that there is at least the opportunity. Hope all is going well for both of you ❤

Hi @MoonGal

@Former-Member & @Shaz51

I am grateful for the ability to look at wonderful art on the internet. (Never thought I'd say that!)

Think I am going to include it as part of a daily routine.

It has been calming, involves another part of the brain than is typical for me .. but also keeps my mind alive with connections and cultural links. I know that seems paradoxical ... but its true .. somehow ??

I found a new app called dbt000.
I assume it's related to DBT therapy.
I've found it really helpful today to just accept my waivering mood.
I started out great, I felt a real up begin last night, to drop out somewhat this afternoon. I couldn't understand why. 😳😢
So acceptance for what I can't change.

I'm grateful my son is keeping cool at the local pool.
I'm grateful my son is spending time with his mates.

I'm grateful for the laughs we had.

Re: Gratitude posts

Saw this post awhile ago, which prompted me to think about the things I'm grateful for, thought about putting these up and didn't. I felt, it sounded silly, because there a a lot of little things, everyday things I'm grateful for. But then I thought, isn't it the culmination of lots of little things that create happiness? So, here it goes:

I'm grateful

- when I wake up after a good night's sleep without waking up during the night
- to see the washing on the line first thing in the morning
- when I can motivate myself to work in my garden
- when I can pick veggies from my garden
- this sounds crazy, when I see my salad on the chopping board

- for the days I went away with my friend for a short holiday
- and this is a biggy, that I have my voice back ... after half a year of struggling with resonance, it's back! Both my singing coach and I were in tears of emotion today.

Indeed, a alot to be grateful for

I can relate to food and vocal gratitude. @Ffm48

I like to see a few vegies assembled on bench as I decide wots for dinner.

Have had a frog in my throat for a while .. maybe should cut down on dairy

.. all in the right balance

Re: Gratitude posts

Today I am grateful that
* Centrelink will put money in my account on Thursday (empty purse)
* That my car made the huge return trip this weekend (& so did I)
* That I can choose which threads I post to on this forum - & that no matter how much zoe7 - wishes it different - I will not be a regular on her Everything Sports thread - lol.
