Gratitude posts

I am grateful that when I lose my mind it eventually comes back of it's own accord.

Having recently lost the damn thing I would have had no idea where to look.

It came back on it's own looking a little sheepish kinda like a loyal dog that jumps the fence and returns later with someones washing in it's mouth.

I am grateful for my mind. Though parts of it are damaged and only run on 3 out of 4 wheels, I am grateful that I can think and write and understand.

I can think outside of me. Of others and of lofty ideas, philosophies and practical concepts.

Though I am a victim of my mind and at it's mercy occcasionally, other times I can frame and imagine and use lanuage to draw the pictures I may view in my head.

So thank you mind you adaptable, troublesome, wounded, reckless and beautiful instrument of enlightenment!

What a great idea. Just starting my journey so today I am grateful for

the ability to read and write

internet access and my own computer

time to devote to wellbeing

the information available online and in books so you can help and empower yourself

this forum where you can exchange ideas anonymously yet safely

the example of people like you who are taking a creative approach

thank you!

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.

I am grateful that after waiting 6 months I have finally started receving counselling from Eastern CASA. The counsellor seems very thoughtful, considerate and down to earth. I feel confident I can work with her.

I am grateful I have a few very close friends who can hear the depths of my lived experience and still embrace me with love and grace.

Cheers, K
