what's 1 thing your grateful for?

what's 1 thing your grateful for?

this morning I woke up, after a much needed sleep, drawn to feeling such gratitude for social media and this forum to be able to connect with ppl "who get it"

it got me thinking that when living with mental health distrubances gratitude (positivity on any level) can sometimes feel very out of reach.

so i want to invite others to share one, or two or even three things they are grateful for - something's that;s made you smile

no pressure - keep it simple - might be the softness of your bed pillow, hearing the birds in the trees etc.... know one of mine later will be that delicious warm smooth creamy coffee 🙂

I am greatful for my amazing counsellor Nat. She has made herself available to me and probably all her clients in crisis. She understands my fear of talking to new people and hospitals and is working extra hard to keep me out of hospital.

This is great to hear 🙂

And thank you, same to you 🙂

I'm grateful for the money to buy food, which I haven't always had in the past.

Oh @Maggie yes, a warm bed is the best!

have been slack with this daily gratitude this week - choosing to not stop and take the time - getting up and out and ready for work without sometimes even taking a breath!

so am going to have a little summary for the last couple of days

_my doc who helped me calm down after 2hr long panic attack

_the ibis i saw sneeze - gosh it made me laugh

_my work - gives me a little structure in my day

_my body - for although i sometimes push it to the enth degree, it's not falling apart

_the beautiful full moon last night

The breeze tickling my face, sitting and being supported by a big shady tree

Local coffee shop letting me IOU when realised I'd left money at home

My freedom

This forum to share this stuff, sending out into the world, giving a sense of community, when real social interaction feels hard
