I want to start a gratitude journal but am finding it a little hard to get started on paper. So I thought instead I'd start one here I can keep coming back to. Maybe work myself up to a paper version. I'm aiming to find three things per day.

Today I am grateful:
  • to have been able to watch the cormorant fishing in my dam
  • for the thrill and excitment of the midday storm - plus the beauty of the muted light and the fog
  • that my christmas tree is now up to give me little pockets of joy during the day and warm glowing lights at night. It makes my home so inviting.

He said that we can email as MUCH as we want (100 times per day). Believe in this - it is challenging fears about being punished. It is okay to be seen. You are not a nuisance. "Too much" simply means exploration, not punishment/withdrawal. Trust in him.

Not looking at him is about keeping aspects of self hidden/secret. We know that is not the healthy choice. Keep working on this - you will get there.

Accept there are parts. Be kind and gentle with them. Working with parts and feelings is the key to happiness. We have been happy before when listened to them and accepted them and were open to feelings. Write in your journal - it is safe to do so.
