Thank you for sharing this SpeckofDust. Very important point about zero judgment. I always find people on this thread to be accepting and non-judgmental. Many of us often share hugs and thanks for every post....a way of showing our support and acceptance. At least, that's how I think of it in my mind. No offering is too small or too big. I am glad to be part of this thread and really enjoy others' offerings. Peace to all.

Today I am grateful for

a guided meditation passed on by a kind PC pal.
another beautiful day.
getting the pets off to the kennel in preparation for tomorrow.
getting next season’s symphony schedule in the mail.
relaxing to the scent of lavender essential oil and episodes of Monk.

Today I am grateful (and this one is a bit more difficult as I'm having a rough end to the day) for

A work environment that (so far at least), fits in with my emotional and physical needs
Breathing exercises
Freshly (a repeat, I know - but I truly needed a prepared meal when I got home - even more so today than most)
Leftovers for lunch
The rational, problem-solving part of my brain that still works well enough to earn my pay checks

Today I am thankful for

A nice quiet day at home
Being able to do what I want to do, when I want to do it
Depression's grasp loosening - there is more light than darkness
Naps
The storms missing our area tonight

I am grateful for my cat.
And for my job and great coworker friends.
And for great music. And for coffee.
I am grateful that I am still here, even if sometimes I forget why.

a delicious breakfast of banana pancakes that the kids made for me
swimming laps in a chillingly cold pool to ease my back pain
another beautiful, sunny day
seeing the sunrise
sitting on the balcony in the black stillness of the night listening to the waves

- The C++ programming language. It is much more easier to write, in my opinion, than C.

- The Internet. It is a huge place with lots of wonders and pleasures.

- The fact that I can code. I'll increase my abilities everyday, I promise to myself.
