that I heard from a good PC friend who is struggling and has been offline for a long time now. So grateful.

to honor those who have sacrificed so I can be free.

Tonight I am grateful

to have completed my chores
for help because it's been getting much harder to do things lately
for a nice walk outside
for a safe and peaceful home
for an appointment with my good doc tomorrow

relaxing at home after a busy day out

learning new things and trying new things that my daughter brings into my life

making it through a very rough night

I am grateful for

- Video game music. "And the fiercest foes rout, when they hear the triumph's shout." :nodgrin:

- Uplifting music.

- Friends here at Psych Central.

- My mind which is still functional after going through so much. Actually, it is "somewhat functional" but I still can do great things.

For what it's worth, I think your mind is very functional LC

Thanks for the compliment, Silver.

You're welcome LC. I always have compliments to offer. I think they make the world go round. Try complimenting a stranger today. Anything at all. Someone serving you at a store etc. Watch their energy change and face light up. It feels good.

Today I am grateful for

coffee
an opportunity to begin again
my animals
the worker at my local store who smiled and said "Hello Friend, how are you today?"
for the opportunity to help others

It does. I try to do the good I can do.

I am grateful for

- The Matrix trilogy.

- Programmers who write references for others to learn programming.

- The fact that I can still program as a hobby, even though I will never get a job as a programmer because of my choices during the time of admission.

- My belief I still can work as a theoretical physicist after getting a job as a scientist who has specialized in chemistry.

- The Elder Scrolls community.

Today I am grateful for

A red wine "flavor" that I can actually tolerate
My T!!!!!!!!!
My "stand up" desk at work (which is also helping with my stand up comedy routines) :P
A phone call from a friend
Kittens, kittens, and more kittens!

Yesterday I was extremely grateful for two of my sisters. One who took my daughter out for the afternoon to ibounce and another who took me to collect a wetsuit. I was also grateful for propranolol.

I am grateful for

- The Marvel Cinematic Universe. It really is a magical place if you can connect to it.

- I am beginning to appreciate the way things are, but my fight for a happy life is not over yet.

- Musical instruments, mainly piano, violin and guitars, which can create a melody.

- The internet.

Today I am grateful

to have gathered my courage to do something I needed to do
for an answer from the Universe I'd been seeking for many months
for the happy tweetering of birds outside
for daylight
for body, mind, and spirit....always taking care of me

I am also deeply grateful for guided meditations and videos on depression from folks who are wiser than me

Today I am grateful for

Stumbling upon a "bakery" shop that also has gelato - cherry limeade flavor!
My New Acupuncturist
The cab driver who just happened to be pulled to the side of the street, and was able to give me a ride back to work on a very hot day
My Camera that I just tuned up and got ready to use again
People who call/message you back in a timely manner and/or when they say they will

Just something I wanted to share on this thread: I told my T about it, and how I use it as an alternative to some form of gratitude journaling (because I do a ton of writing stuff in a notebook already). Also, how it is helpful to read other people's posts, and the fact that none of us are judgmental about what others write. (At least not in writing). Anyway, she though it was a fantastic outlet, and a positive way for folks to interact.

I am glad to hear someone else too uses this website as their journal, just like me.

I am grateful for

- The movie Spirited Away, which shows the value of the family you have got.

- The piano. It can create beautiful melodies.

- YouTube, because even though it may not be the best streaming website, there's a lot of quality-wise great content in it.

- My books.
