I know the only way for me to push my fears away sometimes is to get into gratitude. So I'm gonna start it.....then lets hear what ya'll are grateful for today.

I'm grateful for:

My computer and PsychCentral, the only thing that keeps me grounded sometimes.

The birds chirping outside my window and cool breeze floating in my door.

My coffee pot, without it my day would never get started.

The dirty dishes in my sink because it means I've had food to cook.

My cat and his unconditional love.

The roof over my head.

My neurologist for helping me feel better.

My grandma for being who she is.

My friends here and in life who won't let me fall, no matter how hard I try.

And most of all, I'm grateful for my life today.

"Gratitude is a positive emotion which involves a feeling of emotional indebtedness towards another person, often accompanied by a desire to thank them or reciprocate a favour.

. . .Research has also suggested that feelings of gratitude may be beneficial to subjective emotional well-being."

The bottom of my heart is leaning toward my T and my husband :-)
