Today I am grateful for human emotion and compassion. For the first time , ever, that i know of or seen, for the first time ever today someone cried for me. My new support worker shed tears as I talked about things with me. As I teared up myself as a natural reaction when bringing up difficult past issues, the support worker shed actual tears for me whilst listening to Me… This is a life first for me. Experiencing external human emotions this way… Not even my own mother or father shed a compassionate tear for me that I seen in my life… So today I am grateful for the experience of human compassion :heart:

I am grateful for the dream I had last night where I decided to drink to get through an event I was committed to and the subsequent events that followed including losing my.phone, all of my money and and a robbery. I appreciate the reminder of the dire circumstances that will most certainly follow for me if I were to take that drink.
