I’m grateful for @TigerMatriarch and her 4 months! And through some serious challenges. You’re doing it!
And thank you, @I.cant.We.can

I’m grateful I got a bit of sleep last night and I woke up pain free, oh joy! I’m grateful I was able to follow through with my routines and plans and cook early early this morning. I’m grateful that @Its_me_Stella and others have helped me to learn to practice gratitude for pain and times of difficulty because they are opportunities to be grateful for good days and help us practice our coping skills. Gratitude practice is one way of coping in itself, and helps me so much. I’m grateful for making plans with my friend to go see bald eagles at the lock and dam on the Mississippi. I can’t believe I haven’t been yet this year but I’m grateful I live somewhere where I can see that beautiful bird, a short 10-15 drive away. Sometimes I see them fly over the house but not this year. I’m grateful she understands our boundaries about COVID precautions and is willing to do an outdoor activity to spend time together. I’m grateful for music and that I’m finally getting back into playing piano! It feels good to be taking action on things I’ve only talked about or “prepared” to do (aka procrastinated or just kept myself stuck) and I’m feeling this way in other areas of my life, too. I’m grateful my partner and I are starting to plan out our trips the rest of the year, including a cabin in the woods by a lake somewhere for our 15th wedding anniversary in May. Of course a trip to see my family. Then day trips or long weekends to see more of the area where we live that we haven’t had a chance to since we moved here 3 years ago this month. By the time we were ready to explore, pandemic arrived. I’m grateful we have had this time together and I’m also freaking so grateful we can start doing some of these things we have been talking about. More action.

I’m grateful we just talked about how this winter we have finally felt acclimated to the tundra we live in and have the proper gear and strategies to stay warm and still able to be outside. Today was no exception.

I’m grateful for my amigos here :heartpulse:

Good morning family.

Thank you Rosa for reminding me of gratitude… sometimes I get tired of being grateful for not feeling like this everyday when I have been feeling like this for weeks now.

I am grateful that I had a day without pain between flare-ups.
I am grateful that I have been involved in so many groups around chronic pain management.
I am grateful that I know my body very, very well.
I am grateful for a loving and supportive family.
I am grateful for empathetic friends.
I am grateful to know that it’s ok to be upset, that being upset doesn’t equal self pity.
I am grateful for the realization that I am still very good at putting on masks and this is something I need to look at.
I am grateful for the 12 steps and all the therapy work I have done as it is allowing me to look at myself, recognize when I do things and call myself out on my own bullshit.
I am grateful for quiet.

I love twinkle lights! So does Keely… she has them above her bed. I wrap mine around wreaths and plants, and I have them in the upstairs guest rooms. I put them all over the patio in the summer. They make me happy. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
