Daily Gratitude List

Sooo…
Grateful that I find the strength to come back.
Grateful for some nice hot chocolate or two.
Grateful that I alone can change things in my life which is good as I don’t depend on others.

Grateful for being around here. Sorry, that I cannot give back much atm.

Found sth else: Lockdown, shitty weather but I got a whole apartment to paint.

Thank you. Actually, between being on my way and running away. Tough…

I somehow admire when saying that you wholly believe in god. Just god.no justification or explanation necessary. That’s wonderful :pray:

I’m grateful for discussions.
I remember discussing with a friend the idea of God and believing. I mentioned how when I was young, it was easy, you just believed, then I got older and started to question and wanted to know more. I mentioned that I wish I could have that “blind faith” and arrogantly said that I find the people that can do that, are in my opinion, less intelligent. Then he said wouldn’t it be nice to be like that, shouldn’t we be jealous of that, instead of basically looking down on them… kinda blew my mind and still does. I’m not sure where I’m going with any of this but yeah, I’m grateful to God.

I see what you did there :slightly_smiling_face:

I’m grateful I no longer feel the need to defend my faith in God. I was always worried what would I say if someone asks me. I now say I believe in the triune God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Or Jesus. I can’t explain it. I feel I don’t have too. It’s a nice feeling. Maybe I finally have the “blind faith” that I was always envious of. I know I have seen Gods work. I am kind of upset with some of these false Christian prophets out there these days. I feel it gives me a bad name when I say I’m a Christian. I probably shouldn’t worry about it though. But I still do because it pisses me off. Maybe it’s my angry political side coming out.

Have y’all seen the “what is a higher power thread?” Or something like that. I was hoping there be more discussion on it but I haven’t seen it around lately.

I’m grateful y’all are here. It’s nice to be able to chat openly and peacefully about this topic.

Don’t know if I’d call it theology.
Anyway.
There’s a few of them. But this one is most recent.
I’m grateful I love reading what everyone thinks.

Today I’m grateful:

  • for humor, laughter and silliness. My husband and I laugh together nearly every day, and it is gloriously cathartic. We were sharing memories last night before bed and I got the giggles so bad, Lupe thought it was play time and got riled up! It was so funny.
  • for my tendency to “nest.” I’ve always had an urge to craft my space for comfort, beauty and function, and when I’m stressed it can be incredibly comforting to spend time making my home “feel good.” It’s a healthy coping and self-soothing method that I’m relying on a lot these days.
  • for the kindness of strangers. Always heartwarming and rekindles my hopes for humanity.

Always grateful for my TS friends. :heartpulse:

I’m grateful I had my 2 meals yesterday and a smoothie in between them and no snacks or sweets or chocolate :grimacing::grimacing: or any other shit during the day.
Grateful I’m getting off the “It’s The Holidays,” I can pork out on all these treats and sweets mind set.
I’m grateful for @apes2020
April, whenever you check in you always bring a smile and brighten up my day. I never have any idea what your bringing to the group: building a fan. Buying a new scooter. Helping someone in need.

I’m grateful for the mild temperatures (cold by most of your standards!) and walks I’ve had the last few days - nice breaks from my work-at-home-desk. But I’m also grateful for snow and the changing seasons.

I’m grateful that I’m really enjoying some of the stuff I’m working on right now. Work’s not always enjoyable (I guess that’s why they call it work :wink: ) - so this is welcome.

I’m grateful for zoom yoga classes. Never thought I’d like them by zoom, but they’re adding more normalcy to life lived inside my walls!

I’m grateful that even in a global pandemic, the groceries are still stocked up at my local store and my shelves and frig are full of good things to make and eat.

M and D? You know it.

I’m grateful for my sobriety. I’m grateful for another day. :orange_heart:

Edit: @I.cant.We.can Yes - I’m sooo grateful for half and half! :laughing:

Makes sense! Pisses me off too. But I don’t think you should worry about it. We know who you are. I’m guessing the big guy has a pretty good idea who you are too. :wink:

You did the right thing! A quote from a powerful expert in the field of shame, Dr. Brene Brown:

As a shame researcher, I know that the very best thing to do in the midst of a shame attack is totally counterintuitive: Practice courage and reach out!
