Gratitude List. 5 things daily

My gratitude is fading, but it lives.

Another friend passed today.

I’m grateful he was there at my lowest,
I’m not grateful his wife didn’t tell me he was in intensive care
But. In retrospect, my friend was dying, I’m the last of her concerns
I’m going to miss my friend
:cry:

I have plenty to be grateful for, but today…
Today is a time of mourning

“”" I’m frustrated
Depressed
Angry
My friend passed and have not been eating
Just doing that, just water and coffee
Gained 5 lbs"“”

If i feel this bad, i know his whole family feels bad too

It’s not comforting because he would not put up with “THOSE OF US” carrying on
