Hello Sunshine.... ☀️ I'm learning to be grateful for the troubles and problems I do have cos that's an opportunity to listen to my thoughts and feel how I feel so that I can understand the lies vs. my truth. What I am battling with is trying to figure out what those thoughts really mean. 💚☀️✌️

You know I know I say this all the time but, it's true. I am thankful for the good friends I have made here on H/U.

It's true my pain and isolation brought me here but, look what came out of it. I have maybe a dozen close friends here after a year. However, they are strong, fierce supporters of me and help me get through some bad days and nights.

I also met my sweetie here. So I am thankful for H/U period!

I am thankful for my family, for my health and for all of the things in life we take for granted. Grateful that I have the strength to fight this and the support around me. I know that this will pass and that will feel content in my mind and body again.

Starry Girl,

You are too much. And you called ME sunshine. No my darling, you're name suits you because you're a bit of an angel, and I'm sincerely grateful for that. :) Dangit I might have confused you with Magic and what you girls called me. *sigh* I can't remember jack lately!

Still WLA...AU

Oh yeah that’s a great one, Hope. I’m loving the cool crisp air and frost of the season but not for too long. Heating we sometimes take for granted.

Today I am thankful for privacy, quiet, and my own space. I don’t have that now as workers are almost constantly in the house banging and sawing. They say the job will take about three weeks and this is the end of week two. I have a feeling it will take longer than they estimated. It really gets my fight or flight or freeze feelings going ugh.

in reply toStarrlight

Oh man that’s something I struggle with too! Builders , plumbers in our safe place ! Arghh! Just get busy doing something such as writing or drawing or music or colouring or watching something to stay distracted x hope that helps

I'm thankful that I didn't shove a knitting needle into my left ear canal, through the drum, deep into the cochlea, piercing my auditory nerve like an ice pick rammed through a plump, freshly picked mushroom and parking itself deep inside my brain. It's the little things in life....
