Gratefulness - what are you grateful for?

Today, that all my troubles are not worse. That I am less suicidal. That when I reached out to a friend here she was supportive and comforting.

And my babies; always my babies. They are 9, 12 , and 25 yet they will always be my babies.

We made flower necklaces a few days ago and as you can see my youngest’s stuffed dog got to wear one too.

Grateful to be reconnected on Twitter and the Parkinson's community; grateful for my church family, my soul sister's; grateful for my adult sons; grateful for my friends; grateful for the beautiful day, blue skies, sunshine, warm temperatures! Grateful for each person here within this community.

Glad you are doing better, sister. And glad you reached out when you weren't. I find the rituals and responsibilities of my family prompt me to do things that are good for me, that my own depression doesn't want me to do.

Thanks my friend! Defidently true. Wanting to care for and wanting to model for them makes a big difference in my life also.

Big hugs dear one. I'm grateful you are feeling better. 💗 I used to make flower chains when I was little too- just like yours, same flowers. Thanks for the sweet reminder.

That sounds so lovely! This brightens my day. I am glad that you are feeling less suicidal. I am thinking of you and hoping that the suicidal thoughts will pass completely in the future.

That makes me happy.

I agree that no matter how old our kids really they will always be our babies. You make lots of wonderful memories with yours.

You are a fabulous mom

Happy Friday Googoodollsfan! What will you do this weekend? I think I’ll 🤔 go to a beach like lake and a skate park with my sons.

in reply to Starrlight

I'm applying for a couple of part time jobs. I don't have a car, but I might walk to a local park.

I’m having a hard time getting out of my car at the park. Seems everyone is looking at me. I just sit in the car instead now. I feel safer in the car.

I know that feeling when social anxiety is making it seem eyes are on me and it’s safer away from other people. The negative things going through our brain at this time when we panic are not true. We are okay. It’s the anxiety talking. We have to try to remember that and do what we need to do despite the in comfortable feelings. We will get better this way.

They stare. They think I’m hideous, assume I’m alone because I’m worthless, assume I’m low intelligence. I can see the sky through my sunroof
