Good morning,

I am grateful for a roof over my head, a bed to sleep in and food to eat.

I am grateful for caring people in my life who listen and do not judge.

I am grateful for good doctors who try and help me with depression and anxiety I developed following a breakdown years ago. Not always successful, but at least we are trying…..

I am grateful that after many, many years I am finally having that breakthrough people are always talking about that can follow a breakdown. I can see much better where I went wrong, and what precipitated it.

I am grateful for all those inspirational stories of people who overcame their mental health problems….they give me hope, which is so very important….

[Mrspjsmom]

Support from people who understand especially the people here.

I am grateful for a sunny day with a light breeze to sit and read a good book and be at ease.

The spring flowers in my garden that offer sustenance for chunky bumblebees and honey bees. And bring me joy with their bright colors. The wonder of nature right in my backyard!

To live in a comfortable home that is located right across the street from a working farm. And being fortunate enough to own a horse that is boarded there and enjoying my time with him and others, sharing our favorite pastime together. Riding through meadows and through trails; I thank God that I can still ride and my horse and I are aging gracefully together. 🐎❤️

I'm grateful for the connection made yesterday by eye contact and "Mona Lisa" smiles as I left Sainsbury's and an elderly lady in a headscarf entered. It lifted me. And I'm grateful for a peaceful household today - so far.

[RemySue]

My progress-it's nice to feel like my hard work on my mental health is paying off instead of just exhausting me. My grandkids are moving across the US from me and I haven't spiraled

[Tara52]

That I made it this far!😂

[Prius0831]

I feel better today than yesterday.

The title of this thread is very important. It always has been, but especially these days. Happiness is absolutely impossible in the absence of gratitude.

There are many millions of people today who are miserable, filled with resentment and blame all their misery on others. They have no gratitude for anything. They think, if only so-and-so would stop doing such-and-such, my own personal utopia would descend on me finally from on high, when the truth is if so-and-so did stop doing such-and-such, they would still be miserable and just find another target, probably many targets, for their blame.

They are on their way to Hell and in many ways are there already:

“Son," he said, "ye cannot in your present state understand eternity...That is what mortals misunderstand. They say of some temporal suffering, 'No future bliss can make up for it,' not knowing that Heaven, once attained, will work backwards and turn even that agony into a glory.

"And of some sinful pleasure they say 'Let me have but this and I'll take the consequences': little dreaming how damnation will spread back and back into their past and contaminate the pleasure of the sin. Both processes begin even before death. The good man's past begins to change so that his forgiven sins and remembered sorrows take on the quality of Heaven: the bad man's past already conforms to his badness and is filled only with dreariness. And that is why...the Blessed will say 'We have never lived anywhere except in Heaven', and the Lost, 'We were always in Hell.' And both will speak truly.”
