Gratefulness

[Starrlight]

I am grateful that the scary feelings and my current situation will pass.

What are you grateful for?

[Daisy425]

this really hit close to home for me. Thank you so much for sharing. As my mom always reminds me “this too shall pass.”

I’m grateful for a safe place to live, and friends and family that love my unconditionally

[Starrlight in reply to Daisy425]

😀❤️

[Tara52 in reply to Starrlight]

I agree for friends who love us unconditionally. I have one.I don't know how many times I have told someone from a family member or friend even therapists about some abusive encounter I suffered and they coldly replied " I don't believe you". It is so hurtful. That's why if you have one good friend you can trust it truly is something to be thankful for.🙂

[Starrlight in reply to Tara52]

I’m Wowed at “I don’t believe you” that IS cold. I’m sorry you have experienced that.

I have a really great friend I’ve known her since Kindergarten and she has hurt me in the past but I’ve forgiven her and she is such a beautiful person. I am sure I have said something she didn’t like at least once too, I mean we all make mistakes like that. Bug I know she will be honest with me and will be there for me when I need her most.

I’m grateful that you know these scary feelings will pass

[Starrlight in reply to Sillysausage234]

That is so kind. Thank you. I’m feeling a bit better.

[Sillysausage234 in reply to Starrlight]

how’s that beautiful little caterpillar

[Starrlight in reply to Sillysausage234]

I really appreciate you, Silly. 🙃 How are you doing tonight?

[Sillysausage234 in reply to Starrlight]

I’m good thanks friend,I appreciate you too ,your posts always remind me how we’re winning the battle against depression 🌠

[Starrlight in reply to Sillysausage234]

Nice! You’re right. We really are winning! Wow I’m just thinking of how things were for me when I first found you all here… for quite a while was in a deep pit… things do get better all the time for people… never give up ❤️

[Hidden]

My family, my animals, and my new Tv remote control that has huge buttons I can actually see😀

[Starrlight in reply to Hidden]

Nice!

[Celinesnana]

I’m grateful for a more peaceful day where I actually made it out of the house - to the grocery store and cooked dinner for my family. ❤️

[Starrlight in reply to Celinesnana]

Good job!

[Hidden in reply to Celinesnana]

I agree, the days I can accomplish that are a win-win for me and my family👍

[SayNOtoPanic in reply to Celinesnana]

Hallelu 🙏🏻

[Celinesnana]

they shall pass- they always do. 🙏🏼

[Vasiliki99]

that im not in rampant pain although not happy not in pain so much ....dont know ,,,evryone wants u to know but u dont know no one knows all unconscious im not convinced by human race but im grateful not to be in more pain than i am not in hospital not in hell not being trafficked farmed tested on organs damaged in a bombing holocaust storm flood displaced a boat sinking or chased or kidnapped at gun point by rebels or witness violence

[Starrlight in reply to Vasiliki99]

sometimes it helps to think it all could be worse, doesn’t it?

[Vasiliki99 in reply to Starrlight]

Sometimes gratitude helps and finite appreciation things r changing all time

[Vasiliki99 in reply to Vasiliki99]

I'm not happy till Digimass dies , all beings live in hell animals n humans best if it was all cancelled but God won't touch this disgusting world too much sin. Or god just can't cause we make money n power badly I suppose. I believe humans would feel better hit by meteorite asteroids because there is no hope no way it's only cruel the mind itself is a trick the emotions are hungry I'm just a hungry ghost everything act there's nothing real about me n that's just to operate in this gravity on this earth so sad. Poor plants who will even leave a tree who pass the Valleys of the shadow of death who will puce in the afterlife. Who will get anything understood....

[Kelkel00]

I’m grateful for a husband who tries to be understanding during these times I am struggling. I am also grateful he has a job that provides me the medical resources to get the help I need!

[Starrlight in reply to Kelkel00]

Good

[Nothing_but_books]

I am grateful I had the notion to go to my husband's house and clean up a bit for him while he was at work. I found him collapsed in bed. He hadn't eaten all day. His reaction to chemo is getting worse.

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((NBP)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

[Starrlight in reply to Nothing_but_books]

How are you holding up?

[Nothing_but_books in reply to Starrlight]

Achy after a long day. How about you?

[Starrlight in reply to Nothing_but_books]

Me too. My mind has messed with me lots so I’m just trying to distract myself. Watching a movie called CAKE with Jennifer Aneston about a woman who has so much pain, something about the movie comforts me.

[Nothing_but_books in reply to Starrlight]

I'm doing the same thing. Watching The Americanization of Emily for the hundredth time.

[Starrlight in reply to Nothing_but_books]

What is that movie about?

[Nothing_but_books in reply to Starrlight]

It's about a U.S. soldier in London during WWII. He is a "dog robber", meaning it's his job to keep his admiral well fed and "well loved". It's partly a love story. He falls for a young Englishwoman who lost family in the war, partly commentary on war. Written by Paddy Chayefsky -- look him up. One of the greatest screenwriters ever.

[EndUser13]

Good luck Starrlight, I hope by the time I've written this all scary things are a distant memory

I am grateful for having trained a good sense of character judgement, the handful of exceptional people I have in my life and being relatively healthy

[Starrlight in reply to EndUser13]

I so appreciate you EndUser! I get scared off and on. Doing better overall. Those are great things to be grateful for; very nice! Enjoy your night!

[EndUser13 in reply to Starrlight]

I appreciate you too! Be well... be weller even

[Starrlight in reply to EndUser13]

I love that! Weller☺️

[SayNOtoPanic]

Grateful! For blessings and for understanding.

[Starrlight in reply to SayNOtoPanic]

Nice SayNOtoPanic

[Oaks6]

I’m grateful that God is never sleeping and watches over me night and day, plus I have so many friends who care about me.

[Starrlight in reply to Oaks6]

Nice Oaks6 I’m grateful for God watching too.

[TailWags]

I was kind of negative about the whole gratefulness thing. But after reading your post and replies, i can honestly say I am grateful my parents were financially responsible enough to raise 6 kids on a single income and still save enough money to have more options to take care of mom.

[Starrlight in reply to TailWags]

I’m happy for you, that’s great!

[Dolphin14]

I'm grateful to be going out to breakfast with my youngest daughter today

Bring on the breakfast food 🥓🍳🥞🥯 and raise that cholesterol

❤️🐬

[Starrlight in reply to Dolphin14]

yaaay! Have a blast

[Dolphin14 in reply to Starrlight]

Food great, visit great

Nasty weather day time to open a book.

[Starrlight in reply to Dolphin14]

Me too. Going to attempt to concentrate on The Body Keeps The Score on trauma

[Dolphin14 in reply to Starrlight]

Loved it!!!

[Starrlight in reply to Dolphin14]

Oh that’s right you’ve read it! Awesome. Did a bunch of old stuff bubble up for you when you read it? Was it uplifting and hopeful I hope?

[Dolphin14 in reply to Starrlight]

It was extremely educational. The way the body and mind respond to trauma is fascinating to me.

It didn't being anything new up for me because I've done the hard digging work already. I learned so much from it.

Take it slow

[Starrlight in reply to Dolphin14]

I will take it slow , good advice ☺️

[punkster]

I am grateful for my husband, my wonderful sons and daughter-in-law who provide support for me. I am grateful for a place to live, food to eat, a job that I love and a car to get me to that job. I am grateful for my two dogs. I am grateful for music. I am grateful that I can see professionals that can help me with my anxiety. I am grateful for being on the other side of one of life's storms.

[Starrlight in reply to punkster]

Punkster very nice, inspiring

[Jjewelmania]

I’m grateful for things I can’t control, like how the weather outside is. And my own reactions to people can vary in themselves which is good. I can be my own buffer too.

[Starrlight in reply to Jjewelmania]

Jjewelmania this is great I am also grateful for things I can’t control. I appreciate you and your positivity.

[Babe1213]

Dare I say that I am grateful for the times I do get the scary feelings. I believe when we experience good things we should rejoice in them - in a similar way, when we get the bad scary stuff, we should 'LEARN FROM IT', in that way we build our character, we become stronger and we learn how to cope and be better equipped.

I am grateful to all you lovely people who have taken time and trouble to respond and show how much you care. Thank you x

[Starrlight in reply to Babe1213]

Brave you! Cheers to becoming stronger!

[MaggieSylvie]

I am grateful that I have my laptop; at least I can lose myself in it, reading your posts, window shopping at shops whose prices are in $, looking at the beautiful creativity there is nowadays in jewelery (who'd have thought about re-using a bicycle tyre inner to make necklaces?). When you don't have control of the TV control you learn to direct your attention somewhere else.

[Starrlight in reply to MaggieSylvie]

I hear ya! ☺️

[Kelkel00]

I am grateful for this uplifting thread!

[Starrlight in reply to Kelkel00]

yaaasaay!

[Agora1]

Starrlight, I am forever grateful for the day I had my "aha" moment and new

anxiety would be a thing of the past. Never stop believing, Never stop going forward

and most of all think in a positive way. Positivity will have the power to win xx
