Today I am grateful for .... (Part 2)

No worries, Candid.

Today I feel grateful that the country in which I'm living does not plan to kick under-earning foreign nationals (like myself) out because of a change in status, even though the country I am a national of is threatening this very action. (Sorry fellow posters, a bit political, but I am very grateful to this country which I've made my home, even if I'm not a national.)

the fact that I still have a sense of humour (even though sometimes its on holiday).

my friends IRL who gather round when I feel too sick to go out of the house, and bring things from the grocery store, and phone to see how I'm doing. Which is much appreciated since I live on my own.

Like this thread. Have wanted to do a regular gratitude practice regularly but need a friend to do it with to keep motivation going.
I am grateful for my support worker cooking food for me. The love of my cat. Owning a car.

Today I am grateful for getting a new laptop delivered, cuddles from my cat Sam, talking to a friend Sarah on messenger, having a hydrotherapy session in a nice pool not far from where I live.

Relying on old technology to view the eclipse (Lucky Charms box, tin foil, tape, and scissors) led me out of my apartment.  If I had stayed in and watched it on NASA, I would have missed the crescent-shaped sun dapples hiding under the trees.  One side of my shadow on the sidewalk was blurry, the other side crisp.  I met a boy who ran down from his porch to show me his special sunglasses.  I tried them on and I can't describe how beautiful it was not just to see the face of the eclipse, but to know that what I was looking at was this massive, churning ball of unkempt fire, previously completely taboo to view; and in front of it, the body of the moon I know so well.

I should have put it in this thread, but seem to have been too confused to do so.

1) That somebody invited me to share a hot meal
2) That one of my students cancelled
3) I miss my Little Furry Creatures but I'm grateful that somebody else is looking after them properly atm, because I wouldn't be doing so if they were here.
4) That this forum exists

This is my 9th wedding anniversary - legally married to another woman - never would have thought this could be possible when I was a young person.  Grateful, also, for sticking with my marriage through some very rough patches (mine, hers, ours).  Such great support I have in my work, my friendships, the community at large.  CPTSD hasn't derailed me from the ability to be myself and to continue growing.  Healing happens.

Jdog: "Healing happens."

Thanks for that reminder, and congratulations on your 9th anniversary.

Being loved by IRL people, people on this forum and even my puppies!

Remembering that love is best when shared - that's how it can grow!

Having a job - that's been a big one lately.

Rediscovering my patience. It had gone missing, but I found it.

Yay for puppies! Was just wondering today how your puppies are.

I am grateful today to be alive
I am grateful that I've found this place
And I am grateful that I can walk on two legs

I'm grateful that I can leave the house whenever I need the space, go wherever I want, be and do what I want without someone telling me what to do.
