Gratitude post
1. I am grateful today for the beautiful warm weather - even though that damn wind is still cold!
2. I am grateful today for the moments I had with my son at the park. As the sun was lowering in the sky, the light was beautiful, and backlit him and a little girl his age, running and laughing together. A moment of peace, of pleasure in the moment, in him
3. I am grateful that I was able to stand, walk, and even run and kick the ball around with him today, what with the hip bursitis, dysplasia and general pain. I enjoyed myself.
4. I am grateful for the older kids who let him play soccer with them, and gently kicked the ball to him a few times, and included him for a moment. That was kind of awesome.
5. I am grateful the little girl and her mom came to the park at the same time as us - it made it more enjoyable for the both of us!
6. I am grateful for my medical coverage. I got a bill for all of 16$ today for an orthodontia guard. And I might not even have to pay the 16$!
7. I am grateful to my husband for his understanding of my mental illness, and the difficulties I have. Today is the third day I have not gone to work in a row, and when I told him today I wasn't going in, there was just acceptance. I remember having such a feeling of relief. He's been a lot more understanding of my limitations, and it makes me feel more supported.
8. I am grateful that today I was (for a little while, anyway) able to accept my limitations in terms of my health, and not feel guilty (again, for a little while) that I wasn't doing more, or being more. SO tired of that emotion. But there was definitely some good moments in there. In that same vein, i was able to deal with my anxiety before Alexis and Alexavier got home, and address what I was feeling directly. There is peace to be had, if I can just bring myself to find it. And today I actually believe it.
