The Gratitude Thread

[Luminous]

Modern medicine.

 

[Hermit of the Forest]

Beautiful experiences. Even if I can’t keep them.

 

[Lark]

I made it home without crashing my car earlier, was feeling sick and probably should not have been driving.

 

[Peter Deadpan]

I've been remembering more dreams lately. Some of them are unpleasant, but it's okay... I'm just glad to have access to that part of myself.

 

[Peter Deadpan]

Autumn is almost here.

Brace yourself it's still 2020...

[Hermit of the Forest]

For order. For the fall. For second and one thousandth chances.

 

[The Cat]

For being able to see the trap around the free bird seed. Meep. Meep.

 

[Peter Deadpan]

Tea and its warming properties.

 

[Luminous]

That I could have lost several people I care about in the last week, but I didn't.

 

[Luminous]

Clarity and sincere overwhelming kind gracious love.

 

[Coriolis]

The good fortune I have had that allows me to be doing relatively well when so many people around me are enduring significant hardship.

 

[Siúil a Rúin]

I am thankful for time. In a way my schedule is freer because I have half as many students, but am still eeking by financially. I want to make use of this time and really practice.

 

[Earl Grey]

I got to talk to and play with a cat today!!! It was so friendly. If I had brought my phone, I would've taken pictures.

 

[Mind Maverick]

My kitten cheering me up when I start getting a bit down.

 

[Hermit of the Forest]

For country roads after thunderstorms.

Same.

Everything is relative to comparison. I'm not being used for trafficking, or raped, etc. I'm not starving in Africa. I'm not jobless or at risk of losing either one of my jobs.

I also don't think what I've been going through feels all that bad, but especially now that I have a home.

 

[Mind Maverick]

The stupid amount of endurance I've gained through my experiences. Things that are upsetting to most...just don't seem to have the same affect on me. Much like exercise and fitness works, I think the pain has been worth the gain. Now if I can just stop being petty or overreacting in other areas, or basically just stop being neurotic whatsoever, that'd be fantastic. Is there a hardship for curing that? I'll take it.

 

[Lark]

I'm happy every single day I can ignore the trolls and first world problems.
