Yes! Found this thread after looking for it a long time.

 

1. I am alive, and despite some quite rough times, I'm still here.

2. I am afraid, tired, scared, and a lot of other stuff, but I'm not done yet.

3. Petting a very cute cat. For a brief moment, I was all there, in the moment, and had no worries.

It's a wonderful cure for blood pressure and racing thoughts.

  1. A study path that I'm passionate about.

Amazing parents who gave me the childhood that they never had.

Our two dogs (and one cat who thinks she's a dog).

1) my garden and my yard.  a place I can plant things, bring life and just ooze love into.

2) friends that understand that sometimes having them over is too much for me to deal with and they do not judge me when I go off to another room to rest and be quiet.

3) my husband, who loves me more than I ever thought was possible

Hmmmm, let me try this out

 

1) I'm going to my new Crossfit box today! Moved to a new town last weekend and this will be my trial run, so they'll know how much to push me

2) Listened to the latest Crystal Method album while commuting to work. Coupled with my outfit, made me feel like a Shadowrunner

3) Easy day at the office, which allows me to browse NF and run into threads like this

1. It's raining :)

 

2. I am okay with giving myself a mid-week rest day, rather than feeling like a failure. 

 

3. I got the yoga pants I have been wanting for months, and they should be here Saturday :D

So, two weeks worth of gratitude, because I forgot to post here. Maybe this will brighten someones day.

Brace yourselves, here goes:

 

Spoilers for a reason, it's about 1.5 A4 page.

 

- I am grateful for vivid imagination.

 

- I am grateful for good medication for sore throat and fever, and that the fever is passing.

- I am grateful for the said meds+fever making me feel fluid. Letting my gaze wander

along invisible lines in the ceiling and walls, because it felt... natural. Fun times.

(38.2 Celcius, or 100.7 Fahrenheit.)

- I am grateful for finding several great quotes from two good books lately.

Though translated to Finnish, I don't have the originals yet.

 

-

- I am grateful for Tom Shear for the amazing, thoughtful and soothing music he produces.

(I don't know if I ever could get there, be like that in the song, without taken advantage on,

but it's beautiful. *watching thoughtfully out the window, while listening*)

 

 

-  I am grateful that I have working feet. The freedom to walk where I want, unassisted,

and without pain, is something I came to think about after I saw a person in a wheelchair.

It's so everyday to be able to walk, but thinking about how wonderful it is...

(Yay, forgot this then! Still something grateful.)

 

- I am grateful for clean water when thirsty.

- I am grateful that I got 2 pieces out of 5 done on an assignment that I banged my head on the wall with for 2 days. Sentence structure :rolleyes:

- I am grateful that I have a healthy libido. Enough said.

- I am grateful for printed NF comments, old HOoRAY entries and personal journal pages. I notice it's a different kind of darkness now.

I don't know if I am moving towards or away from light, but I am grateful that I am at least moving somewhere.

 

- Eating too much food and sleeping 3 hours straight :love_heart:

- Unlimited shower time, because the water is part of the rent. Almost scalding water warming up the nape of my neck and spinal cord :love_heart: !

 

- Just as I left sauna, I thought "Hrmpf, I have to clean this up!", my little brother came there,

so I didn't have to clean it up after all.

- The scent of moisturizing lotion after my mother left the room

 

- a bit of progress on the harder than usual task

 

- Not having the usual flurry of worries and chatter in my head feels good for a change.

- Got the harder than usual task done!

 

- I returned several assignments today, and got some additional work done.

- Naked flame soothes. As do water and forests. It is so calm to just watch a campfire.
Like meditation, in a way.

 

- I am grateful for the chance to unwind, though I am afraid that not taking work
with me to for the 5 days was a mistake, as it leads to more catching up to do later.

- A lesson about delaying gratification today

- My hand are getting rest from all the typing,
and they seem to be enjoying it.

- Unexcepted money because it is going to be my birthday soon
- I got 2-5 hours of sleep, and between that or none at all,
it really makes a difference

- I realized that I have access to internet via a library.
I was like "Damn. I knew this. Why haven't I thought of this before?"

 

 

I feel all fluffy now. The little sparks make up a flood of light in the end.
