Gratituesday delayed

Gratituesday was born out of the idea that amid the chaos and craziness that ensues during the course of ending the A it is so important to recognize the GOOD, the IMPROVED, the BLESSINGS that exist in our lives despite our bad behavior no matter how small, or how insignificant it may seem.

YES!

Lolly, tears spilling out over this post. YOU my amazing woman, make me smile, inspire me, and remind me of the strength we each have in the face of incredible heart-ache.

While I am so sad to hear that you have had seizure activity, I am happy to hear that they got to the bottom of it, and sorted out your meds. That's something I AM GRATEFUL FOR. That you are feeling better.

Today, I am grateful for my dad. He has been visiting and fixing up all the things that I don't know how to. My parents live about 7 hours away, so it's just lovely to have him here taking care of the odd jobs for me.

I am grateful for a job so that I could get my son the braces he so desperately needed. My stbx wasn't provided with the same opportunity and to this day feels sad about his smile, and it was so emotional to see my stbx's face watching his son get his braces today.

I am grateful for the ability to forgive, to heal myself and to know that the only rescuing I need now is from my puppy who has hit adolescence.

Thank you Lolly for providing the space to reflect on our blessings.


Much Love,

TU.

Your absence has not gone unnoticed. I am so glad you checked in. The headaches? What a huge relief to have them under control.

Your growth has amazed me from the day I returned to this board full time. I've always been blown away by your insight and the beautiful way in which your words come together to present open and honest truths to every one of us. That is a gift, dearest Lolly. And you are a gift to all of us here.

Thank you for being you. I love you deeply.

Today I am grateful for an app I found which gives me daily bible verses. They are short but powerful and makes mesee how far away from God I have travelled. But I am on my way back:)

I've missed you and I'm so "grateful" that you checked in, not only here, but with your doctor. Atta, girl! Stress, a/k/a the Silent Killer, is a byproduct of having an A, ending an A, and the aftermath of one. Not one of us will escape the after effects of an A, so I am hoping your post is read by everyone who comes to this board.

I am "grateful" for doctors and good meds. ;-)

I am "grateful" that you are in a good place and we are now out of that God-Forsaken place.

You are rock'n it honey.

((Hugs))
