I am grateful that I have The Secret Gratitude Journal as it also enourages positive visualization. When feeling down I fill in a few lines and it always grounds me and helps, like a reset button.

One page for current e.g. I am grateful I got an amazing photo framed in the post today of Bruce Lee and Anderson Silva, which I spent an hour or two editing.

One page for future e.g. I am grateful that my wife has her UK visa (been waiting 7 weeks).

Today I'm grateful for the support and encouragement of a lovely guy who has helped me discover a side of me that I didn't know existed - yes D1662 does have a heart!

I'm also grateful for the support I have received from the members of SAUK whilst I've been on my adventure, thank you all

^ So glad it went well

Today I'm thankful for the fact Travis, my brother's hamster didn't need to be put down! He has an infection which can be treated with anti-biotics!
My Auntie for taking me to the vets
My Mum for just generally being great
My friend Lewis for going to wetherspoons with me and making me smile
My Grandparents for supporting me with university
The bunch of people from school who I saw at wetherspoons and came over and chatted to me
My boyfriend for buying me a really thoughtful Xmas present. Today has been good!

Spending time with my nephews over Christmas. My eldest nephew who is at an age to understand Christmas now was very pleased with the Christmas present I gave him. He gave me a kiss and said "I love you Aunty 'Pink*Lady' (not typing my real name here).

...the fact that I woke up breathing!

There's been so much death reported in the media recently, pop stars/film stars dropping like flies and now within last couple of days a relative (a distant one who I didnt know well, but all the same sad) and one of my close friends has also just lost a close (young) relative.

I will try to be more grateful every day for the things that we take for granted :-)

I am grateful for my tenacity and patience because nothing else will get me through today.
I'm also grateful for glittery skirts and Adidas trainers.

What an absolute ledge.
My mum got this excellent deal at tesco today as well, she was doubly happy because she's obsessed with all things behind the scenes and 'making ofs' as well

Even though he has his own issues he's put up with my drama and issues for years now and he's the only person I've ever been close to who hasn't given up on me and walked away when times are tough, not even when I've tried to push him. He's been there for me recently during what have been the darkest hours of my life to date and I'd never have sought help without the push he gave me.

I love you, Emps.

Sorry for such a soppy post!
He sounds very awesome and probs real tall and handsome.

The people I work with.

This week I've had three gifts of food/cake and two hugs, all from different colleagues. No special occasion - this week is not even that unusual.

Reading some of the 'work' threads on this forum makes me realise how incredibly lucky I am.

@ Kooky Monster. Happy belated birthday. I hope it was a good one. I'm glad you could spend it with your much-loved cat.

@ Muggins. That is indeed a beautiful message. I know you've been having a tough time, but it's lovely to see that you have such a fantastic family around you. It sounds like you are indeed blessed by having them, but I agree with Clementine that they are also blessed in having you.

Have a happy birthday!

Today I told myself I was grateful for all my suffering and pain, even grateful for social anxiety and depression. I know that sounds crazy, but I think there is something counter-intuitive about it. I've been suffering so much I have been really worried I'm going crazy, as though I'm only a whisker away from acting upon my rage, suicidal or homicidal impulses. There was a strange feeling of peace that came over me today as I thanked life for my suffering, hoping that one day, even though it had alluded me so far, my suffering will help me grow and I will be able to help others.

I've got a job interview on the 4th July, and I've just been invited to another job interview on the 10th July. It's red panty night tonight. Hype.
