That is really wonderful, Daisy!
Grateful for a good run
Grateful to spend time drawing with my son today. He is really developing in art. I’m not sure if he is dominant right or left brain side. He’s very good at math and science too
Grateful to find two new pairs of jeans at a consignment shop
Grateful for the GF and paleo banana bread I found at the regular grocery store
Grateful my son asked about my family, and specifically my brothers, who died years before he was born and when I was much younger, from suicide. It’s a long story but the last time the subject of my brothers came up was when son was about 4 and he was begging for a sibling. He does not remember and we never discussed how my brothers died. When he asked me about them tonight and what happened to them, he said it was ok if I didn’t want to talk about it because he could tell by my face that I was upset. So I told him it is a complicated story and we will talk about it another time. I’m grateful that he cares about family, and that he has developed such empathy. Grateful for my therapist since I know I need to have a session to figure out how best to explain this subject to son
Grateful that the sad and nostalgic mood I’m in will pass
Grateful for my sobriety and not numbing my feelings with alcohol
Grateful for all of you
