Grateful it was a tad warmer today, as Lyoness says: Grateful the electric blanket is heating my bed and a new book is waiting.
Grateful to wish you lovely people a good night/day and hope that it's peacefully happy for you.
every degree helps.

Grateful my mortgage man is lighting a fire under me to get me to keep getting him documents. I faxed a few more things tonight but I gotta keep pushing myself.
Grateful that though everything in me wants to rest, I want this sale / purchase to happen and so will push myself. I can rest later!
Grateful the last year and a half have shown me that I do understand how to have strength, commitment, determination and endurance. I just have to remind myself that I can do that now.

Grateful I only VERY rarely think of suicide as a solution to my problems. Got the news this morning that an acquaintance/friend of friends killed herself over the weekend. Some of the things it said in the paper and that a mutual friend said could have been said about me. Apparently, this woman was struggling with some of the same things I am. So glad I know I have to look after myself today or I'm no good to anyone.
That said, I'm also grateful I was able to run my mom around today and talk to a psychologist evaluating her which was upsetting given the earlier bad news. I came home and played Rock Band after I dropped Mom off and I'm relaxing with my Criminal Minds "family" now. Glad I can balance taking care of me with taking care of her.
Love and hugs,
Eddie

Grateful that I finally posted about my antidepressant withdrawal and got some helpful replies and grateful that got me to finally do some research on it.
Very grateful to find out I am NOT alone in this, that the drug I just got off of is renowned for causing a hellish and prolonged withdrawal. I may still feel insane, lol, but at least I know I am not alone and not truly insane. (Well, I am insane but I'm used to my normal insanity!)
Grateful for the most gorgeous sunset tonight--pink, orange, purple under deep gray clouds that lit up the entire sky. Breathtaking.
Grateful that after being told my housesit people would be home today which threw me into chaos and turmoil, that they went back to the original plan and won't be home until tomorrow after all. Whew! Grateful I got a bunch of packing and cleaning done today.
Grateful that I get to have some more time online, to be here at SR!
Grateful, as always for everyone that makes up SR.

Bit early but I'm heading home shortly.
Grateful this housesit is coming to an end. I normally I love being here but this time has been challenging on a lot of fronts, including the antidepressant withdrawal chaos. I just brought stuff home and it felt SO good to be there. So I'm grateful in advance for going/being home.
Grateful I've almost finished all the cleaning and packing. The house is now all sparkling and ready for peeps to come home to their home.
Grateful today is cloudy, cooler, nice breeze blowing. Ahhhh! I LOVE it when it's less than 90!
Grateful for this last chance to be on SR before I go back to my usual sporadic internet. Very grateful I've had internet/SR during my housesit...Lifesaver!
Bye for now! =^o^=

Grateful that --even though my realtor said tonight that despite my pre approval since May, the investor mix at condo will require twenty percent down instead of our pmi plan (which is impossible for me to do)-- ... --that I did not drink.
I wanted to. Or more like I wanted to want to. But I thought EQ you're hungry angry lonely and tired, all four to the nth degree.
Grateful i know I didn't really want to drink because I know I can't go back. I know it doesn't work to stop the pain and reality. If i thought it did work, i'd have done it by now.
Grateful I cannot put the genie back in the bottle again.
