I& #39;ve got a lot fewer spoons than I was hoping for today, even after coffee, and I& #39;m feeling pretty down about that. Also so many people I love are sick or hurting.
So I& #39;m gonna change my attitude and write about the things in my life I& #39;m grateful for.
So I& #39;m gonna change my attitude and write about the things in my life I& #39;m grateful for.
Firstly, I& #39;m grateful for *you*. Y& #39;all are endlessly supportive and just generally good people. I& #39;m really glad to have this chance to get to know some of you, and just know that without you life would be a lot colder and emptier than it is.
So thank you.
So thank you.
Secondly, I& #39;m grateful that I& #39;ve got a place to stay and work while I wait for things to resolve. It& #39;s incredibly tough on my pride, but that& #39;s a gift! If I can use this time to learn to love and value myself when I& #39;m in need, I& #39;ll be able to continue to see the value of others.
Right now I& #39;m relying on the kindness of a brother that& #39;s ten years younger and I can& #39;t help but feel like this is all so backwards and like I& #39;ve failed so desperately at every expectation life put out for me. So my pride is just doing flips right now, lol. I& #39;m grateful for that.
Thirdly, I& #39;m grateful that even though I was never any kind of especially talented person, that I spent a lot of time in the past working hard to develop skills that fool people into thinking I am.
Fourthly, I& #39;m grateful to be past the first few years of transition. Every day gets a little bit better as things develop and GOD am I grateful for every minute bit of progress!
Fifthly, I& #39;m grateful for having as many spoons as I do. My usual bad days now are only about as bad as my best days before HRT. The longest I& #39;ve been bedridden for the last three years is a couple of days at most. It& #39;s amazing progress, and I refuse to ever take it for granted.
Sixth, as tough as life can be and as scary as the future seems right now, I& #39;m grateful to be alive. I want to be a part of this, to live through this time. It might be dark, but dark times are the ones where we have the most opportunity to really show our light!
Seventh, I& #39;m grateful that this thread worked and I feel much better haha
