Today I'm Grateful for:-
Today I'm grateful for gratitude.
After such an awesome night last night, today has been difficult in so many ways. One, the pain... damn it hurts all over; two, my brain is fried from the over excitement, and three, I haven't been able to do anything I wanted to do today.
As I have probably mentioned before, it's not always easy to be positive, especially on the crappy days. So what I need to do is to rediscover what this blog is supposed to be about. In order to do that, I re-read my introduction to this gratitude journal. In it was the line "That next step is to find things that I care about, to learn again to be grateful for the little things (and even the big things) in fact ALL things that bring joy, peace and meaning to my life."
So ok, I'm a bit of a slow learner... I wonder how I can be so very ungrateful for wonderful things in my life by finding negative things about them! For instance, saying that I feel so crappy because I went to an amazing concert last night. There's something wrong with that mentality. And really, I'm incredibly grateful for being able to go to the concert, and all the other wonderful things I am able to do. I really am, it's just that my illness doesn't know the difference between bad stress and good stress, it just knows that stress brings pain.
So today I am actually grateful for gratitude. That feeling of warmth that comes from being so deeply appreciative for kindness or gifts (whether they be materialistic or spiritual) and the humbleness of knowing that someone cares enough about me to do these things for me. I love this feeling, it is a close second to the feeling I get when I do these things for the people I care about. Now THAT is a feeling to be grateful for. :)
Hope this blog made sense, lol.
