⫸STICKY⫷ What are you grateful for ?

At first I wasn't going to reply to this thread, however I am grateful for me and the life I lead. There is no one like me in the whole world. I am in command of my life, no one can take that away from me. My choices are valid, they shape the course of my life of which I am accountable for.
If I complain it's out of frustration for my own shortcomings, no is to blame for the way I understand the world because it is I who interprets people, situations and circumstances.
I am thankful I understand this and I hope I always remember who is in control when faced with adversity.

I woke up in my own bed rather than in a hospital, a psych ward, a jail, a wrecked car, or in an alley.

This really made me think. Being able to shut and lock a door behind me is a freedom that's easy to take for granted. Or taking a shower longer than 5-10 minutes without being monitored. I haven't thought about that in a long time, not until I read your post.

I have a roof over my head and a job that I like. I woke up in my own bed rather than in a hospital, a psych ward, a jail, a wrecked car, or in an alley.
I also woke up next to my best friend (see my avatar).
And the first thing I drank this morning was a delicious cup of coffee -- not a half pint of cheap vodka.

You drive safe now,yah hear
 
I’m grateful my granddaughter helped me put up my Christmas tree tonight and my grandson is coming over tomorrow to help me decorate it. I thought I was going to have to do it all myself.
 
I'm grateful the Universe decided I should live, despite several overdoses. It probably wouldn't be that way if I'd gotten into heroin or fentanyl, so thank God I avoided that shit.
