It's Thankful Thursday. As is often the case, I am glad for this opportunity to focus on gratitude. Yesterday was a rough day with pain and memories, and this morning has brought pain again. So it's a good time to focus on the good things in my life and remind myself that the abuse is in the past.
Today I am grateful for:
1. Pain medication that works.
2. My husband's sense of humor, and his safe travels yesterday through torrential rain.
3. Rain that we needed very badly. Wishing peace to those who got too much rain though.
4. Plans to see some friends in a play this weekend. It's always nice to go out to a show, but it doubles the fun when friends are on the stage!
5. While I am not grateful for the pain I am currently dealing with, I am grateful to be finally addressing and working through the abuse that causes the recurring pain. It is a hard path at times, but well worth it for the positive changes I have seen in my life.
Here's a picture of my "dream" garden:
