Title: What are you grateful for ? Post by: HappyChappy on September 25, 2021, 07:11:13 AM I'm told that regardless of faith, writing down what you're grateful for each day helps heal. So I'll got first:
I'm grateful for this fabulous forum and the moderators for doing a great job. When I first came here I was suffering from CPTSD and wasn’t as positive as I am today, hence why I want to let moderators (and new users) know this is a valuable resource that works. Just takes time. Big thanks to the moderators who helped me a long time ago and still appear to be working the forum now; Skip, Turkish, Woolspinner2000, Notwendy plus the newer ones I don't know e.g. formerflyer etc... :hug: So what are you grateful for ? This is a non judgmental forum, I got away with saying I liked James Blunt once lol and no one has ever asked me to justify why I think Scary Spice is the best Spice Girl (Posh isn’t posh and Baby’s an adult, so Scary is the only one not hiding anything - if you must know). :wee: Title: Re: What are you grateful for ? Post by: Woolspinner2000 on September 25, 2021, 02:52:50 PM Hey HC!
Our old wolf, dog and llama team! |iiii Where's the blue parrot? I am thankful for all those who have made this a safe place for those of us who needed a place to belong. I am also grateful for sunshine after the rain. We have a beautiful sunny afternoon outside of my window. :hug: Wools Title: Re: What are you grateful for ?

This forum :hug: Title: Re: What are you grateful for ? Post by: Notwendy on September 27, 2021, 06:04:14 AM Agreed, this forum and all of you who "get" it :)
and every blessing every day. Title: Re: What are you grateful for ? Post by: pursuingJoy on September 28, 2021, 09:51:15 AM Great thread to start! I'm grateful for the kind, generous people on this forum. I'm always happy to see a newcomer's first post because I know it means the start of healing.
I'm also thankful for my health, and randomly, my volleyball team. We've lost every game but it's not for lack of trying! :wee: I look forward to practice and games every week. I'm so thankful for supportive leadership at work, a husband I genuinely enjoy spending time with, and my pets. Title: Re: What are you grateful for ? Post by: Turkish on September 29, 2021, 10:10:54 PM I am greatdpful for your often dry and offbeat wit, very British. It keeps me entertained and brings a smile to my face.
I greatful to be employed though I sometimes hate my job. I'm grateful for my kids even D9 with her pre-tween attitude. Little Ms. Hangry tonight. "You can't have any pudding until you eat your meat!" Er, broccoli... I'm also grateful that others seem to see my value where I do not. Like today at work where I did something I thought simple, but it got oohs and aahs. Whatever... work, schmerk. My Yiddisism for the night. Title: Re: What are you grateful for ? Post by: poppy2 on September 30, 2021, 06:00:54 PM Hi,
I'm grateful for the forum, definitely. The resources here are amazing. I'm also grateful for: breath, warm meals, my plant, my secure income in a time of crisis (the last 4 months), my counsellor, compassionate friends and strangers, and the sky when it is endless and obscure. I'm usually on the detaching board but honestly, reading the 'Co-parenting/divorcing' board I felt like I belonged there better, but only cause I could relate to these parents struggles to stay sane (my world as a child). So I'll be grateful to find more answers, too, and maybe join this board :) So glad that people 'get it' here! Title: Re: What are you grateful for ? Post by: HappyChappy on October 05, 2021, 07:12:21 PM Woolspinner Nice to see the Dalai Lama is still imparting wisdom on the forum.
Methuen I’ll second the dark chocolate and add in cherries. I see your value Turk, you do a great job on here. A big Wolf job. Poppy2 – totally agree. What happened to Poppy1 ? pursuingJoy your optimism is infectious, how do you keep it up. I get you can't keep the volley ball up because you keep losing, but the Joy how do you keep that up ? Notwendy, I’m grateful you know who you’re not, that’s always a start. I’m grateful I was taught the meaning of ‘abundance’. It means a lot. Also grateful for music , comedy , art Title: Re: What are you grateful for ? Post by: Kwamina on October 10, 2021, 07:10:29 AM Hi good ol' Chappy! :hi:
Nice to see you pop up again with your Blunt and Spice talk :) I am grateful for parrots! :heart: :wee: Take care HappyChappy :hug: The Board Parrot Title: Re: What are you grateful for ? Post by: busybee1116 on October 10, 2021, 09:13:48 AM I’m grateful for my health and that every day is an opportunity to start fresh, no matter what nonsense happened yesterday! Got to watch the sun rise today.
Title: Re: What are you grateful for ? Post by: HappyChappy on October 17, 2021, 06:09:58 AM I'm grateful for the love and tolerance on this forum - we can paint the sky any colour/color we want and fill it with Parrots and beas, because we are part of the same family and are kind and supporting. This truely is a safe haven on social media and we truely are an awesome tribe (especially me - I'm practising self love lol)
Kwamina :hi: good to see you're still flying the boards, I hope your wings have healed. Darn right I’m straight talk’n, I don’t speak that double dutch with forked tongue like the orange man does. I just speak a load of nonsense. Busybea1116 – I also have a fresh start each day, only in the UK we call it a shower. I also brush my teeth lots - did I mention I talk a load of nonsense ? :hug: Title: Re: What are you grateful for ? Post by: Kwamina on October 27, 2021, 08:53:02 AM Good to see you practicing self-love and you indeed did mention that you talk a whole lot of nonsense! :) But that's ok, we appreciate you showing up as your whole HappyChappy self :wee:
