Gratitude-Medicine for the soul

[SH_]

Today I am thankful for d17. She is so strong in spite of the chaos that our family is experiencing. She provides genuine support, words of wisdom and an innocent childlike demeanor with her little sister. I noticed today that D5 gets lost in the chaos, but d17 always noticed and ensures to engage her and have fun.

I am grateful for my youngest brother. While he makes the trek from Alaska to Florida for a change in jobs, he continues to check in on me and share support.

I am thankful to my closest friend who has been there for me since we were teenagers. He has been there to share words of advice, lend an ear, and sometimes kick my butt and ensure I stay on track and focused.

And I say it each time, but the support, kindness, advice, and genuine concern from folks on this forum has been huge in getting me through some tough days. It is crazy to think strangers from many corners of this planet going through some very challenging times, would spend the time to reach out and offer words of kindness and peace. For this I am truly grateful each day that I have been here. Thank you to each of you.
