I am beyond grateful for right now. This moment. Reflecting on the day and the week, and I am grateful for curious little guys who don't know names for feelings. I am grateful for parents who are honest with their kiddos about MH and know where their expertise ends and makes appointments so my knowledge and compassion can begin. I am grateful for being in less physical pain today and for the ability to share with a father how boundaries work. I am grateful, so grateful for right now. Silence. No longer working on documentation. The feeling of contentment when the work day and week are over, knowing I did my best. I am grateful for being able to recognize these gratitudes. I am grateful for staying sober and strong. 2 years ago I was not sober. Not strong emotionally nor mentally to even be grateful for anything other than that next shot...that would lead to the whole bottle by end of night. I am grateful for my sobriety and all it has allowed for me to accomplish and to accept. Even accepting pain. I am grateful for today. Just for today, the here, the now. The silence. Well, silence except for Lil Man whining to be pet...he is rotten.
I am grateful for the beginnings of another sober night and weekend.
