Feeling: Grateful
Date: 12/5/2018
Sometimes I don’t know how to express my gratitude with the way my life has turned out. I survived against all odds- from my days online to my suicide attempt. I’m so grateful I have my parents in my life. On Intervention of even in the hospital I’ve heard stories of parents deserting their children or not being supportive. I am so glad with my ability to write poem again. If I was standing I would fall to the floor with gratitude because it makes me so happy. Tonight I have poetry slam with a new group. Before the slam, I am meeting up with —-, —-- and —-- for food. Literally on the way home from Aunt Jeanette’’s on Christmas I had a moment where I felt completely overwhelmed with joy. Right now I ‘m in my room, bathed in sunlight. Two kitties on my bed. My life has really found it’s course. I am starting to accept mental illness will always be part of it but also that there are many things I should be thankful for. My ability to write and explore that gift for writing. Last week I won my first poetry slam. I’ve been getting published and taking classes. I’m so grateful I’m creative, that I have so many art supplies and projects I’ve been working on. I’m grateful for whatever higher power looked down and decided to make me so lucky.
