Dare2Diva is Grateful

Thursday was quite a tough day. So many people coming up to me and saying I am an inspiration to them because I gave a speech about my mental illness. This really makes me feel uncomfortable as does the question 'Can I have a hug?' I can't say no because I don't want to push people away or offend them but it really makes me feel uncomfortable indeed. I didn't give the speech for that. I gave the speech because I am sick of people being recognised for saving money or completing a big project. I wanted to let people know that people should realise that sometimes just making it into work is a really huge thing and really shows bravery and courage. Anyway, I will keep accepting the recognition even though that wasn't my intention. This isn't about me. People asking for a hug I will accept because that is more about them than me. I am grateful for the recognition I have had this week. I am grateful for the kind words people have said about me I am grateful fo

Because I am minus a home computer I have to use my work computer during work hours so I may not get to them every day but I will give it a go. I am grateful for the rain stopping for the time I needed to work to and from the station. I am grateful I was introduced to a new cafe. The coffee is really good and it gets me outside. I am grateful for dinner being made for the family. I am grateful for the lift to and from home. I am just too tired at the end of the day to wait around and catch a bus I am grateful my speech went well. I got a standing ovation, a certificate award for being brave and courageous. I am grateful that I don't have a lot to say in my psych appointments. It means that things are getting better. I am grateful for my warm bed at night. I swear I fall into bed and get to sleep straight after. So much better than insomnia. I am grateful for the new people I have met from my speech. Hugs make me feel uncomfortable but if it helps a person feel better then

I am not feeling very jolly today so I may be digging deep I am grateful I woke up and got dressed just in time to leave this morning I am grateful for my lift from Pa to the station in the morning. That saves a bus trip I am grateful for my new handbag. It carries everything and isn't annoying to me. I am grateful for finding a new coffee shop. I had a cup Friday which was better than the cafe downstairs, but nothing to write home about. Today i have ordered 2 coffees both the same, ExLarge skim vanilla late extra shot espresso. Not bitter at all. The flavour is out of this world. I am grateful I have my computer glasses on. Ir makes things so much clearer to read.

I'm feeling a little blurrr today so here are the things I was grateful for over the weekend. I am grateful that the sun poked through most of the day Saturday I am grateful Sunday was sunny and warm out of the wind I am grateful for the 'knitting circle' my sister and I have. She crotchets and I knit chatting away, drinking coffee. I am grateful My laptop was found and i think it is working ok. I just hope the computer guy isn't too expensive to fix it. I am grateful Pa seems to be happier in this house. I am grateful we have an olly meltdown free day I am grateful I have been spending more time with my sister in this house. I am grateful that I had enough money to get my hair done and Help my sister financially.
