I am grateful for a rain free day - so far

I am thankful that after a decade a really good, real time friend is in my life. I felt like garbage this morning and it was so amazing to text her way to early and get a response. :)

that i finally have my psych. eval. today. (i have a psychiatrist, but apparentally she can't handle me and all my disorder's and medications, and wants someone specializing in AD/HD to give her a second opinion telling her what she is prescribing me is okay...)

i've been waitin' 3 weeks for this appt.!!! i've been struggling cuz my main pdoc cut the amount of AD/HD meds in HALF so i've been dying, not able to function at work.... i'm surprised i'm not fired.

i'm grateful for this appt., but i just hope it will go well and i am nervous as hell.

Good luck Mesa. :)

I am grateful in got a chance to sit in the park today. It was beautiful, white blossoms on the apple trees and pink buds and blossoms on the crab apple trees. Smelled wonderful too.

I am grateful that my kids did nothing embarrassing while we were at a friend's going-away party this afternoon.

my job. it keeps the income coming in to support my family

my knowledge of ADD.

I am grateful that we didn't get any tornadoes today.We were under a watch all day.

I am grateful for my diagnosis. I spent a great deal of my life in a deep, secret depression...toying with ending my life, sabotaging the few relationships I valued, having little self esteem, a grim outlook on myself, and a grim outlook on life as well. I was convinced that I was nothing more than a loser that would never amount to anything.

Understanding what a major part of the problem was (ADD) is what finally starting getting me on a good path. It still isn't perfect, and I guess it'll always have it's bumps, but I am generally happier now than I have ever been in my entire adult life.

I am grateful for that my best friends daughter and my daughter have gotten over there blow out from last weekend. Yeah, they are speaking to each other once again!!

Finishing things.

I am grateful for both of my daughters, who in some ways allow me revisit my childhood, and in others help me to emotionally grow as a man.

My little brother.

The color pink.

for Friday -
we (3 trumpets from our local group) played in a concert with a small orchestra and choir; extra rehearsals - rushing back from work to get out to their town, having to deal with a whole bunch of new people at once etc.
well we played beautifully and their director even had the 3 of us come up to the front of the stage, at the end. (Aida - massive trumpet part, and we did it!)

I am grateful for the summertime weather.

I am grateful for the jerk who came in my house yesterday and disrespected me so bad that for the first time in my adult life I threw someone out of my house. I am grateful to have enough perspective to not apologize for his horrid behavior. I am grateful that I am learning to value and respect myself, evident by a greater insistance that those around me do the same.

Really, now what has Verdi done recently:confused:?

wow thank you!
hey, it was not a big production - local groups: a very small orchestra with mostly students, and a choir of adults at least in their 50's or older. No costumes or anything like that!

Such a sweet family.

Today, I am grateful for my Dad responding to Chemo, and loving wife and daughter, and having a new lease on life!

My doctor agreed to prescribe Adderall for 3 times a day instead of 2, which I need because I started working second shift, but like having a brain before work so I can drive safely and pay bills and do dishes and stuff, and remember to get ready for work. :)

The Adderall that was on backorder came in on Monday after all! :D

If I'd had any left I would have maybe realized it would have been a good idea to check on it yesterday, instead of waiting until this morning. :confused: Though finishing work (or rather not!), without it last night was enough to motivate me to check back instead of having the idea that because they said they'd call when it came in, they really would. :eek: :rolleyes:

today i am grateful for nippies. that is all

Having a NT guy who has had a lot of experience with ADHD people. He lets me work through and around things in my own way, my own time, and doesn't mess with my working systems. In fact, he's facilitating things for me, and doesn't mind picking up in some of the places that I fall flat.

The good ppl I've met over here. I can always trust you to swing my mood back to the bright side of life. ta dum, tada tada tadum :)

I'm soooo grateful that it was a hot and dry day instead of the killer hot humid days we usually get.

For a productive day at work, for a great session with my therapist this afternoon, then having dinner with my husband's niece, who also struggles with adhd, the summer vegetable risotto, the Starr Hill Love Brew on tap, and the very diverse and talented acts that performed for open mic night. There was everything from gospel, 1930's blues, folk rage (lol), rolling stones covers, happy tunes, etc. This day quenched my thirsty soul in many ways. :) Ahhhhhhhh........

May reality not slap the crap outta me tomorrow. ;)

Yes he is!! I'm very fortunate to be surrounded by many supportive people at work - and here - and at home. Looking forward to learning how to more fully, and frequently, express my appreciation to those closest to me as they are the ones who usually receive the tough stuff and have to put up with the raw and uncut version of me. :cool:

My brother is driving up to a lake...so I get to swim!!!! and because despite extreme fatigue I went to see my mom in the long term care place yesterday. It brightened up part of her day and i am proud of myself for following through.

My husband who supported my decision to go to work even though I wasn't up to it because he knew I'd be anxious and not rest if I didn't, and who drove me to work so I didn't have to get there myself, and who took me home at lunchtime when I couldn't handle anymore, and who cooked dinner so I didn't have to, and who gave me lots of hugs and did all these things with 100% support and no complaints even though he had a really bad headache all day.

I love reading how much you enjoy spending time with your kids.

That I saved some of the writing I've been working on for the past year so I have something to share with my critique partner, since I didn't write anything new in the last month.

In the past, I threw away or lost my writing in fits of anger, despair, frustration, self-loathing, negligence, negative self-esteem, carelessness,- and would have nothing to share when I impulsively signed myself up for these kinds of things. And then the all-night push to get something finished followed by a complete breakdown- well, never a pretty outcome. This time I'm ready. :)

Oh- I also cleaned my house and made brownies yesterday so my kids could entertain their friend today and I could sort thru the writing.

A good day for me and I am grateful for it.
