With so much hurt to talk about, and struggles to find relief from various challanges and feelings around the board, I thought it would be healing to get a bit of our thinking onto the good around us. I hope you will join me in stopping in occasionally and reflecting on the good in our lives.


A friend I just met named Donna. She is very nice and has similar interest to myself. She is a really healthy person in terms of she is not proud of her error but secure in herself. She is the kind of person who I have been wanting in my life.


A mentor in my life that I respect and trust enough to be impacted by.

A job with insurance. I know what it's like to have neither and know there are far too many out there suffering financially, physically or both because they have neither, and most at no fault of their own.

I really had an exceptional day!

I'm grateful for this Forum and all my friends here; all the fun we have , A computer and connections and our Sooper Dooper Moderators who keep this place running so smoothly; and need I say, Song for bringing our many blessings to our minds with this excellent thread. Thanks Hon! You are a true Inspiration! :D

...the ADDer's in my life and the God who created them. Their gifts, talents, and all the things they do RIGHT, in their own way, does not catch God off guard...considering all He made and all He does and the ability to hyper-focus on each one of us...maybe He chose to share such Divinity with a few. :)

I love your tag line hydrus, nice!


I am grateful that after the dark of deep night, is the glory of purple and then magenta turning into pink then mango and finally the lifting of the sun.

Having ADHD!

Seeing as how I am still up and wide awake 21 hrs later, due to be in yoga and then running class at school by 8:30 am later this morning, then coming back to work by 3pm until 11:30pm again.

And this after a week of days when I've been up at most, 25 hrs straight.
What a week!:eek:

Couldn't have done it without my ADHD though!;)
I'd be a real mess for sure!:p

Sunday I experienced two separate incidents that led me to back-to-back trips to the local ER for stitches first on my right hand and then on my left hand. :o

I've been in the middle of housecleaning for an upcoming housing inspection next week and I NEED those hands. Luckily, the pain has mostly subsidized and I've regained good movement of both hands so that I can both have my beloved hands :) and get the darn housecleaning done on time.

So I'm grateful for having insurance coverage for things like that, and for my regular ongoing meds and medical treatment. And I'm grateful that the mishaps I had weren't worse than they are! :eek:

Cats :cool:

I am grateful for living in a developed country with plenty of access to electricity.

what a lovely thing to write!

Once again I am just so grateful to have found these forums. I noticed recently it says "join date October 2008" by my name and so I have been here for a year already!

thank you everyone.

Metamucil. Don't need to go into details about that.

Metamucil. Don't need to go into details about that.

"the fingernails of God scraping your colon clean."


Well....you said you wouldn't......but then you did..... :D

I am thankful today to not need the "fingernails of God" doing anything to my insides or Metamucil for that matter. Tomorrow's another day.

I am thank-ful for the opportunity to guide another woman onto the right path...she had her mammogram, and her mastectomy, and today(yes TODAY), she stopped into see me....happy, healthy and beautiful!
I live to offer a diagnosis that will lend in a prognosis.

I am grateful to the committment xraylady had to her patients when she was still feeling her way around the ealier part of her medical career. Specifically, I remember when X would post about studying her med books over and over even though she was out of school because she did not want to mess up another persons life.

I am grateful on behalf of all the lucky patients who find there way to a better state of health, because lady X went the distance...and then beyond...

First snow!!!

I'm grateful for all of you who are able to see the beauty in this world and share it with us. Those of you who~no matter what~persevere against what seems like insurmountable odds, and those of you who go the extra mile to help others. Bless you all!
Circularing Cats, I hope your hands get better soon. Xray Lady I hope your friend stays Happy Healthy and Beautiful! :D:D:D

This morning I saw a beautiful sunrise with a palette of Deep Indigo, Cerulean Blue tinged brightly with intense Vermilion, and two separate ribbons of brilliant Coral color stretching across the eastern morning sky. Breathtakingly Gorgeous!!! :D:D

I am grateful for sick leave provisions.

I am also grateful for Kleenex Aloe Vera Tissues

ohhhh yeah, when you have the snuffles those lotion kleenex tissues are really nice.


After my meeting with my councelor last week I felt so sad about certain aspects of myself, I didnt think I could deal with it...of course I did :)

I am grateful for growing up and moving on...I am grateful that although we fall behind the curve in the maturity process, adders do still mature, and do still come to the place of peace that growth can bring.

Melatonin

A good nights sleep.

a friend who was willing to make a few plan changes to help me at the last minute.

Today I am thankful my daughter walked into school and held her head high, as yesterday she burried a dear young friend.
We all have bad days, but to lose a child to Cancer, is the most devistating event that can occur.
My daughter has burried 5 friends in her young life, and today I am so proud and thankful for her strong spirit, core...but most of all, I am thankful she is healthy and alive.

Well they're not so much from today but from the past week or so...

I'm grateful for the technology we have these days! After seeing a program on TV the other week, where each week a family "lived" in a certain decade, so first it was the 70s, then the 80s...and last week it was the 90s! The decade I grew up in, wooop! :D
It was so funny looking back at everything...like the old computers and Windows 95!! And the old games consoles...and the dial-up internet connection! And the noises it made LOL!!
And how they pretty much failed at a shopping trip becuase they didn't have mobile phones to contact each other :p
And as for the old phones...!!!!!

Secondly, I am grateful for when my laptop keyboard worked, and for having people that can fix it for me! A few of the keys don't work, but the majoirty do...in a way, it would have been better for the whole thing to break, that way the people that are helping me would have helped me by now :o basically they've got spare USB keyboards but haven't got round to looking for them yet, because I can pretty much cope with it.

Thirdly, I'm grateful for my friend being such a good friend the other night and coming all the way to my place, picking me up, then driving up to north London at like 11:30 at night, and having the idea of staying at my boyfriend's place with me (I hate staying there but with our friend there too I felt completely fine, well 98%...but better than 0%!).
It's sort of a long story about how it went a bit wrong and all that...but the reason I had to get up to north London that late at night was because we were all going up to Alton Towers the next day and had an early start.

I am profoundly grateful for the house I just rented. I am in a home that is being inspected by the city soon for suspect of livability...ie...possibly about to be condemned or something of the sort. I have really blown it at my last two places and do not have a good rental history so i just did not know what was going to happen. The folks I am renting from are missionaries at our church and they have decided to go back to the field for a while. I asked them to lower the rent a bit...and they did! Then, they offered to take less deposit than I was willing to put up front in liew of monthly installments...so it is so great. The best part? I have always my whole life dreamed of having a house with a parlor, and guess what? Yup! It's got a parlor!!! They asked how long I saw myself their, and I told them until they returned to from the mission field, they told me they do not want to move back into the house becuase it is to big for them now that they are getting on in years and having some health issues...and then...they said that if after 1-2 years if I have established a good payment history they will do a purchase option. I am so happy. :)

I am grateful that in the midst of al that can happen in life, I have my faith, family, my dear husband and of course my online friends to walk beside me, encourage me, make me laugh and smile. Life is good.

live football (sorry a bit less inspirational - but it just makes me happy! this has only been available here for the past couple of years).

I am grateful that my 2 yr old seems to be a happy kid with so much character!

no pain!

WOW!!!!! Thank you my sweet song!!!!!!! I will never take anyone or anything for granted. I will offer all I can for as long as I am able...
Thank you for the beautiful words, from a beautiful soul!

I am grateful for the author of time ordering my work days so I have enough time to do what needs to be done - :)

Today I am grateful that people are grateful about positive things because I feel that that spins the world more smoothly.

I am also grateful for a good night's sleep, though not so many hours were needed. I am headed towards my countdown for my apartment inspection tomorrow. (That will be any time after a mere 26 hours from now -- Eek! says the procrastinator and clutterer and worrier me. :eek:)

I am grateful that my life seems more manageable overall. The introduction to the ADD meds has certainly been a great help, as have been both my T and pdoc.


Cats :)

transfering someone (on vacation in another time zone) into a mega important conf call. - I've been worrying about it all day! especially the part about not forgetting to call him at 3:00...

I am grateful for another day a clean house, kids in school and a day off the very day my new computer arrives booyeah!

I am grateful to be sitting in the quiet of my groovy new house posting to my fav forum :)

I'm grateful for the support of my family and friends and the team of doctors and homecare folks.

The other week, after doing some PT and OT I had pain in my lower leg..
A few minutes later my PT came by and examined my leg. She said," no PT today " and ask me to lay down..raise my leg..

She then called my primary doctor..She...she waited around for about an hour for his return call...

I quess what I'm sharing is...she stayed to make sure I was ok...and for instructions from primary doc. She could of left anytime...but she stayed...

Doc called..I went to the ER for an ultrasound of my leg.. They found a DVT in my lower leg...

I am grateful for people like my PT, who care for others..who give 100%. Who stay the course...This was not a job for her.. Her compassion and leadership gave evidence to her character..

Thank you Song for this thread..Very positive OP :)

I am grateful for reconnecting with one of my favorite people ever after 30 years!

I am grateful for the technology that allows this.

I am grateful for this forum, where I see lots of other folks that think like me and understand me - this means a lot when a certain "normal" individual reminds me on a daily basis that I'm not. I may not be "normal", but I choose not to be cruel. I am grateful I've learned to take the high road in these situations. I am grateful that most "normal" types are not this way.

I am grateful for a beautiful sunshiny Fall day, and I wish everyone a happy Halloween! Love to you all!

I may not be "normal", but I choose not to be cruel.


Bravo!


I am grateful for being able to share a real problem I am having right now and that folks have responded with practical solutions that are helping me move in a positive direction.

I am grateful for the neighborhood outreach going on at the local park and the sweet teenageer from across the street that took my kids to the function. Bar-b-que, music, spiritual message...and teh part I am hoping works out, groceries for those that ask for it...I am also grateful that my kids have the courage to go and ask for this help while mamma tries to get some work done.

Song

I, too, am grateful that I am not cruel!

I am thankful that despite my ongoing worries things work out just fine for me. I hope from this that I can contribute to things working out well for others, too.

Cats :)

I am grateful to have actually achieved some measurable work today. Thank Goodness!

A little background for those who might read this who dont really know much about me...

I was raised in an alcoholic home and experienced a range of various abuses as a child. Combined with undetected adhd and a bipolar tendancy (released when I took to using meth in my late 20s) I have carried a fair size chip on my shoulder for most of my life. One thing that has bothered me is how do I honor my mother and father who did not do so many honorable things? Well, this morning I was thinking about the time I was struck down by a drunk driver when I was 9. Shortly afterwards when I was back home and out of my cast my step dad molested me. My mom divorced him and gave up untold financial benefits to remain near the hospital I was getting therapy at. My parents made a lot of money, but to really get her share of their assetts we would have had to relocate back to the state where the largest portion of those assets were at. Mom chose not to do that. She chose to lose what had basically taken her 10+ years to aquire in order to both protect me as best she could and to ensure that I would be able to walk properly for the rest of my life.

I am really grateful this morning for my mother. She made mistakes, but she loved me the best she knew how.

Song

All of what you went through all that is what makes you a beautiful person right now, Song , I am grateful to count you as one of my friends :)

I'm grateful I got notifications for a new (virtual) friends today. :)

I'm grateful for all the friends and family who cared enough to wish me a happy birthday for today (today is Tuesday in OZ) and I had such a nice day that I've forgotten about the things that have contributed to my depression.

Selena

I´m grateful for the diagnose I got year 2004. Since then my life have been going to better direction. I just couldn´t get anywhere before I became aware of the fact, that I have ADHD.

I am grateful that my day just has gone exceedingly smoothly, both with the things I planned and those I did not. It makes me feel well-cared for and fortunate.

Cats :)

I am grateful for what I have, the friends, family and all that makes up my life this very day. may contentment abound and bring joy and happiness too :)

I am grateful for the excellent appointment I had with my therapist today. We covered some good topics and I left the session feeling I've benefited.

Even after all these years I still haven't run out of stuff to talk about with him LOL. Not that I have such a messed up life, but because of how we approach the situations at hand.

Plus, I'm blessed to have insurance coverage and a signing therapist who's excellent in his own right that I can understand.

Cats:)

Today I am grateful to see the sunrise; bursting into this room :)

Although I had a tremendously hard time getting up today, I am grateful that the day was still alive for me to participate in when I finally managed to drag myself up.

Cats :)

Today I'm grateful for all the little things I did, with the many, many breaks I took in between them.:D

I am learning it's okay not to keep going like the Energerizer bunny all the time. :)

Today I am greatful for advice I read on this forum! And greatful to those on these posts!! I learn more and more everyday!!

Got in way over my head in projects but it seems like this work and alot of future work will be rewarded properly if I keep going. So, thankful for hope and foresight I guess? :)

Also for Nicoderm for helping me stop smoking two months ago, and I can say that I'm now a lifelong non-smoker. :)

Today I'm grateful/appreciative of the gift card my therapy clinic gave me for T-Day. . . .:)

A new way of thinking........the realization that it's never too late and we're never too old, to do or to be, what ever we want in life.....that no one's holding us back but us.....and our old way of thinking.

That after a terrible first half of day in which I didn't get going at all, I doing well in this second half. So all's not lost . . .

My Dad for once again helping me out and having the solution to problems that I know nothing about (ie: cars, computers, banking, etc). My car battery died AGAIN (first on Thanksgiving, then today) and he had the solution. AAA to jump it, then told me where to take it and that they'd fix it for me. :D

A day in which every small thing, planned and unplanned, happened nicely . . .

Beautiful weather !! :)

For a beautiful sunny day, a light cool breeze & a fun day out ahead of me :)

For having an unlimited amount of attempts on math homework (it's all online) and you can do it as many times as it takes to get it completely right!!

It may have taken me 8 + hours so far and I may only have 95% right, but I will get all 60 correct and get 100% :D

I'm thankful that my Mother's cancer is in complete remission! And that her hair is growing back!

Today I'm grateful for my wife.

Today I'm grateful that I'm feeling terrific and it's an "off-day" (weekend day), in which I don't even need to be feeling this good at this time in the morning.

I have things to do with my sister today, and after having a terrible day yesterday, this good start is a blessing.

My back is feeling better. Strange but I think it needs a bit of "wakening up" to get it into gear! If I give myself that extra time in the morning, then I can get my back to cooperate and my day to start well. :)

Sunrise

Two of my best buddies from 30 years ago sending me a welcome back to the tribe present!

Christmas tree decorated!!!
It looks beautiful - and once I had straightened out a technical issue with the lights - turned on the sports channel and the Vikings are on, playing in MN.
I suddenly remembered, how we would decorate our tree when I was little "when the game was over" (my dad did the lights), wow those last 2 minutes of the game went on foverver! so my tree is done and I had a wonderful christmas memory.

Everything going smoothly.

Today I’m grateful that I don’t have to go outside. It’s been snowing for a couple of days, and now it looks like it’s turning to ice. I live in a small court yard and it looks like a Christmas card but I’m still glad I don’t have to go out in it.

My mom, for being there to help me chill out my worrying head last night. :)

Going to spend the day with several of members of my family. :)

Oh, today was 'THAT' day. It was the day after 22 years of being a parent when my daughter shared the whoas of being a mommy and all I could do was shout 'Woot wOOt' (inside of course!)

So...she was holding the baby without a diaper on and felt her 'bubbling,' decided it was gas and went on with the conversation for a while...(snicker...hold on a minute...ok, ok, im ready) so after a bit she slides her down her arm and discovers poo on her arm pants and shirt...apparently she is dressed for a date..kinda snazzed up..she goes to balance the baby and gets poo on her hand and other arm...daddy comes to the rescue and grabs little miss and somehow ends up with poo all over himself....my daughter is still holding it together until...well, the majority of the poo hits the floor and then she (who throws up very easily) begins to hurl....

and me? I start laughing, and laugh and am still laughing....I love her ok? But, for the newer members and those who dont know me well....this child has put me threw some serious trials over the last 5 years and to see life, minus 200$ dollar hair doos and 300$ purses reach out and introduce itself to her...well...

Priceless!

WOW she did a great job and I really got started in on some serious purging of years of junk!

Nature. :)

This forum.

I have been inventorying the process of the past two years since I met all of you. It is amazing. My life is so much different. The power of compassion, the power of knowing that there is hope and that I am not a cosmic mistake or morally deficient.

You know what? I promise I am not saying this to brag or get attention, it is just such an amazing marker of the change...

My house is clean. It has been clean for 2 months...*happy tears*

It is not clean because of meds either. It is clean because of taking suggestions of what has worked for so many of you that come here and share.

Thank you addf...every member :)
oxoxox

Today I am grateful to have incredibly wonderful friends right here on this forum who helped me through some very difficult moments. What you have said to me makes such a big difference.

THIS FORUM - and on a much lesser note: tuna sandwich from subway and cheetos (baked)

Air conditioning. The rest of the week is supposed to be 21, 23, 23, 24, 26 and 27 (70, 73, 73, 75, 79 and 80). Before you start saying "I would love to have that kind of weather" remember that I am in central Alberta, Not any where in the states.

Werl, I'm guessing central air isn't a necessity in Alberta like it is here, but I totally would trade weather with you. Our predicted high temps for the next few days: 103, 104, 106, 104 and 104. Come on, fall! :)

One year sober! :)

Congrats! That's a great accomplishment!

Today I'm thankful for a wonderful husband, who'll take my son to his follow-up appointment when I have to be at stupid work. And I'm thankful that it's FRIDAY!!!!!

Sometimes thinking on the good is the best medicine :). I hope no one minds if I reserect a thread I started some time ago :)

I am grateful for my daughter's love of art, and this cheap replaceable table cloth she has ruined with her paints as she grows in such a magnificent grace.

I am grateful that my daughter is growing into such a beautiful graceful almost teen-ager. I am so grateful to see her dance with such joy and ease in her dance recital yesterday!!!

I am grateful for sumatriptan (Imitrex).

I am grateful for sumatriptan (Imitrex).

I used to take that stuff (injection form). A shot of Imitrex will make you feel like crap, but it sure does kill off those migraines. Now I just see a chiropractor every six weeks or so.

Today I a grateful for having a decent night of sleep!

Quality medicine.

Spring greens, strawberries, rhubarb, and mulberries.

the fact that my first 2 lessons of teaching practical wen't relatively well :D

Today, I am grateful for today.

Grocery stores.

That cars exist and have roofs and built in heaters (it has been raining nonstop for the past 48 hours or so).

These vitamins I've been taking lately that have been helping me to feel
almost normal and help my metabolism actually do what it's supposed to.

I am grateful that I was able to see a freind of mine from Vancouver today. She even took my daughter and I to a restruant - with a great view - for dinner!!

I am greatful that Mangos are less than a $1 right now :) I love mangos, sigh, mmmmangoooo

my friends, who have confidence and love for me when I have times I have none for myself.

Black capri pants THAT FIT, are super comfortable, make me look thin, and are nice enough for work. I'll have to go and buy another pair!

This morning I am grateful that I can see the top of the oldest and tallest tree in my neighbourhood from the window beside me. I am grateful that it hasn't been cut down as some neighbours a few years wanted.

Today I am grateful that my head doesn't hurt!

grateful that nifferka finally got rid of that headache


and spell check :D

I'm thankful for a good imagination.

I am thankful that my trash company sent the truck back after they skipped my can. I called and fussed a bit and an hour later my trash was gone along with the cardboard that was sorta stacked next to it...yay....

Today I'm grateful that remembered to grab my coffee and my muffin on my way out the door :D

I am thankful fir my mom and dad!

minimal back pain (for a change).

being alive and breathing.

Good friends who understand, big hugs, and awesome shoes.

Today I am grateful for MY SELF! Does that sound conceited? Im really not a vein person but, I feel so happy to have a healthy body. With the limitations my ADHD and BP2 give me I am glad that I am healthy enough to move the way I want, to run and jump, to swim, to rid, to hike, to do what ever the hell I feel like doing at the time! I am happy to be me!

I am greatful for my Doctor. Part of the challenge of treating me is figuring out which symptoms are caused by which disorder. One of my issues is an intense fear of authority and in my mind drs are an authority. So, today I am really greatful for a Dr who is willing to sort it all out, especially when I am unknowingly making my treatment a challenge by pretending to be ok because I am afraid of getting in trouble with my Dr.

:)

life.

I am grateful for my father.He will be 80 this Aug. & he is very active & his mind is very sharp.He has such a good way of looking at things & he has such a good sense of humor.After losing my mom 2yrs. ago, I am so thankful to still have my dad.

I am grateful that my sister took me to see my mom and that she still has times when she is happy.

I am simply thankful this morning. I am dealing with some challenges and I would run and hide but that is the old way, so just being awake and willing to put one foot in front of the other seems hopeful. Thank you air, and clouds and coffee :)

I am grateful for my sister she is going to exercise near where I live so I am now motivated to go. And she is just a great sister.

I am grateful for my kitten who loves to cuddle.
I am grateful for a dear friend who is willing to come over today to help me with all of my obligations.
I am grateful for comfortable sweats and ponytails.

I am greatful for the interwebz!!!

I caught a big mistake (mine of course, LOL) in travel reservations at work just before confirming a flight. This is new, usually I don't notice until it's too late :)
