Luz.Feliz.
nathanieljblack7One of the most beneficial skills I’ve learned to help me on my recovery path is gratitude. Being grateful for the little things, the things you have, and for everything that goes well during the day instead of always focusing on the negative can be so powerful. It completely changes your attitude. I want to start a thread that I think has the potential to go on and on as well as serve as a tool for everyone here. List three things you are grateful for today. I’ll start!
1. I woke up two hours before y alarm clock went off this morning and got to enjoy a slow, relaxing start to my day. It was nice listening to the birds chirping while I had my morning coffee.
2. I did really well on my ethics exam.
3. Thursdays are my Fridays because I don’t work or have class on Fridays. I get to go home after this shift, rest, and officially begin my weekend.
Bonus! (because it may seem silly but seriously the more you can find to feel grateful for the better off you’ll be):
4. I ordered a new computer and it’ll arrive in the mail tomorrow. Yey for having a fully functioning computer again!
Your turn.

She would cling, scream, cry, beg… ugh even thinking about it makes me shudder. She wouldnt play or sleep or eat at daycare… no matter how long she was in there. Now when I ask her if she wants to see Jazz (her daycare provider and BFF) she gets excited and can’t wait to go play! So I’m just so grateful for that huge change and relief <3

Sometimes this mindset is difficult to keep up with but its truly the little things in life that some of us need to be more grateful for so without further ado here’s a few that stuck out to me today / this week 😁
1. New apartment / new family vibrations! Starting August 1st, I will be moving into an apartment for the first time with my partner and a close friend of mine. Super excited to see how this new way of life pans out. I’m grateful for the new opportunities that are on their way.
2. My sister / her birthday. She was born July 20th 1984 and passed September 4th 2002. I was only 5 when she was taken from us while she was only 20. A lot of my family and friends celebrated her spirit with an art festival and despite me feeling strange throughout the whole day, I tried my best to keep my head up. I’m grateful to have been blessed with such a beautiful guardian angel.
3. Running little errands! I often ask my friends / coworkers if they need anything while I’m out and about.
