Weekly Gratitude & Other Ramblings
Happy Sunday y'all! I hope you're all having a wonderful day and weekend! Today I'm going to write out my weekly gratitude list and ramble a bit.
1. The first thing I'm grateful for is my mental health team. I'm so lucky to have an awesome therapist and a smart psychiatric nurse practitioner to help me and help manage my illnesses. If you deal with mental illness, please take time to cultivate your mental health team and find people that you click with so you can turn to them in a time of need!
2. I'm thankful for my medications. Without them, I would be a disastrous mess and might possibly not be able to survive. I'm very lucky to have access to medication.
3. I'm thankful for humor. I think I have a great sense of humor and it really helps to carry me through hard and impossible times. My whole family has an awesome sense of humor, so in hard times we all just crack jokes and carry on lol.
4. I'm grateful that summer weather is here! It's been very warm and sunny and all the sunshine is great for my mood and mental health. Keep it comin' Mother Nature!
5. I'm grateful for my creative gifts because they give me purpose and reason for life and hopefully I can make them a resource of money someday. I'm workin' on it! ;)
Last night was not restful at all; I was in so much pain in my arms and legs and I couldn't fall asleep until 3 am, when I finally caved and took ibuprofen. It was so random and weird, but I think tonight I'll rest much better. Tomorrow morning is my psychiatrist appointment which will be good and much needed. I always get a little nervous though; I get nervous around all medical people and situations. My grandma is doing much better, thank you for any well wishes! Pneumonia can be really dangerous and scary with elderly people, so I'm glad she's doing okay.
What's going on in y'alls lives? Anything fun and exciting happening this weekend? Tell me all about it! I'll see ya soon, take care.
