I am grateful for my friend. She gives me my meds when I am too tired to get them myself, she listens to me when I am talking nonsense, she helps me with my homework, she grants my silly requests for hugs or compliments.

I'm grateful for my Dad. He drives me nuts, and can be really unpleasant, but he comes through when I *really* need him.

I'm grateful for the lunch he took me to earlier today. I needed a bit of social interaction and he understands a lot of what I'm feeling.

I'm grateful that I've got people who will talk to me.
I'm grateful I've got people who listen and respect me.
I'm grateful of the fact I'm able to access a school laptop like this and be in 6th Form studying like this.

That's about it, but that's more than enough for me.

This quarter I get a parking spot instead of having to park all the way out in the field and tromp across the muddy track to get to school. I can wear some frigging sandals without ruining them!

I'm grateful that I finally have some medication which seems to be working.

I am grateful that even though my Daddy's gone, I still have my mum and my brother.

I am grateful for my friends, who I love and couldn't do without.

I'm greatful for the guy I'm seeing. For once I feel like I can trust another person. He said he wants to see me happy.

I'm also greatful for my job in a nursing home. When I see how I'm doing something to improve their lives, it gives me a reason to live.

i'm grateful for the fact that no matter what the few good friends that i have right now haven't given up on me.

i'm grateful for the fact that i can see myself making a full recovery from SI, because that way things will get better.

I am grateful today to have a book that is really distracting and I can't seem to put down. It really takes my mind off things.

I am so grateful for my girlfriend. She has been such an amazing friend. I don't feel I deserve to have someone like her in my life, but obviously, someone thinks I do. I've been putting everyone through hell lately, yet she still stands by my side and is always there. I don't think I could be any more grateful for her.

all this bitter pain
See you move in ways
beyond our days
In devotion I linger
And with drained veins
I falter again

I'm grateful for my sweet boy, I don't know what I'd do without him. I think he saves my life a little bit everyday. I'm happy that he says he cares, and helps, and has been much much better about letting me know he's proud. Tis sweet.

I'm grateful that I have a roof over my head.
And a stereo and lots of cds.
And a job.
And, finally, enough money to afford the things that make life comfortable.
And a lovely partner.
And a pretty kitty who (I think) loves me.
And a toaster.
And people who care.
I'm grateful that I woke up this morning and saw a beautiful frosty world out there.
