Feeling: Grateful
Sometimes I don’t know how to express my gratitude with the way my life has turned out. I survived against all odds- from my dangerous days on the Internet to my suicide attempt. I’m so grateful I have my parents in my life. On Intervention or even in the hospital I’ve stories of parents deserting their children or not being supportive. I am so glad I am able to write poems again. If I was standing I would fall to the floor with gratitude because it makes me so happy. Tonight I have a poetry slam with a new group. Before the slam I’m meeting up with ___, ____ and ____ for food. Literally on the way home from Aunt Jeanette’s on Christmas. I had a moment where I was completely overwhelmed with gratitude. Right now I’m in my room, bathed in sunlight, two kitties on my bed.

My life has really found it’s course. I am starting to accept mental illness will always be part of it but also that there are many things I should be thankful for. My ability to write and explore that gift for writing. Last week I won my first poetry slam. I’ve been getting published and taking classes. I’m so grateful I’m creative, that I have so many art supplies and projects I’m working on. I’mn grateful for whatever higher power looked down and make me so lucky.
