Imagine living close by and having to evacuate because your building could collapse too. What a nightmare.
^so true. And sad for the people who have to live through an accident like that or not even make it out alive.
Im happy to be alive and doing well.
Im keeping my most prized friendships and leaving the ones that don’t serve me.
Im also thankful L is doing what he can to be a good man. I know I ranted about him not being rich with money but I am confident that we are abundant now and will continue to grow financially

#grateful for the groceries I bought at Publix this morning. Decided to be bad and got myself two slices of chocolate mousse cake.
Making salmon, stuffing, saute spinash, and buttered mushrooms today for lunch and dinner. I love #hoemade meals. #blessedhoe #wellfedhoe #hoemade

I posted this in the Poop thread because it came up, but in all honesty, I am in LOVE with my new Squatty Potty!
I got one too and really like it.

Very grateful I can afford Brazil nuts. They are pretty awesome for thyroid health, have lots of nutrients, and fill me up. These little things make a big difference.

Lavender incense for the win! I feel like some incense sticks are way too strong. This one is kinda my favorite for now.

I am grateful for MUSIC and the INTERNET/COMEDY (Such as my favorite comedian D.L. Hughley) to get me through the rough days.

A side note to this ....
I can not WAIT to see live comedy again. I feel like it's one of the most awesome date nights or outings. I love it so much !

S and her girlfriend stopped by to give me flowers today 😊
Blue and white chrysanthemums… my absolute favorite. I have no idea if they knew this (or how). Grateful for not just them, but the other who’ve lived with me, as well. I didn’t come back from the war in a good way at all, and they’ve given me what I needed and was seriously lacking, which was something to care about. That’s really why I pushed to get this house, ensure we can live comfortably, etc., not for the sake of pursuing Mammon. And they’ve really been what’s kept me going, and why I haven’t stepped out of the hallucination.

Same same. I just got doing my budget and I have a month worth of already set aside in my checking. Most people live paycheck to paycheck-not if you’re stripper bitch…lol.
Super happy about my new health insurance. I’m going to the doctor’s office as much as I can.
Totally agree Carmen . I’m going to make it a point to listen to comedy more often. I’m picky about my content though.

Godfather is still alive and well. I haven't seen him in probably 5 years now so it was nice to see that he's still with us, active and vibrant as ever, even if he's getting up there in age. It was only through a halfway rolled down car window that we spoke but that's better than nothing.

Man, the last couple of days have been so chaotic and stressful, yet I'm surviving it all and maintaining my routine.
Just when I start to worry or doubt that my future plans will manifest I see signs everywhere...like just now: I came here to feel the good vibes and express gratitude as I'm so worried, but look at the page count. It's 222. Gonna let go and let God.
I'm grateful to have time. It's relative this is true and it can feel like a lot when you're on the right track. I'm very thankful.

I had diarrhea yesterday and got sent home from work until my covid test results come back. I hate it there, it makes me stressed AF, anxious, unhappy and burnt out, so this is a good thing. Pretty sure it happened due to some chicken I made the night before that tasted “off” despite being fully cooked.
I guess this should go in the poop thread lol but I’m so pleased with my good fortune that I thought it belonged here.

I’m headed back home.
I’m looking forward to it which is how I know things are going mostly smooth and right. :)
I have had phases in life where it’s been quite the opposite on return trips and I've literally felt like there was nothing worthwhile to return to a place for.
Gratitude.

I'm a little ahead with money, even after splurging on some things in the last week. The rest of July at work, they're paying double overtime, so I'm gonna take advantage of that hard. Since I took the day off, I was able to see the notification for OT on Monday the second it came in since I'm not working with my phone in my pocket. I snatched it up before anyone else could.

Grateful for the discipline my father (retired Navy) instilled in me. What he's taught has enabled me to sit in free chat when it's dead AF and wait for the big fish. Thanks Dad.

L’s relatives helped him get a house
They are super kind and helpful and fixing it up so it will look good.
I’m thankful after YEARS of renting, this is the first step towards investing in real estate

An after sunset swim, half an edible, and some cuddles with my dude yesterday.
I was on one ( PMS related plus a long drive the day before to get back home) .
It was our first day we can seen each other since Monday.
I couldn't get my head in the game sex wise so he just snuggled me so much. :)

A friendly dog came over to the kids and I and let us pet him. I was looking for its owner but didn't see anyone. It followed us for a while until I seen it walk to a house and lay down on the porch so that must've been its home.

I'm grateful that I am on an upward trajectory. I have another podcast interview about my near-death experience and am excited to promote my book on the subject.
Just wanna take the hand I've been dealt and do something good with it. Kiddo and I have been through enough. We deserve stability and a good life.

Grateful for sunshine, hasn't rain all day. Hoping it stays that away and no hurricanes.
Praying for people in Miami. The other half of the building will be demolished before elsa gets here. I can't imagine being told you have to pack and leave asap.

I’m glad L bought me some items that the landlord might charge for otherwise.
He took me to workout. The place was nice and the instructors and everyone else was nice n helpful.
He also agreed to give me half of the money we make after we sell the house even though he put up the initial investment money.

Really grateful for my heart. It's pretty strong and can put in work then recover fast. I'm sure it's a combination of genes and training, but whatever it is I'm really grateful for it.

Same. I just a bought a Victoria’s Secret robe. It’s so soft! I spoiled myself. I didn’t buy anything during COVID if i didn’t need it. Now that I’m making money again, I went to VS semi annual sale. Got a bunch of cute outfits. I still have clothes from my late 20’s. I’m way too grown to be wearing that stuff. I got some sexy grown ass woman clothes. Cause I’m a sexy grown woman…LOL.
Also, found a sex worker therapist in network! She has a weekly woman’s group. I’m excited to start therapy and meet like minded women.

Grateful Verizon let me delay the payment.
Also grateful that the house I am renting a room in stays nice and cool. Unlike that shithole I used to live in. That room would get so damn uncomfortable. So glad I didn't remain complacent and moved.

I'm making him a roast , pan fried potatoes, and veggies today to return the favor as he is always feeding us.

Thankful my capsules came today! Finally.
Thankful for Internet from my quality smartphone encased in fine Italian leather.
I really am blessed with such luxuries just considering how many people in another position don’t have access to it.
