I am grateful for my therapist. I don't have a lot of friends due to narcissistic abuse. I've isolated myself to the point where it's very difficult for me to let new people in. My housemates are nice, but I just remain cordial and friendly and not really get involved with anyone. It sucks because I do want friends, but I'm realizing that I have to love and prioritize myself first and set boundaries with people. It's all part of self care.

I'm also grateful to have my writing as an outlet I'm about to start my third draft of a book that I'm writing and it should be out in May 2021. Hopefully it'll help people. And heal my own life in the process.

Same here. I'm grateful to have a roof over my head and a car that works
When covid first started happening last march, I had to move out of the place where I was staying due to a toxic narcissistic roommate. And then my car broke down. So basically I lost my job at the club, I lost a friend, my home, my car, and then my ex boyfriend got a DUI and flipped out and ran off for months. So I had to borrow my kids car to do grocery deliveries. Finally got my unemployment money, got my car fixed and a place to live near my son . Every morning when I wake up feeling healthy, I thank the universe. For my health, for my son's health, for my car, home, and food and clothes. I don't need a lot right now, just the basics. Right now it's important to keep life simple. Because this whole covid thing can get very stressful and overwhelming.

Grateful to my parents for loaning us some money. We have to pay for COBRA for 3 months, because hubby is switching jobs and insurance takes awhile to kick in. I know I can make the extra money for it out of pocket with overtime, but making the first couple of payments would have been a struggle. I'm glad that, although I'm fiercely independent and try to never ask for anything, I know they are there for me if I do swallow my pride and ask.

Also, so grateful that my older fur-baby's bloodwork came back great this week. A month ago, her creatinine in her kidneys and calcium was elevated. And I could tell from her poop that she was obviously very dehydrated and not eating enough. I got her a drinking fountain and switched her to wet food. Now, her levels from re-testing are totally normal. She has normal poops, is eating a lot, gained some weight back, and has a very shiny, healthy coat again. She is my absolute BABY out of all 3 of my cats, and my world will crumble the day I have to say goodbye to her. So I'm glad that it looks like that won't have to be any time soon.

OMG! That’s horrible. Glad you’re okay. Yes it’s good to keep it simple in stressful times. I’ve gone through similar periods in life. Keep on keeping on. You’re a strong woman. You can’t keep a strong woman down.

I’m grateful to be single. I bitch and moan about doing everything myself, but thank god I don’t have a piece of shit boyfriend or husband. Men are seriously dogs. You can be loyal and almost perfect, and new pussy will fuck it up in one night. I have a lot haters cause I cam and I’m single, but what’s the alternative... settle down with some loser who takes me forgranted. No thanks. My life is pretty good. A lot of those rich people with perfect families aren’t happy. I’m good on my own in my small apartment with my cam job. Camming is pretty empowering. Rather than settle down with some man who takes me forgranted, i can drain these men’s wallets. Fuck the haters. I love living life on my own terms. Even if it’s scary and I don’t know how I’m gonna make it I’m happy being true to myself. Fuck the noise. If most women could do what I do they would do it. It’s actually an act of courage as a women to live life on your own terms. I’m grateful I’ve made peace with my past. I’ve had to deal with so much trauma because I’m sex worker. But you know what we get to define ourselves. Fuck the haters. I’m surviving in patriarchal, hierarchical, and capitalist system that does everything it can to keep women in their place. Fuck that and fuck anyone who judges me.

Grateful that my friend from the community coming here after her husband died turned out well. I think back to the day they arrived here and how difficult that was. I went with my sister and the Amish girl to meet them at the airport, and it was overwhelming to see her for the first time in so long and to see her children for the very first time, especially in the wake of what had happened to them. And I explained to her that there were a couple ‘English’ girls living with me, and they might seem a bit different to her. And I remember when her son first saw S, he asked her for a glass of water in Plaitdietsch, which she didn’t understand, and so she was standing there looking baffled while my sister explained to him that S is English and didn’t understand him. So he looked at my sister for a second, looked back at S, and asked her the same question. So my sister told her what he was asking, and S smiled and got him a glass of water. Which I think made things much easier for him, to have a friendly face in the ‘English’ world he could identify, and I’m also sure he developed a crush on S, especially with how he’s always eager to show off to her how much his English has improved since. And we stayed up late just talking about life and death and everything in between. She actually cried when she saw how a bunch of complete strangers put together all the tools she needed for her bicycle repairing job, and especially with everything my old roommate had purchased for her. And that’s also when I learned he’d spent over $3k on that stuff, for someone he’s never met and doesn’t seem intent on meeting, just because she was a friend of mine. And that’s also what made me wonder if he was going suicidal, as they have a propensity to give things away before they carry it out. And everything was permeated by this air of uncertainty and I was left sleepless that night wondering if I might have led her into a bad decision. It would be one thing to make those for myself. I accept what happened to me in Afghanistan as something I deserved and brought on myself with the decision I made. But leading someone else into one - especially with children involved - was definitely not okay. But things worked out. People I knew helped her get government assistance to get a hand up, the one bouncer at ,y club practically gave her a car, one girl who was living here got a place with her to help her offset the cost of rent, and she’s really been working hard to change her stars, as it were. So I’m definitely grateful for all of that. So even if it’s too late for me, it isn’t for her. And maybe it all even helps me feel like I’ve earned some degree of atonement for myself, even if know things can never be fully washed clean.

I'm also grateful that my housemates cleaned up the kitchen and made it look really nice. I don't do much cooking at all, as the microwave is my friend, but it was really nice that they did that. Especially with covid-19 on, nobody wants a dirty messy kitchen. And it's nice cuz I vacuum the hallway and clean the bathroom often. Thanks roomies!

Lol reminds me of my day. A day of cleaning, running errands, car washed, bought candles, clothing items, and jewelry. I was starting to feel REALLY burnt out for weeks (plus someone who was toxic in my life made it worse). Nothing is more rejuvenating than a day off for completing my obligations/to-do list and ending it with self care while smelling a clean house with candles. I never buy clothing so this was a big deal.

Grateful I got a house without a HOA attached to it. I border two phases of a residential development, and each one has a separate HOA. And while I did have a resident of the second one complain to me about the radio aerials I have and my ‘abundance’ of decorations for Halloween, it wasn’t until this past weekend that I’d heard anything from the HOA itself. I received a packet encouraging me to join. They do have a really nice clubhouse and pool. All the same, no. I also know that some of the younger residents of that phase refer to the head of their HOA as “Super Karen”. Oh, well. It was nice to look at the photos, but they need not waste my time.

Part of the reason I got my house for less money than other offers is I did inspection for informational purposes only. But the sellers are still taking care of big items, removing tree roots from pipes under the house and repairing the roof so I should at least get a couple of years in the house before needing to deal with it. Second and final deposit is due this week and then fingers crossed it should only be a waiting game until closing.

**I developed a phobia of having my blood pressure taken ever since the whole pre-eclampsia nightmare experience back in January**

I have been struggling with taking it, triggering an anxiety attack every time I put the cuff on. Today I was finally able to take my blood pressure without having a panic attack. It was 129/83. I took it again a couple hours later and it was 120/81. I'm grateful to see it at that instead of the 160/90 and 170/100 readings when I was in the hospital.

There’s something to be said when an EDM fan makes the effort to learn the lyrics to Iron Maiden songs (because that’s my “happy music”) just so they can sing along with me when we’re going somewhere together in a car. It might seem silly and maybe a little off kilter, but I really do think it’s absolutely wonderful.
