gratitude balancing

[serafaery]

should say that the owls came back to the cedar tree tonight

the moon was stunning, close to full

all of the crows! so many crows.

the sky was sunny and cheerful and beautiful all day.

josh walked with me to drop off my orders and get coffee in the afternoon chill.

it's so cold but i have fuzzy sweaters.

xmas lights cheer me up.

there is a lot of beautiful food in the kitchen, i got a massive load of groceries tonight, so grateful for the nourishment. josh loved what i cooked for him, today. (sweet potatoes stuffed with black beans, sauteed veggies, and organic goat cheese)

turkey bone broth should be ready in the morning.

i overate but it was mostly either harmless or substantially nutritious food choices, and it was pretty darn tasty, i need to heal after injury so this is okay.

i have a safe warm cozy bed to sleep in.

there is a lot of love in my life.

and dancing.

I hope today is better! It sounds like your body knew what it was doing in eating to get over an injury. Big sympathies for your pain. Pain days are awful, the way the pain takes your attention away from everything else. I'm very impressed with the balancing post. What a good idea! I must start to do something like this myself.

tysm! When my life was substantially more difficult I developed a very robust daily gratitude practice, it really helps in moments when badness feels overwhelming, to remember that there is still also SO MUCH GOOD - my life is SO MUCH BETTER than it used to be and I am seriously grateful every single day and try to make time to express this in words, it's important, like, maintaining some sort of sustaining magic spell or something, ha.

Pain in the arm is still really bad but the rest of my body feels a lot better today, I think the food was needed, I tend to restrict calories when I can (as I also have a tendency to binge/comfort eat at times and it needs balancing) but I'm guessing that's not a good idea when an injury just occurred. Thanks so much for the well wishes! I'm definitely happier today if nothing else :)
