What is one thing you are grateful for today?
Hey lovely Trauma Family 
What is one thing you are grateful for today?
Tell us below!
A cup of tea on a cool morning
Finally being able to access the outdoors with a new assist device. So excited to be mobile again!
Should i be grateful for still living? Idk... For them to leave me alone.
Cool evenings in the Fall and the beautiful clouds
that I find some kind of balance
@conscientiousPineapple1782
Happy to know that someone's finding a sense of balance in life. Balance is one of, if not thee most important things for us to seek out. Some are fortunate to have it for a very long time being given to them through awesome circumstances while others continue their lives struggling to create it. Whenever I hear or read someone stating that they've manage to find some sense of it, it all always warms my heart. I'm still currently sailing through these immensely rough seas to find some peaceful anchoring point, but I know at some point it'll show its beautiful smiling face.
Cheers, and please do hold onto it while looking at ways to possibly elevate it even further.
Im alive. Today is a new day, a gift. Im here on this earth to enjoy today!
I talked to a friend about previous trauma and a past suicide attempt today. I am grateful to have people who I know will always be with me through thick and thin. I am grateful that I chose to be alive.

This may sound a bit strange coming from a total stranger, but I am HAPPY that you decided to choose life. Continue to see the bright side of life that is coming your way for making such a significant decision. I've been wrestling with quite a bit recently even looking towards said desperate "exit" away from it all, but I'm always being reminded through life experience that there's a reason I'm here now going through what I am. To help bring happiness to others when I can while also being hardened through the roughest of situations.
Cheers & Blessings Serene, and again, I can't emphasize enough how happy I am to see someone choose life and all of its beauty (even its expectecd craziness at times) moving forward.
My late best friend CM, and I will do what I can to continue her legacy by reaching out on 7 Cups and during my meetup events here in Chicago to those who are feeling down and need a friend.
CM never met a stranger ...
My mom.
I have yet to stop fighting the battles inside my head.
@alphabetsoup03
Perhaps the problem is that you're fighting them alone.
