Gratitude check – March 30

  • I can drink coffee again
  • This week I’m learning about the birth of stars, and it’s lovely
  • I found a fidget cube in my house and it’s keeping me sane
  • Boots
  • The immediate relief from the pain that is so constant that I don’t notice it anymore, when I found some aloe vera gel and put in on the evil daemon acne from hell
  • Muffins. Banana walnut, specifically
  • Suez canal shenanigans. The memes have been truly excellent.
  • The existence of little people
  • Neurodivergence in all of its forms, because the world would be a flat and colorless place if it weren’t for the people who were born to see things differently.
  • German past participle words. Those are nifty
  • Water pressure in the shower
  • Walks with my dad
  • House
  • Radio broadcasts
  • Spiders who don’t mind taking a short trip from the ceiling over my bed to the outdoors
  • Beeswax candles
  • Every person who has ever taken the time to make a text post about the way mental illness shows up in their life and makes things difficult, because that little bit of “ah, okay, this is a thing that happens to other people” is insanely reassuring
  • The friend who doesn’t mind when I send dozens of memes at a time
  • The friend who doesn’t judge when I talk about stealing plastic turtles from a gift shop, multiple years ago, in a different state
  • My phone. This place to go and rest and watch TV or look at cute things that make me laugh at 3AM when everything seems bleak
  • This space to write
  • The sound of birds outside
  • A place to rest in the sunlight
  • Did I mention this fidget cube? It clicks and makes other satisfying noises
  • Daffodills
  • Cats
