I'm thankful for a warm home. With humility and gravity (and respect for the homeless): I would most likely freeze to death if I did not have a home.

Recently I made a post in the prayer request thread. Some kind of rambling about how I was slowly going insane, or something. Well, God has turned [thing that was driving me insane] and is now making it work out for the best, for everyone involved! Only God. ONLY GOD.

So I mentioned here before that I have some minor anger problems in real life. Today I wanted to "voice my opinion" about something and held my tongue. There's a LOT that I could say (/yell) to this person, but knowing it never gets me anywhere, I decided not to. In the past I wouldn't have made a decision like this. I would have just decided "it should be said, so it WILL be said". So definite thanks and praise to God for helping me grow in this way. And not just with this, either, but everything in my life in general. God is continually pruning branches in my life and helping me improve.

I am grateful for your prayers.
In other news, I want to be more grateful. There are many reasons to work on being more grateful, and just one is that I think it will give me more joy.

I´ll always be grateful for the family God gave me, but today I´m thankful that God forced me to go out and meet with a dude about forming a doom metal band. As always I had a feeling that I wanted to skip on the meeting but I did go had 2 beers and a great talk with this dude. It probably wont be a "christian band" but if everything goes well I´ll be the vocalist and lyricist so yeah God is great, also because I was out of my home God kept me away from porn & I´m VERY grateful for that

Yesterday I had a terrible headache when I returned from work. Couldn't stand light and even the softest chill-out-music sounded like a major construction site with included nuclear war to me. Waking up today, the pain was not all gone and I still felt a bit of dizzy in my head. Though I decided to go to work. As the day moved on, the pain went away almost completely. I`m very grateful for that! I'll be able to enjoy supper (I might even cook it myself ) and feel more like a human than yesterday.

Managed to get through the company christmas party today. We went to an indian restaurant and before that we had mulled wine at the local christmas market (do you say that?? "christmas market"?). In the past I wasn't always so happy to go there. To be honest I skipped the christmas party the last two years because I tend to not feeling well in company of all my colleagues. But today it was okay. I think most of them think I'm a weirdo, anyway. And after all they are right, because I am a weirdo.

at the local christmas market (do you say that?? "christmas market"?) I just looked it up. "A Christmas market, also known as Christkindlmarkt, Christkindlesmarkt, Christkindlmarket, Christkindlimarkt, and Weihnachtsmarkt, is a street market associated with the celebration of Christmas during the four weeks of Advent. These markets originated in Germany, but are now being held in many other countries." I've heard of things like that. I've never heard the term "Christmas market" but apparently it's the correct one

I had some CD Baby, BandCamp and Orationem Website payments all come in within a few days of each other. I feel like a real store today! XD XD
I'm very grateful for the support others have shown toward my art. I'm definitely grateful to God for the ability and drive He's given me.
Not sure if anyone thinks about what artists do with their income, but I set my "music money" aside to do two different things with it: - pay it back into my project somehow, so it continues to grow - pay it forward in the CBM scene somehow, so it continues to grow
Praise God!

I've heard of things like that. I've never heard the term "Christmas market" but apparently it's the correct one I needed to look the english term up as well. "Christmas market" sounds like a christmas edition of wall street or something like that

I am grateful that my use of melatonin last night work well: I got to sleep on time, woke up on time, and had a good rest. (I'm pretty sure melatonin actually only affects the first thing in that list, but I've fooled myself into ascribing the lattermost effect to it in the past when I had poor sleep on it.)
I'm grateful for good coffee. I had a great cup at a cafe yesterday. The cup I made at home yesterday and this morning were better than usual as well. I might post in the coffee thread but for some reason I freaking suck at making drip coffee, so it was nice for the last few cups to not suck.
I am grateful for good music. I'll probably post in the album listening thread but yesterday I enjoyed almost all of Max Richter's 8.5 hour Sleep album; it is cool that such a thing exists.
Also in my own habit tracker life record excel sheet I am trying to include a daily written note on something i enjoyed or something for which i was grateful each day, as well as something about myself that I like that was relevant to that day. One small step in trying to roll back the depression and self-dislike.

I foolishly backed into a a lot of snow and the car got stuck. Got to work shoveling, prayed, and God got me out.

Grateful that God takes negativity and uses it as a tool for our benefit.
That through all of the hardships I face in life (predominantly mental, but occasionally physical), God is constantly forming me into a stronger person, shaping my mind and spirit, teaching me, refining me.
Both because He loves me (Hebrews 12:6, Revelation 3:19) and because... all this is serving a divine purpose! As happy as it makes me to contemplate that my existence is important to such a MASSIVE deity, I'm also glad to know that these things won't only benefit me, (as if my heart were some kind of endless pit where blessings just fall down and never serve a higher purpose,) but that the effects of all this will bear fruit in my life -- going OUTWARD to influence the world around me!

↑ this. This little ball. So much win. Who would have thought that a 3 pack of "hand therapy" balls for $8 at Walmart would work better than anything my primary doc has offered for a solution with my hand woes. I go to start work Saturday, I'm typing, and getting zapped by my first pointer finger on my left hand. Oof. I start fussing with this ball in my left hand. The best way I can describe the sensation that happened seconds later is more zappy, but less hurty.... and then it was gone. ...and I wasn't even thinking about my hands that day at work. I'm definitely grateful there is a solution for this problem!
