Gratitude: Resilience

ITS DAY 8! Dual blog post 😁

How is your gratitude going? How was your week? I hope you are learning about yourself in every way possible. One more month in the year and it’ll be 2025! Friday was rough. I won’t go into details, but it was a draining day mentally. 🤯

On top of everything, I felt like I couldn’t talk to anyone about what was going on with me and that felt very isolating. Sometimes when I am overwhelmed I start internalizing and get stuck in the sludge that is my emotions.

While I was in the stillness of my emotions, my brain remembered my friend R calls me her “resilient friend”. When she says that it makes me smile, it reminds me that I can do anything, and it’s okay to put down your cape and cry, it’s okay to feel what you feel. You will push through it and come through the darkness to see the beautiful light.

I am resilient. I have resilience. This is only one day. My emotions are just now and won’t last forever.

It’s hard to know what will come next when you are in emotional sludge.

I am grateful for being a resilient woman, and for friends that recognize my resilience when I can’t.

Emotional sludge can blind you. 😂

Tomorrow is a new day ☀️

Next Saturday is our ONLY Whiskey & Talk for November! 🍹

Gratitude Day 9!

Support

Nine days of gratitude! We are over halfway over with the gratitude event. I feel like I will blink and Thanksgiving will be here. 🦃

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend…let’s get on to my gratitude!

The gratitude for today is support.

Don’t we all need support?

A hug, a talk with a friend, a therapy session.

All of the above.

Via is my biggest form of support. I cannot think of a time when she was not supporting me. When I went to school in UCO it was weird not seeing her every day, but even 100 miles away she still supported me. I slept in today and I think resting in bed helped my mental health. Getting rest reset my mind and I felt more at peace about my feelings.

Good days, bad days we all need support.

Support to lift us and let us know we are okay.

Support to make us realize how beautiful our light is.

I am grateful for support and my personal support system. What are you grateful for today?

Tomorrow is day 10! We got this!
