Gratitude list 06/12/2016

[flamingsword]

I am grateful for the celebration of birthdays as an excuse to celebrate people. For sandalwood, and chocolate, and peppermint humbugs, which are delicious. I am grateful for books, which are a different kind of delicious. I am grateful that I can pick up where I left off with my friends before I started hermitting, as long as I don't leave it too long. I am glad that I no longer need the tramadol now that I have both sets of nerve medication. I am grateful for both sets of medication.

I am grateful for the relative availability of mental healthcare in modern times, that so few of the people I love have been locked up or committed suicide. I am grateful for systemic change, that may move slowly but the rising tide of which lifts all boats.
