Once again I am blessed to have my forum family. 
Hubby is home now - on oxygen 24/7 - so I'm grateful that he's well enough to be home. Only time will tell how well enough he is to stay home by himself.
I am blessed to have the support of my execs, team leaders and other special people at work. I have had a few melt downs whilst hubby's been away...people ask me what it is that I need at times like that. Much appreciated.
I am grateful to have my little dog, who has been great company.
And I am eternally grateful for the company of, chats with, and safety and support that I've received from my friend Andrew, who reminds me he is only a phone call away if I need anything. He has always been kind and considerate and gentle, and constantly checks with me that anything he might say doesn't trigger me. He reminds me that he is not going anywhere and he'll always be my "brother." I've never known support like this.
I am grateful for the soothing rain that is pouring with abundance presently ☔️😀
I am ever so grateful for the special love I share with my husband that knows no bounds. His love heals all the hurts bouncing off me as his pure love rights the wrongs done.
I am grateful for the laughter, good times and care of my special friends who grace my life with their presence and making me feel special. 💜❤️💜❤️
I am grateful for all the above gifts enriching my life and give thanks everyday - it's what really matters and is what makes me smile each day. I am so grateful for the good people in my life and in the world as they light up the dark keeping me warm 💗
Hi @Shaz51
Have been offline for a while and am only catching up with some posts now.
Hope you're ok....we've had a bit of rain here but its warming up to a tropical sort of day.
I don't know that hubby's cognitive skills are good. With all his medical conditions-and with him now being on oxygen 24/7-I am concerned for his safety, especially as I work full-time. This morning I sat down with him to verbalise my concerns and outline various care options we can consider...he just gets grumpy with me and wants to blame me for everything that is going on for him, and is terrified that I want to dump him in an aged care facility...I am working on my own mental health issues and am not prepared to sacrifice my own well-being to care for him 24/7. He lashes out at me because I live with him and know him best.
Yesterday three of his sisters visited (they live interstate) and it was a lovely surprise for hubby to catch up with them. Hubby had booked a flight to make his last trip interstate to see his mum. His specialists advise against travelling, so I'm not sure what will happen, he is so stubborn but will do whatever he likes. Apologies for ranting so much!
Gypsy helps calm me down. She is a 13 year old jack russell/maltese cross. We adopted her from the animal welfare league last year. She is a constant in my life. So much of the other stuff going on feels like walking on egg shells.
I am so grateful for the person I am today and for my independence. I am thankful I pushed through those really dark times and still went after my personal goals and dreams, as although they took time whilst weathering the storm, they now have become a reality and I am so close to the pot of gold.
In my experience relationships are real when face to face for me and I am grateful for that deep genuine bonding.
I am grateful for the real people I connect and bond with each day and activities I enjoy by facing my fears with self belief by getting out into the world. I am grateful I no longer doubt myself and that I like me. My conscience free. I am grateful for living life to the full making the most of it and for the people I meet along the way who enrich it. They are real, they are gold.
