Today, Monday, February 17, 2020, it occurred to me to want to take the best care of myself.

Being self-destructive almost my entire life, for me to choose that shows me how far my healing has come.

I can only write one article today.

Today, Tuesday, February 18, 2020, I feel gratitude for all opportunities I have to build my writing career based on my life in healing recovery from alcoholism, child abuse, and domestic violence into a happy, content, fulfilled life.

I had a sleepless night, so here is my daily gratitude post for today:

Today, Thursday, February 20, 2020, I give thanks for how well my funny gratitude article did yesterday. It got the most claps of all articles I have published and in the shortest amount of time to boot!

Looks like I will be writing MORE HUMOR!!

Today, Friday, February 21, 2020, I give thanks for getting a good nights sleep last night after a fully sleepless night Wednesday night. Plus, I give thanks for not having to go to work anywhere; I can stay in and chill until my energy gets backup to where it usually is.

I needed a good nights sleep and I got it! When I woke up and saw the time, I thanked God for all the hours I got. And I even took an hour’s nap this morning.

What are you grateful for today?

I am adding the subtitle, so yawl have an idea what I am writing about here. Some of you have heard this story.

Subtitle: To be on the safe side, I hope you'll take a potty break first and swallow anything that might become an active projectile.

Today, Saturday, February 22, 2020, I give thanks this happened in my life because it brings me and anyone I tell it to much laughter and happiness!

I submitted this to a new ( new for me) publication I hope to write for. It's called Live Your Life on Purpose. Here: Live Your Life On Purpose – Medium

Today, Sunday, February 23, 2020, I give thanks for crying tears of gratitude because I feel better than ever. My physical energy is stronger and emotionally, my self-esteem needs yearning for years are being fulfilled through my writing and the benefits it brings to my life.

I never knew I could feel this strong and confident.

On February 12, 2013 I began my gratitude journey on my first blog here:

Recovery in Balance: Gratitude for 2-12-13

Being grateful brings me the most important healing I have had the privilege to experience.

I googled famous quotes on gratitude and got about 26, 700, 000 results. Here's one of them.

According to Melody Beattie:

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend."

Read more at: 366 Gratitude Quotes - Inspirational Quotes at BrainyQuote

So, being grateful is taking care of yourself, your soul, your inner you.

What I experience firsthand is my life is better every day. I have practiced daily gratitude every day for YEARS. My life did not change overnight, but I got to see up close and personal how my life slowly and steadily got better. As my mind healed, my life around me healed.

Plus, as it healed, that healing strengthens me every day.

As you love what you are grateful for, you love yourself. You slowly realize your worth and your lifestyle reflects that.

With every passing day, I am closer to being whole. I see improvements in my life every day. Some are tiny, but they are there. I feel them.

Also, you benefit the people you love and meet because your heart and soul will ripple out to touch their lives.

That alone brings me great joy that just gets deeper as I live my life happier than I ever knew I could be.

Please. Be. Grateful. Always. E.V.E.R.Y.D.A.Y

My writing on Medium about recovery and long-term effects of child abuse

Landon Clary Eason battles chronic fatigue, plus mental and physical illness daily, such as Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder ( Complex PTSD), forced upon her during her monstrous upbringing.

She is learning disabled and must pace her brain carefully through the day.
When it is tired, she must stop writing and do mindless tasks until the following morning, provided she got a good night's sleep.

Determined to earn her living through writing, her daily gratitude and sense of humor keep her going.

The new publication I submitted my work to published it. I am thrilled about that! I am submitting my daily gratitude to them, hoping I can get it to post on the current day. Otherwise, I'll post them on my blog and submit different articles to them. SO, for now, there is no active link for them.

Today, Monday, February 24, 2020, I give thanks for the wonderful night of sleep I got! I went to sleep last night around 7:30 PM.

I had to get up around 1:30 AM. I went back to sleep and slept until 7:30 AM. I give thanks I can sleep all the hours I need!

Beginning on Sunday, March 1, 2020 through today, Tuesday, March 3, 2020, I give thanks for having the strength to face the parts of myself I dislike.

I am combining the days because this process happened over these past three days. So, rather than drag this topic out, I am showing the process for how I manage emotions that get me down from when I feel them surfacing, through accepting them, and the benefits of healing those feelings.
