Collection marking the end of a chapter yesterday

I'll do one for yesterday first:

I had my stuff collected by the council today. I'd paid for this, but it's worth it and I'm grateful I can afford to.
Not ONLY did a broken chair and two broken fans get taken, (I have a small fan that works well so for now that's sorted) but also something related to these last 2 years. Back in 2023 I had to relearn how to walk. I spend most of the year on this. Anyway, I had things in my room related to all that for a while. So I'd see them. I think it was in January that I donated my walking stick and crutches to the hospital and this shower stool and step to the local charity shop.

Yesterday I saw something else related to the whole thing, that I'd been seeing every day be taken away for collection. I don't need it anymore. I love that I don't need it anymore. I was literally thanking the person from the council from my window with tears streaming down my face. Tears of gratitude and joy.
I'm extremely grateful for all my having to re-learn how to walk journey has taught me and everything good that happened then or because of that. BUT I am SO freaking glad I am NOT there now. I don't have my full mobility back yet, but I can get my city now on a good chunk of the underground trains and any buses and even though I still have issues, I CAN walk. AND I have a bit more space in my room and I now don't have any more visual reminders of the injury, complications etc.

I'm also grateful for my nice dinner I made. I enjoyed it. They won't all be as dramatic as this, because sometimes it might be so called smaller things. I saw a thing saying "Big things or small, I'm grateful for it all" on Tenor or Giphy, or saying something very much like that. And so sometimes it might be birdsong I type about or other things like that. Anyway, thank you for letting me share.
