Gratitude #1 via /r/gratitude

First of all, I’m grateful that this subreddit exists, I just got it recommended yesterday. I must admit that making a post instead of just a diary entry feels more motivating.

Today I‘m grateful, because…

1. I have a loving, supportive family. They are so patient with me, even when I’m being annoying sometimes.
2. One of my brothers motivated me to finally get my blood checked again, which was really needed. Even though he‘s busy with a wife and kids and lives in another country, he still took the time – it’s awesome how much he cares about all people in his life.
3. My sweet friend wrote me a lovely message today and invited me to go swimming as well as sharing a fascinating story from her life.
4. I booked a massage for Tuesday and am looking forward to that – this is a first.
5. The new med that I got prescribed has allowed me to fall asleep around 11pm instead of 4am. I also have not had bad side effects so far.
6. I stopped nicotine a week ago and so far it’s been going good.
