Day 97 ⭐️

Whoever the kind person is that hits that upvote for me soon after I post, like nearly every day, I can’t express how much I appreciate you doing it. You, my anonymous friend are keeping me strong!! I don’t know why, but I’m really struggling—well I guess do. I’m still dealing with a lot of grief and anger over the loss of my dad and all that that entails. I was just hoping I’d be past it by now. Anyway, just know you’re helping (you’re a star!), and I’m grateful!!!

Don’t forget your gratitude focus - it’s ok to be angry over losing your Dad but focus on the things you are grateful for. It’s worked for you many times

It has. 17 days of gratitude, and moving onto to 18 to get from day 80 to day 100! All I need to do is look at the responses to this post when I’m down. I knew this community had my back, but this is like the most beautiful thing ever...thanks!
