Gratitude thread.

Went to the 1000 steps yesterday. Was good fun. They even had toilets with toilet paper, soap and hand driers.

I'm grateful for the amount of shit I've accumulated. I was actually thinking about it last night - I've managed to gather a lot of stuff over the last 5 years. Before that I actually had very little, I had a $30 Optus phone and a rubbish bag with a days worth of clothes. That was all I had when I entered care in 2018.

Since then I've managed to get so much more than I could've ever predicted. It's really, really weird to think about. And even with the theft and destruction of a bunch of things, it hasn't really affected me much. I don't mean mentally, obviously it didn't feel good to lose my things, but in terms of everything else, I still have enough things that I'm able to do just about everything I want/need to do. I can still play my games and work on (some) of my projects. That's crazy too, and I'm really really lucky to have the amount of things I do

Some new sounds I've discovered for my songs.

I had a lovely lunch with friends today.

Winter strawberries from Queensland are delicious.

I'm grateful I can crochet, and keep myself busy and occupied while making something useful and often pretty.
