Daily Gratitude List #2 (Part 1)

Today I am grateful…

…for the clean, wet, heavy snow that fell last night, and the early morning walk with the dog girl. Once we got past the main walk, our prints were first on the path - except for the deer tracks that crisscrossed here and there…

…that I’m getting better at setting boundaries (with not-so-close-friends, with work people, with work, etc) that are good and healthy for me, and that I don’t feel as bad I used to that I have “let others down”. Learning to do and be me, and set my boundaries with kindness, and let others do themselves.

…for the week I have ahead and the little projects I got started on yesterday.

…that I got my hair cut and highlighted (to welcome the greys!) last week. After 9 months! and a few failed attempts and rescheduled appointments.

…for fellow gratidudes and all of the support to be and stay sober, to work on my recovery.

…for another day. :orange_heart:

I’m grateful to God please help me be better today than I was yesterday. I’m grateful to God please help me stay clean and sober just for today. I’m grateful for my recovery. I’m grateful for my family, friends, TS and all you gratidudes. I’m grateful to be relaxing at home today. I’m grateful that there’s all kinds of sports to watch from the comfort of my couch. I’m grateful that even through some pretty serious back pain today I’m still trying to stay positive and not mask or ignore the pain. I’m grateful for music and laughter.
God bless you all. :v:&:heart:

Today I’m grateful for coffee and that the sun is coming up earlier these days. I’m grateful that I had a lazy day yesterday, even though I felt I SHOULD be cleaning or working out or whatever. I needed to rest and feel better for it. I’m grateful for TS and especially this thread.

Have a great day x

I’m grateful to God I don’t depend on booze.
I grateful to see new people post here @Frandango it helps reinforce the gratitroops M? @M-be-free49 :thinking: the more gratitude the better.
I’m grateful I don’t need a reroof.
I’m grateful the roofing guy showed up on time and saw me with a mask on and he pulled up his bandana to cover his face. He seemed so nice.
I’m grateful I just made a decision to not stress about other people wearing or not wearing a mask. I’m going to wear mine. If they work in my house though I’m going to ask them to please wear a mask.
I’m grateful my window cleaners are coming today. We’ve had to reschedule a couple of times because of snow. I love having clean windows.
I love having clean floors too. I’m grateful I’m learning I don’t get to have clean floors since I have six fur baby shedders. This has been very hard for me.
I’m grateful for the long ass conversation with our best friends from Austin last night while we ate dinner. We had Chicken Shawarma they had pancakes. WTF :flushed: they’re weird. We love them. :heart:
I’m grateful for my long walks with music. I had my oldies playlist on yesterday. It was so cool and memories from the 60’s and 70’s kept popping up. I’m grateful I’m such an old fuck. :scream:
I’m grateful I still got that part of my memory. What I had for lunch yesterday? Who the fuck cares!
I’m grateful for my attitude adjustment the last few days. I’m grateful I know that the feelings come and go and I don’t need shooters of schnapps to adjust my attitude anymore.
I’m grateful for all you Gratidudes on here whether it’s a part time pop in or a regular shift. It works if you work it and you’re worth it. “Ya You :facepunch:@I.cant.We.can
:pray:t2::heart:

It’s not happy people who are thankful,
It is thankful people who are happy.

Today I am grateful…

…that I woke up hangover- and headache-free, after drinking tea late into the night and beating my iPad against scrabble. But hey - the day didn’t go according to plan and I needed to let loose a little! :joy:

…that I, too, am learning to chill more about the floors. I like to think I’m so “breezy”, but in truth, I’d like my floors to meet the standards of a yoga studio or a surgical suite. Both. Talk about setting myself (and the dog girl’s paws) up for failure. Yep, @Dazercat, I’d take the gritty, hairy floors and the company of our shedding pals any day.

…for the day ahead and the fun little projects I’m gonna get up to. With breaks.

…for my little home and the time to take care of it.

…for my family of friends, long-time friends, and for the gratitroops, yes! and TS pals - sober soul friends, really. Sharing this essential part of our journeys, supporting each other, and really seeing the rich potential in each of us.

…for another day. :orange_heart:

ps even if I don’t tell you you’re an inspiration to me? you are. ya you! :wink:
