I’m so grateful it’s Friday and there’s a weekend ahead of me.

I’m grateful that I put plans in place to dial-down/switch up my work in the foreseeable future. (This week was just more confirmation that it’s the right decision!) I am grateful I have opportunities to do this.

I’m grateful for the feeling of expansion that sobriety brings to my life: a deeper exhale, more bandwidth and patience and tolerance - and more awareness when I don’t have these and need to retreat and replenish. Greater interest in exploring my interests, which I never had time for before. This doesn’t feel like “going without”.

I’m grateful for this place and the openness I feel to express myself here, and how supported I feel on this sobriety journey. I’m grateful for others’ words and stories to companion me on my journey.

M and D? Grateful for the phone. Remember the one that used to be attached to the kitchen wall? There was a good chunk of a decade I tied that thing up. Sorry about that. Grateful that Mom has a phone she can work most times now.

I’m grateful for another day. :orange_heart:

Even though Minnie stole my chair this morning I’m grateful she can still jump up and steal my chair. Apparently she was just warming it up for me because she got out of it when I got my coffee and finished pet clean up.

Happy Friday, gang!
I’m grateful:

  • that I did not have an adverse reaction to the vaccine on this occasion, just a slightly sore shoulder, like @Dazercat. Also, that the vaccination clinic was so well organized and staffed by amazing volunteers. It functioned like a well-oiled machine and I felt safe, even though there were probably over 100 people there in some stage of lining up, getting vaccinated, and waiting for 15 min afterward. Nicely done.
  • that the medication I am taking has gotten my blood pressure well within normal range and I really am feeling better.
  • That I am feeling the love with my husband, feeling in love, and loved. He says that now that I am feeling better, he is feeling better, too. He is not stressed out worried about me, he is able to focus on work and he says everything is easier and more enjoyable. We laugh together and have our silly jokes, we are affectionate, and we have dreams for the future. It is the best feeling. I feel like myself. Not sure what that means, but it’s true. I am so grateful.

Always grateful for the TS amigos! :heartpulse:

Grateful I had some insights this afternoon like a click. Maybe not new new but another drop, another piece I took and put in the right position. The body has to follow.
Grateful I felt my body talking to me and I was listening.

Grateful I fixed my toilet alone with the help of doctor YouTube. I love them. Grateful I did it.

Grateful tomatos, basil and thym is starting to grow. Waiting for bell pepper, chili and sth else I forgot.

Ah and I found the book again I am to read. It was/is at my mom’s and she is going to send it to me.
I try to be grateful I have to.
