…that I put my mind to getting caught up on paperwork and that I had the energy to do it, to focus on it…

…for the rain today - it wasn’t snow! it must mean it’s truly spring! :smile:

…for the walk I had after the rain, and for the ducks and birds that are back and chirping away. Lots to say today, those birds…

…for the tunes I had on tonight - some pretty good company, those tunes…

…for axe throwing! and haircuts, and roof racks, and no cravings or hangovers, and 1st bday parties, and sparkling water yes! I’m also grateful that @apes2020’s home is clean and calm, just like her. :pray:

Trigger warning :warning: Much Much Gratitude Ahead
Could be contagious.

I’m most grateful to God that we made it to Santa Monica yesterday safe and sound. It was a rocky start with a few of the pets in the car. Lots of tense nerves including the wife. She only got bit twice by Alice. But she only bled once :crazy_face:
I’m grateful everyone seems all settled in this morning in their new surroundings. My wife is still asleep and I get my quiet time after feeding the dogs and clowder.
I’m grateful Minnie decided to sleep downstairs last night. The ride was a little rough on her. When I came downstairs this morning she was still asleep on the couch with her head on the pillow. I woke her up gently like a child. I’m grateful for the sweetest dog ever.
I’m grateful there is a shit ton of work to do here since we haven’t been to the condo in over a year. But it’s still standing and in great shape.
And, …I’m grateful I don’t have to do and fix everything TODAY. I do not have to do and fix everything here today. I do not have to do and fix everything here today.
I’m grateful I didn’t bring my little devotion book with me and I have Courage To Change here to read. And my reading was was about letting go of the need to do things by myself. And ask for help.
And I’m grateful for my reading on the Hazeldon Website this morning that told me “Easy Does It” thank you God for those reminders. Just the readings I needed today. Coincidence? I don’t think so! My God gives me exactly what I need. :pray:t2:
I’m grateful after the longs ass ride with the 2 dogs 4 cats and the wife and the back pain and the cramped pack crowded Highlander, I didn’t reward myself by getting all liquored up last night. No I didn’t. I don’t do that anymore. I rewarded myself with a nice fish dinner at our favorite restaurant and lots of Perrier and no stupid hangover this morning. Getting trashed as a reward is just stupid.
I’m grateful for white roses. I love white roses. I been sniffing them last night on our walk to and from dinner.
I’m grateful I literally stopped to smell the roses last night.
I’m grateful to God I don’t drink.
I grateful to God I don’t depend on booze.
I grateful I got to share parts of my adventure yesterday on here. You guys mean a lot to me :heart:
:pray:t2::heart:

The magic and miracles are in the sharing

Amen brother. Happy you are all safe and sound. :heart:

I am a very grateful recovering addict… it strikes me with awe every morning as I read everyone’s gratitude and tears start to stream down my cheeks. When did my hardness go away? I can not pinpoint a moment but that “numbness” and lack of feeling that I have had for so many years is melting away. It feels so good to feel that pure sense of happiness when you can feel the beauty of something with every part of your body. I have never had that before and I am so grateful I get to experience that now. I am grateful that I get some quiet moments in the morning before I get out of bed to check in with my body and acknowledge where it is at. I am grateful that today I will spend the day with my family and I will have no obsession to use, nor sneak away to be alone, nor deep inner feelings of resentment because I would rather be in my garage getting loaded by myself. Nope today I am grateful that I am free from the grasp of addiction and just for today I will take all advantages of my freedom and live my life to the fullest. I am grateful for the beautiful sun shining today its going to be an amazing day I can not wait to experience it.

I hear you! I moved in with SO in November. I left my own place and am renting it to my son. My new place is scary cluttery, but I am working on it!! I’ve known SO for 3 years, so it wasn’t a big surprise. But, lessons in patience and acceptance of his ways.

Today I’m grateful I slept about 16 hours yesterday and today. I feel well rested and … go to bed now :blush:
Grateful for delicious cooking on the weekend, nice talks with people I like. Grateful for grey weather - I stayed on my cosy sofa instead of seeding beans and corn. That can wait until tomorrow.

This morning I am grateful for my bed doona/comforter. Its cozyness makes me so so happy :heart:

I am also grateful for my legs. As they aloud me to walk across the road in my ugg boots to get my morning coffee to bring back home to be able to jump back in bed under my cozy doona whilst I enjoy some morning reading :heart:

I am grateful for time. As In mornings like this, I realize that I am blessed to be able to have so much time to fluff about and enjoy my mornings slowly , quietly, calmly. If I had kids or a partner, I wouldn’t be able to have so much free time to do as I please. So I realise I am grateful for time :heart:
