Sooo grateful for all this gratitudeā¦
Just a little sidebar story: we are back into lockdowns here, and as I was listening to the politicians and dr.'s and everyone on the news talk about how these variants just spread exponentially, like nothing else - I thoughtā¦
ā¦hmmm, no - gratitude spreads like that. Even more and better! Just plant it and watch! Oh, and practiceā¦
Grateful that we share this practice. Grateful for all of you.

Today I am grateful for the great night of sleep I really needed last night, a job that I can work from home in the latter part if the day allowing me to do ālifeā first, for quiet times in the morning where I can reflect and breathe and set my intentions for the day, and for my cats and dogs that are amazing buddies, healers and protectors.

Iām grateful to God please help me be better today than I was yesterday and to stay clean and sober. Iām grateful for my recovery and that it continues to evolve. Iām grateful for my family and that we are going to try an online game night this friday, at least my sister and I canāt toss a virtual monopoly board. Iām grateful for TS and the gratidudes. Iām grateful for my friends which includes my housemates. Iām grateful that I slept well and woke up early. Iām grateful that I got to see most of my housemates this a.m. being up early. Iām grateful Dylan is back home and we can get back to walks and bike rides and not just hanging out at home or Wayside.
Iām grateful for humor and laughter. Iām grateful for music and the nature music channel that I like to play off the t.v. in the morning, i find it Zen. Iām grateful to God. Iām grateful that I have my 12 step working group tonight and that we will be sharing our stories on making at least one amends this past week (guess I should do that today) I have been procrastinating ā¦surprise 
God bless you all.

I am grateful to God I donāt drink.
I am grateful to God I donāt depend on booze.
Iām grateful when Iām walking the dogs at night in the city I am sober.
Iām grateful Iām forgiving myself for being so stupid and dangerous those years staggering around city blocks with my dogs late at night so they could get in their final whizzy.
Iām grateful Iām not hungover this morning.
Iām grateful Iām up early before 6 getting my little routine done.
Iām grateful when I walk down to the beach for my walk there arenāt many people around. Unfortunately it is very sad because I think it is totally because of this pandemic. May is usually a hustle and bustling time of year with many tourist pouring in. Thereās an erie feel to the place which I cannot explain otherwise. I pray people will do the right thing to keep themselves safe and think of the other people that you can keep safe. And that people in new lock downs or restrictions hang in there. Stay sober and do what ever it takes to beat this COVID.
Iām grateful we went to the grocery store yesterday. First time since March 2020 we been in a grocery store buying our own groceries. 
It sucked!! I feel like I am learning new things being out and about these days.
Iām grateful for all the precautions restaurants are taking over here. Like no condiments on the table no table tents with drink adds. Nothing at all on the table. Even some of the tables are gone to space diners out.
Iām grateful Iām fully vaccinated and Iām cautiously optimistic I wonāt get sic and itās not a big deal to wear my mask. Now, remembering to have it with me is a big deal 
Iām grateful for another beautiful sober day in Santa Monica. And Iām just not going to drink today. No Iām not!
Gratitude can have such a powerful impact on your life because it engages your brain in a virtuous cycle. Your brain has only so much power to focus its attention. It cannot easily focus on both positive and negative stimuli

Good morning family.
Today I am so grateful for the newcomers. When I first came into the rooms of Narcotics Anonymous I didnāt understand why they said " the newcomer is our most important member." How someone with 30 years clean time and someone with 1 min clean time could be important to EACH other. I get it nowā¦ very clearly, and I am grateful for that.
I am grateful that I finally became pliable and willing to learn it took a lot of suffering and failing on my own and many years of having āgiven upā, but eventually I came around. I am proof that nobody is a lost causeā¦ probably mostly proof to myself.
I am grateful that Marie is back and that she has stacked up 4 long months of recovery under her belt. Very grateful for that.
I am grateful that today Annie will be groomed, I will try to get before and after photos of the beast.
I am grateful that my back is not sending shooting pain down my leg today it is just a dull ache which is tolerable.
And lastly today I am grateful for the sunflower my parents bought me for my little buddah garden, I smile everytime I open my blinds.
