I agree @PinkyP about the sleep. What a difference in the way it feels throughout the day to wake up rested. It has an impact in every aspect of the day. So glad you are enjoying that too!!!

I love the colors. I have a similar one. I started to knit but I lack patience and the ability to count correctly. So, end of story is that my mother finished (tbh: did all) the work. :roll_eyes:

Iā€™m grateful to God I donā€™t drink.
Iā€™m grateful to God I donā€™t depend on booze.
Iā€™m grateful Iā€™m up very early before my alarm to get things done because of early doctors appointments.
Iā€™m grateful we had a lovely night out last night and I didnā€™t drink so I was able to drive home in Los Angeles :scream: completely :100: sober. And I have no hangover this morning and ready to walk the dogs by 7am.
Iā€™m grateful I didnā€™t have a sip of my wifeā€™s cocktail last night. I thought about it :thinking:. One lousy sip? I wouldnā€™t have to reset my counter just for that? It wasnā€™t even an urge. Just dumbass alcoholic brain thinking. What the fuck? No fucking way! And fuck that shit! So NO!
Iā€™m grateful I had fun last night drinking my sparkling water and lemon.
Iā€™m grateful for the fresh berries here. Especially the raspberries. They taste so fresh it brings back childhood memories from on the farm in Sherbrooke Quebec picking raspberries when I was 6 or 7 or 8 years old. You know how the sense of smell can bring you back in time to something you remember as a child. Wow :star_struck: Grateful for that.
Iā€™m grateful for TS and all you dudes and dudettes of gratitude.

I have been waiting with bated breath for this reveal and it was so worth the wait. I can see how much love you have put into this creation Marie. It will be a forever reminder of those initial days you had to grind through your recovery, and honestly I can not think of a better, more symbolic one. You have done a wonderful job choosing joyful colors and placing them in the perfect spots. Well done, thanks for sharing your creation with us I know this a very personal item to you.

Much love.
