Daily Gratitude List #2 (Part 1)

I KNOW!
I was just reading around to end my gratitude with a nice gratitude quote and just came across it. I feel like I should end all my posts that way.
Have a great fun week off with the kids.
Plenty of snow up here to play in :snowman:

Today I am grateful:

  • For a forecast of snow tomorrow that includes rapid melting over the couple days following.
  • For the melt in your mouth scallops we grilled last night, and that I got to show my husband how to marinate and then grill them along with shrimp. They came out perfectly, and I am grateful the meat counter had such high quality seafood options for us. I am grateful that we had a marathon cooking prep session together in the kitchen and it went smoothly. I only got irritated a couple times :face_with_hand_over_mouth:
  • That I didn’t let my hurt feelings and self pity on Friday night derail the weekend. When I was drinking, my emotional regulation was pretty much non-existent and it didn’t take much for my mood to turn sour and continue to spiral downward for an extended period of time. Thank goodness things have changed, and I am grateful for sobriety and the balance I feel now.

Always grateful for my TS amigos! :heartpulse:

Good morning everyone,

Today I’m thankful for two months of the most legitimate reprieve from my insanity that I’ve ever experienced.

I’m grateful for the variety of perspectives that each of you bring into my consciousness.

I’m thankful for day I got to spend with my brother and my parents yesterday.

I’m grateful for the brown grass that I can see peeking through the snow.

I’m thankful for the seeds and trees that I will be planting soon.

I’m grateful for the telemeeting I had the opportunity to attend this morning.

Hey @RosaCanDo, I missed your post about Friday, but I’m kinda struggling with some bad feelings after my husband drank. I’m happy to see that you didn’t let it stick with you. I’m still working towards that!

I’m not grateful it’s daylight savings time. I’m grateful I’m not all worked up about it and throwing more cranky attention at the situation than it deserves. It’s a beautiful day, regardless what (stupid!) time it is.

I’m grateful for progress I see in myself, including accepting that I am human and have flaws (and can sometimes be cranky! :laughing:) and even just traits that in some cases work well, and not so much in others. I’m grateful I’m learning just to see this and sit with it, instead of try to get it out of the way with wine.

I’m grateful for the putter-y day I have planned, working away on lots of little things at an even pace, and a good long walk planned this afternoon.

M and D? today feels like there’s less of you, and that makes me sad, but that’s only because there was so much of you, and it was so good. We had good lives, and I’m very grateful.

I’m grateful for another day. :orange_heart:

Grateful I found the motivation to tidy up my cellar, so some order there. And punishing that pushing ball was really good.
I realised that I already have some kind of sponsor in my life. She actually qualifies for this and I know her from the 12 steps clinic I was I some years ago. We talk about everything and have a good spiritual basis together. She can calm me down, she can let me sob and cry on the phone talking incomprehensively sobbing. I am grateful to have her in my life.
Grateful I talked to my grandma although I was shocked from her state of mind compared to last week. She was completely unoriented. Made me sad.
Grateful for some good, entertaining movies on this rainy winter day.
Grateful I am tired.

Today I’m grateful that I can sleep in tomorrow as I’ve finished three first shifts and now are heading for three second ones. . Grateful to my sister for receiving me and feeding me and having a good open talk about lots of stuff. That has been rather different in the past. Grateful she lives close by so I can bike home in ten minutes and be home before our 21:00 curfew. Grateful to come home to this community where I can read, share and feel at home for a bit. Grateful to all of you and grateful for my place, my bed and my little cat. Love.

I am grateful to be sober and working on self-improvement in some form daily.

I am grateful to God for giving me the strength and courage to stay on course.

I am grateful that I am becoming more familiar with my feelings and emotions without using substances. I wish I hadn’t run from them for so long as processing things this way actually feels better and genuine. It also helps to show me that I am stronger than I thought I was. :two_hearts:
