Even though I’ve got some worrisome issues with my health I’m grateful I’m not in pain and I am very mobile and I can see and hear. And smell the flowers. I’m pretty blessed with my health.
I’m grateful for TS and y’all here on this thread.

Today I’m grateful for my wonderful parents and the role models they have been for me and continue to be. They teach me about resilience, how to be emotional but reasonable and thoughtful, and how to live an intentional life. They support me in my sobriety and are nonjudgmental and loving. I’m better for having them in my life. :heartpulse:

Today I am grateful for:

  • This forum and the consistent support and genuine souls who are here.
  • finally getting to visit with my mum and dad in person this weekend. I hadn’t seen them for about 8 months, and I even got to hug my mum.
  • for furry cat tummies and purring.
  • for books, I love reading in bed, it’s such a great way to nod off.
  • for a 4 day week this week.
  • for planning on getting up early again tomorrow and doing some exercise before work. It really helps my mood.
  • for Netflix, what did we ever do before? I can’t believe there were only 3 TV channels when I was growing up. Crazy :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
  • for early nights
  • for thoughtful people, who’s kindness can take you by surprise
  • for managing to mend my iPhone charging lead, instead of having to pay £30 for a new one! I’m too mean to part with the dosh😂
    Happy sober bank holiday Monday everyone :pray::hugs::pray::hugs:

I’m grateful to see @Frandango! And read her post about cat tummies and hugging her mum. :relaxed:

I’m grateful I got myself better mentally prepared for this week, and I don’t mentally lose my sh*t as much at my desk and in zoom mtgs.

I’m grateful I can get along with people at work that I don’t really get along with, if that makes any sense. Grateful I guess that I’m learning to not personalize things so much (or at all - but that’s part 2 of this lesson!)

I’m still grateful for that amazing cantaloupe I’m working through… (@RosaCanDo I will get more of the seltzers and send you a pic!)

I’m super duper grateful for seeing @I.cant.We.can’s post of 500 days! That’s amazing, friend. You’re amazing. Your recovery, your willingness to volunteer and help out and support all the people in your real world there, and all of us in your virtual world too. I think I speak for all of us when I say we think the world of you… ya you. :wink:

Me? I’m grateful for another day, (and that this one is almost over! :sleeping:)

M, I looked high and low and found two other flavors available through Amazon. Your delightful flavor is not currently available here, and none are available retail near me, but I spent and arm and a leg ordering the other two flavors that looked good to me. What can I say? I love trying new fizzy waters. I’m grateful you shared that with us!

Today I am grateful that my knee is almost back to normal allowing for mostly regular activity (no hiking yet) and happy for my son that school is almost out. I am grateful for a new fresh week with plans of health and self care. Very grateful for my mom’s caregivers. Also, I have been listening to the podcast of a neuroscientist and he mentions that when we talk about or wrote about what we are grateful for, we release additional serotonin, which of course helps us to feel good and lower stress. So, all sorts of great things happening on TS.

Good morning,
Today I’m grateful for one more day off before returning to work. I’m grateful for the bicycle ride with my husband this morning, and the motorcycle ride with him yesterday. I’m grateful to be going to see my sister in a little bit- she is just the best! I’m grateful for the new little ferns I got from the nursery yesterday- I live in the desert so we will see how they fare, but for now they are beautiful!
I’m always grateful to see people on here, continuously finding something to be grateful for.
@Dazercat, I’m glad the “fixing” has started. For me waiting for things like that are often times harder than the doing.
Grateful for all of you guys.
Everyone have a wonderful day :heart:
