Grateful to pick up my husband from the train station and having a nice evening conversation.

I’m grateful it will all be okay, because it all always just is.

Grateful I had a not-rushed morning, and that when I arrived at work, those of us there (we are on a rotating home/office sched) actually took a coffee break – chatted and visited. Not to get political, but we’re all worried about the state of covid in our province, the mismanagement. I took zoom meetings from home this afternoon. The wind was strong as I drove, pressing on all sides of my small car. The sky was shades of grey scale, clouds colliding vigorously. I walked the dog girl (and the dog of a neighbour who is isolating) quickly in the rain after work, all of us navigating the deadfall that crisscrossed our trail. Home to watch a news conference, and we’re back in a state of emergency and a lockdown. This is needed and responsible. Still, I’d take a virtual hug or two…

I’m grateful for my health.

I’m grateful for my wee home that I love being in, (and yes Capricious Capricorn, taking care of).

I’m grateful for my job, that I can work from home.

I’m grateful that working from home meets so much of my introverted needs. I’m grateful I have neighbours, colleagues, and friends I can reach out to when I need connection – oh, and the gratidudes, of course. Connection in real life and – thanks to technology – virtually.

I’m grateful I can afford healthy groceries. A pass for zoom yoga classes.

I’m grateful for all the creature comforts I have. My fave coffee beans! Ordering books to be delivered to my door! Lavender-cedar bath salts. I lead an indulged life.

Turns out I don’t have a damn thing to complain about.

I’m grateful to be sober. I’m grateful for another day. :orange_heart:

I feel so grateful today!!!

I am grateful for the school program that I have my child enrolled in. I am grateful for my recovery and the fact I am in a place emotionally, mentally and spiritually to homeschool her. She requires quite a bit of support around her schooling as she has learning difficulties and I am so damn grateful I am able to provide her with that today. As much as having chronic pain sucks I am grateful that it means I am home with her all the time. It means that she has a stay at home mom who can focus 100% on her and that is exactly what my child needs. I can’t express how grateful I am for that.
I am grateful for humility, faith and trust. Those are the three things that got me through my share last night. I am grateful for creativity, art, music and cool ideas. I am very grateful for all the fun I have with my parents, we are a crazy bunch. Grateful that I get to spend a whole day traveling with my kiddo on Friday, have dinner with the ex and then a late ferry home. But today I think the biggest thing I feel grateful for is the realization I had a week or so ago in regards to how tightly I was holding onto control of my ED. Since then I have just come to a place of acceptance and have just let myself be. Although I am so far from good, I can feel balance inside. I am so grateful for that.

:pray:

Good late afternoon, all.
Today I am grateful that I could get lots done in work. Being on top of things is good for my mental health. It was a busy but productive day. So much more productive for being sober and clear headed.
Grateful that it’s a beautifully clear evening.
Grateful for all of your shares, but also grateful that I don’t need them as keenly as I have on other days. Still like ‘em though.
Grateful to feel settled and calm.
Grateful that it is Thursday for me. It’ll be weekend this time tomorrow. Weekends rule.
Have a great day, all.

This morning I am grateful for our kitties and pups as this household wouldn’t operate with the same joy without them. One kitty didn’t come around during feeding time and usually he is the first in the kitchen and actually wakes me up knocking everything off of my nightstand. As aggravating as that can be, when I couldn’t find him, I panicked. Turns out he was “busy” (since we’re on the topic of cat poop) and when he appeared I felt more relief than I can describe. Turns out these guys are truly our family and I am so incredibly grateful for their cuteness and quirks. I’m grateful for the rain and for access to the gym during days like this.

I am always grateful for you all, your thoughtful shares, this forum and community. Happy Thursday!

I’m grateful on the mornings I think I don’t have much gratitude, like today, seem to be mornings I go on and on about what I’m grateful for.
Gratitude is a beautiful thing. And so are you. Ya you!

I’m grateful that I successfully navigated 2 triggers last night with ease. I’m grateful the my first babies for keeping me company when the kids woke up all night. I’m grateful to be clear headed and fully functional to handle to take care of the kids when they had a rough night. I’m grateful to work from home. I’m grateful for a warm shower. I’m grateful to feel like my mind has shifted and I have a stronger directive and clearer motivation this time. I’m grateful for the present moment

Grateful being sober. Grateful for coming in for this thread.
Grateful for having accomplished 3 days of my new morning routine. I do shower starting cold as it takes a bit of time to warm the water :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:, then some yoga and then guided meditation. The funny thing is that the girls sit or lie down and listen as well. Apparently they like his voice as well.
Grateful for a quiet evening ahead. Grateful it’s Friday tomorrow. I am a bit stressed about the interview on Monday but I’ll see that.

I’m grateful for our public transport system that takes me to and fro therapy in another town. Grateful for therapy helping me deal with my stuff. Grateful for being sober so I could go and do therapy in the first place. Grateful I’m home, now the public transport through the whole country has come to a standstill due to unclear circumstances just as it is unclear how long it will last till it will run again.
Grateful to all of you that together make this place what it is, a safe place for me, a place that helps me live my life sober and clean. Grateful I can feel love. Love you all.

Day 39 and grateful for my weekly woman’s group meeting tonight. Internally I get so intense and hyperfocused on staying sober but then I get to this special once a week meeting and my ladies help me see things as ridiculous and funny. We don’t minimize the intensity of our disease, but through our shares, see that addiction is addiction is addiction - regardless of who is experiencing it, and for that I’m grateful. :blue_heart:

Good evening all,
I’m grateful that yesterday was my husbands birthday and his brothers came over to celebrate. I’m grateful that sobriety gives the the flexibility and grace to roll with the unknown, unannounced punches :laughing:. I’m grateful that it’s almost the weekend! I’m grateful that the morning temperatures have dropped just the slightest bit- maybe cooler weather is coming after all. I’m grateful that I have a home, a family, and to borrow a line from @anon74766472 , I’m grateful I have enough.
Everyone have a wonderful evening :heart:
