This.
I used to be so busy taking photos I actually missed everything. I am glad you got some time to absorb the beauty and I hope that your mood has lifted some.

I love this whole post. Your ability to hold both sadness and see beauty/feel gratitude, at the same time. Itās āboth/andā, not āeither/orā.
I echo Stella Bella - I hope your mood has lifted and that your cod trip is a peaceful, roaring success

I am grateful that I went to bed and woke up sober.
I am grateful that when my kiddo came in at 6:30a, saying the car battery was dead, that I popped out of bed, not hungover or lagging but eager to get that kid to work on time.
I am grateful that I am posting here even though the day started to go south, because thirty minutes of bad does not have to equal an entirely bad day.
I am grateful I turned my camera on and shared in my TLC meeting. Showing up, taking space, being real.
I am grateful that my older kid is coming to the house and I will not hold resentment that she has not been communicating with me (even to tell me she was coming over today).
I am grateful that I have solid skills and that only I can decide not to succeed.
I am grateful that I can acknowledge that nothing is conspiring against me, except me.
I am grateful that I can do better, at this moment, in this hour, on this day. Better is all I have to expect from myself, at least for now.
I am grateful, though I struggle, that I can acknowledge that regret is a pointless expense of energy, better spent in pursuit of doing better.
I am grateful for you.

I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful that I have a work to make my living.
I am grateful I have everything I need right now.
I am grateful I can talk openly with my brother.
I am grateful my body is healing and I donāt rush. There is no way of rushing the healing anyways. (I will start a leg 30 days challenge to keep me a bit occupied)
I am grateful to acknowledge nice people do exist.

Today is day 365 aka 1 year sober. And I have so much to be grateful for but let me keep it shortā¦
I am grateful that finding my sobriety has also enabled me to find myselfā¦to know myself and love myself just a bit better.
I am grateful that in stopping drinking I have also stopped destroying myself. Because face it that is what drinking does to a lot of people.
I am grateful for steps I have taken this past year in terms of improving my health - losing a bunch of weight, eating, sleeping, exercising so much better and regularly. Getting to the dentist, getting my eyes fixed. Those things have been key to keeping me on the sober path this past year. Things I pushed out of my mind and desire to take care of while being a drunk.
I am grateful for getting out of the box that drinking packed me away in. I have revived some old friendships and made new ones. Iām grateful to them.
And, Iām grateful to TS and all of you out there around the world sharing your struggles and successes. Iām pretty sure I have not missed a single day spending some time on here reading. I donāt post much, but I truly appreciate and have gratitude to those that do.
Getting to the end of the first year. Watching the counter tick closer to this day. For me It is really just the first step. I do not want to go back to where I was just a year ago. Iām going to keep on keepin on, folks. With gratitude.
Bye for nowā¦

I am grateful for my faith
I am grateful for friends this might sound like a little thing but I sent a text to five guys and all of them got back to me not normal for me
I am grateful that I worked Saturday night. I did cashier at a country music concert it was Kenny Chesney and George Strait if anyone likes country so 40thousand or more people. I was on the club floor serving hotdogs burgers and beer. And one of the guys that returned the text I brought up was working next to me and we kept an eye on each other. That night I made over 400.00 in tips on top of my hourly for 12 hours work. Christmas for my kids right there!
I am grateful the director for the sober house I live in wants me to be a house manager at one of the houses
As always I am grateful for you

Good evening, all.
Iām grateful for all your posts today. For some reason that I donāt understand (outside of the obvious), I have been romanticising the idea of drinking over the last couple of days. I was feeling so secure before. Iām grateful to know that I need to get back to what keeps me sober - reading and posting in here, with gratitude.
Iām going to drink a couple of pints of water.
Take care, all.

Iām grateful to God please help guide me today while remaining clean and sober. Iām grateful for my recovery. Iām grateful for ALL my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. Iām grateful that I slept. Iām grateful I have coffee. Iām grateful that I can have tough conversations with exes, parents and sponsees and do my best to listen, let go, and give advice when needed. Iām grateful that, when I take the time to think about it, I understand these people arenāt telling me there problems or asking about mine to burden me, which is, does and can happen, and so, as I just mentioned, I need to re-learn and re-focus on letting it go and not owning their problems as mine, even the ones I have played a part in, its the past just let it go and let God. Iām grateful to know that in part, the struggle in this very moment is that Iām tired, four hours mainly listening on the phone last night till midnight, then texts at two and seven thirty am. Iām grateful that I slept in between that time unfortunately she has not and I am concerned the last time this happened she ended up in the hospital. Iām grateful for the twelve steps, prayers and meditation. Iām grateful for music and exercise. Iām grateful for daily readings. Iām grateful to have been given the tools and strength to help myself and others. Iām grateful to be aware that it is ok to take a break when I need it. Iām grateful I left my phone on in case one of my Job opportunity calls. Iām grateful that even though the calls and texts so far today have nothing to do with work they are even more important so says my higher power, thatās what I believe. Iām grateful for all of you gratidudes once again.
God bless you all. &
P.s. Donāt forget to smile and breathe, maybe even dance. It feels good. Ya you!!

Good Morning Brian 
Iām grateful when I see a gratidude on here when I log on. I always think itās funny youāll be long gone by the time I finish my list. Proof read it. And then read it again. 
Before I forget, Iād be grateful to see @TripnMN I pray you are well. Maybe Iāve just missed ya. I hope youāre still with us.
Iām grateful I donāt drink and do drugs. Ya drugs. Itās been so long I never mention it. But I canāt even imagine doing drugs or even that I did. Thank you God for your protection or guardian angle or whatever when I was a young stupid shit. Iām grateful I survived all that.
Iām grateful for all my blessings.
Iām grateful for my little bit of a new routine yesterday morning. Without it I wouldnāt have discovered the Sumatra Roast coffee beans that I didnāt need to buy. I forgot how much I loved them. Maybe itās just the cool name. But Iām grateful for my coffee and the smell of it bringing back memories from my twenties. Itās amazing how a smell can open the floodgates of memories. I guess thatās why I posted my survival of drug use from my twenties. 
Iām grateful for my buddy Larry that I havenāt seen forever but every once and awhile we like something of each otherās on Twitter.
Iām grateful for Twitter because thatās how I found him in Ireland 
who knew?
Iām grateful for warm things like my beanie, hoodie, blanket, The Ol Burner, and fireplace going this morning. And my little wooly half gloves I wear in the house that my wife makes fun of me for
It makes me wonder if itās possible to have a SO thatās always the same temperature as the other. Iām always the cold one. 
Iām grateful for all my readings this morning. One seem to tie into the other. I never thought I was vane and conceited but the way it was explained to me, by some of my actions, it explains a lot. I guess it explains my extreme sensitivity and Iām not the focus of everyoneās actions. Iām grateful Iāve been getting much better at that since I been sober. But this morning it was kind of an aha! 
moment.
Iām grateful my split pea soup was gorgeous yesterday. Grammy would have been proud of me.
Well not really. She probably would have said āitās just soup.ā Coolest lady ever
Iām grateful to be able to share here with yāall.
M? Letās go get another one shall we
