Yeah Bootz, you snuck that right in! Congrats on 500!
I’m grateful for a relaxing day. I’m grateful I don’t have to make dinner. I’m grateful my home is cleaned up, laundry done, and I’m ready for whatever blower brings to me tomorrow. In theory anyways. I’m grateful to be looking at my finances and refiguring some things. I’m grateful for my husband, my kids, and my dogs and crazy rabbit.
Everyone have a wonderful evening❤️
@Callie99 , how ya doing? I feel like I haven’t seen you, but very possible I missed it.
@M-be-free49 , glad you got some time with your mom, and some time to yourself to recover from the trip.

Today I am grateful to have eaten heartily, to have had the energy to make a massive restock grocery run before bad weather hits (especially after a night of no sleep), and to have been able to send some late Christmas gifts off in the post to friends and family. Better late than never! I’m grateful my energy maintained fairly well through the day and I made us lunch, kept the kitchen clean, and did other odds and ends around the house. I’m grateful for the occasional photos I get of my niece as a pleasant surprise and that her face makes me smile, that special little girl! I’m grateful I am planning a solo drive down to Kentucky in early spring to stay a while and just be a Tía/Auntie.
I’m grateful I got in a bit of a spazzy second wind mid morning and did a massive and needed pruning of my beefsteak begonia, then knowing I don’t have room to propagate all those lovelies, I put a message out on the local plant lovers Facebook group and within the hour all of the cuttings were claimed and all but one have been picked up by their new mommas! That was such a cool experience. I’m grateful to connect with strangers via shared passions and experiences - much like TS! I’m grateful my mood has been steadily improving and that I am doing my best to do the work in that area. Hard work, at times! Other times, not so hard, just that getting back to basics I mentioned before. I’m grateful for minimal pain today! So grateful.
I’m grateful to see this community rise to the occasion and greet and support newcomers and returning members, alike. To hold space for each other, even folks who have been here need that sometimes. I’m grateful to everyone who has reached out to me when I’ve been griping about my headspace. It’s so appreciated.
I’m grateful for the beautiful winter sunset tonight. Grateful for you, amigos.

Good morning, all.
I am filled with gratitude today. Can I be grateful for that? Grateful for all the gratitude? Well I am, so you obviously can. 
Grateful that my 24 hour headache has disappeared. It was still there when it woke me up at 3am, but it was miraculously gone by the time I woke up this morning. Perhaps that’s the root of my contentment - but whatever it is, I’ll take it, because it feels good.
Grateful to be feeling more positive about the journey that we have ahead of us. Covid tests tomorrow. Leaving at 2am on Friday. All of the border checks and paperwork during a 24 hour door to door trip. The continuous stress that a positive test or a missing piece of paperwork could undo it all. Tired kids and tired parents. The prospect has been causing a bit of anxiety this week, but for some reason I can feel myself leaning into it this morning. We are extremely fortunate to have two lives, in different worlds, that we love. Time in France is magic and we don’t want to leave, but our lives in Singapore are also great. It’s where our friends are and where our real home is. Looking forward to being back there. Grateful for all of that.
Anyway, enough of me.
Grateful for all of your posts. They certainly got me moving in the right direction as my first endeavor of the day. There is magic in this thread.
Well done on your 800 days, @Dan531. Apologies that’s a bit late in it’s arrival. I’m trying to be better at that. I’m also terribly sorry for your loss - but I don’t know you so well, so I didn’t feel able to comment.
Love and good thoughts to the rest of you gratidudes.

Checking in spontaneously because I’m grateful. Grateful I spent time with my husband this morning and enjoyed it. It’s good time when he didn’t drink the day before, it’s nice, he is nice. Bonus: We bought a new desk for the new homeoffice in the new house. I’m grateful I can rest now because I’m tired and have a bit of a headache. Grateful for my cats also resting on me. Step after step, otherwise I’ll again feel stressed. That’s not always easy but I’m grateful I can take my time to do things my speed, no need to hurry or overdo. At least not today!. Grateful fot this

Why is gratitude so much more difficult than apathy or ungratefulness? The negative comes easily without prompting. The positive is needs nurturing and tender care to come forth. The minute you stop tending it, it withers and the negative springs up unbidden. ~ sigh ~
I am grateful for this forum of kindred spirits. I am grateful for kind souls like @Dazercat and @SassyRocks who helped me suss out an issue yesterday. I am grateful to be sober with no hangover today. I am grateful for the joy and strength I get following others sober journeys on here.

I am grateful for life lessons and opportunities to work on cultivating a growth mindset as opposed to a fixed mindset - challenging the neural pathways I’ve spent years building in my brain that keep me stuck in negative thoughts about myself and my worthiness, and that my purpose is something external, constantly doing for others and not leaving space for doing for myself. Then numbing the shame, guilt and resentment through whatever means…used to be alcohol and just shifted to the next thing and the next. I’m grateful for previous therapy and re-reading eye-opening texts that help me learn how I got to where I am, where I was, and that I’m open to doing the work to shift these patterns in my thoughts and actions. I hope this isn’t coming out as all gobbledygook! I’m grateful for a gratitude thread where it matters less what the thing we’re grateful for is but more the practice of identifying and expressing gratitude.
I’m grateful for some decent sleep last night, waking up without pain, and for plans today to avoid the bitter wind chill and continue putting my house together post-holiday. I’m grateful my partner gets just as psyched as I do to rearrange our furniture 
It’s one of our favorite activities and definitely a challenge in this tiny house. I’m grateful that when I’m in the right mindset I love “nesting,” making my home comfortable and tidy. I’m grateful I have what I need to repurpose some leftovers and bake a pasta dish for dinner.
I’m grateful for daydreams. For opening my mind to possibilities again. I’m grateful for art, for craft, for makers and for making.
Grateful for my amigos here.

I’m grateful that my wife is still sleeping, getting her first decent sleep since Christmas Eve. I’m grateful to be going back to work tomorrow, only for 2 days and I’ll be off again. I’m grateful that i have this place to come to when the wheels are falling off. I’m grateful that even during the really hard times drinking never sounds like a solution. I’m grateful for all of you.
@Bootz congratulations on 500 days, sorry I’m late

I’m grateful I’m 2 years and 4 days AF.
I’m grateful I’m keeping my counter on the year counter instead of days. For a little while.
I’m grateful I’m so fucking proud of myself. I love seeing that 2 year mark when I come on. It never gets old. And it makes me feel good about myself.
I’m grateful for that first pull on the coffee where it’s just the right temperature and you can get in a good glug to jumpstart the old bones.
I’m grateful the Ol Burner is on my lap. Minnie’s in bed by our cool contemporary fireplace. My wife’s alarm going off but she keeps hitting snooze. More time for me alone in the morning.
I’m grateful when Daisy bashes me in the face when I’m leaning over the coffee machine when I’m trying to make coffee first thing in the morning. I’m sure she just wants kisses. It’s not that she’s hungry in the morning 
She just loves her daddy. 
I’m grateful the Christmas Holidays are over too but only because I get the beach to myself on my evening walks, there’s hardly anyone there, and there’s PARKING around here.
So I’m grateful it’s off season in Santa Monica, or maybe it’s COVID, or the combination of both, but the crowds of people here are much smaller.
I’m grateful for our nice dinner out last night. Again, they weren’t busy. Usually this place is hopping crazy with beautiful young people dressed to the nines and we usually feel old and out of place here. But they got great food and a view.
I’m grateful for all the new people joining in on this app trying to find their way through recovery.
I’m grateful for all the regulars on TS and all the old timers. I’m grateful for the people on here that I have become close to that have been around as long as me 
One small positive thought in the morning can change your whole day.
