Daily Gratitude List. Gratitude The Air Of Recovery

[Dazercat]

I’m grateful it’s Daisy’s turn on my lap. I’ve missed her warm purry chonkiness on my lap
I’m grateful my grandcat Boo made it through her dental surgery yesterday and pray the biopsy comes back negative. I’m grateful my niece/daughter is in the process of rescuing an injured outdoor orange cat, and acclimating it to vets and indoor life. And they’ve named it “Orange City.” I’m grateful the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. I’m grateful I’ve been through that hell and the reward sitting on my lap purring and bashing me made it soooo worth it. I’m grateful we can encourage her and help her with vet bills.
I’m grateful for kind people that take care of animals.

I’m grateful for my coffee.

I’m grateful for all the good stress and chaos going on in my life right now and how I’m handling it sober. I’m grateful for recovery slogans. Especially ones I don’t use much but it’s exactly what I’m doing. “Slow and Steady.” That’s never been my style. “Slow and Steady,” it’s kinda nice
I’m grateful I listened to my body yesterday and didn’t push myself to exercise or power walk. I did an afternoon medi and it put me out for almost 2 hours . I guess I needed it.
I’m grateful the affects from my second booster didn’t make me sick but could have explained the blah……urgh……feelings yesterday along with the stress. And I’m grateful I didn’t try and power through it.

I’m grateful Minnie’s pills did come in yesterday and I got her started on them today. I’m grateful I’m proactive and already got her next bloodwork appointment and ultrasound as they book up really fast around here.

I’m grateful during all this stress of moving and buying and selling and nursing 2 geriatric pets my wife and I work together like a well oiled machine. I’m truly grateful for the lady I married almost 39 years ago. I’m grateful for the exciting life with all its adventures, hardships and rewards and more new adventures ahead with her. I’m grateful for another slogan I might want to use with her “easy does it.” I know both those slogans been around awhile. It’s time to use them in this new phase of my recovery.
Easy does it, Gratidudes, slow and steady.

When I’m trying to hard to change things, when I forget to let go—when I demand too much, too soon, of myself and others, I’ll ask God to remind me that Easy Does It.

Grateful for the recent medical blessings. 2 days ago, the clinic told me that I was approved for an assistance program I forgot I’d signed up for, and I had 3 month’s of asthma inhalers waiting for me to pick up. And I’ve got appointments for both abdominal ultrasound and EKG lined up. So I guess somebody up there likes me!

Grateful I don’t have to cook when I don’t want to. Husband went out, I had leftovers. Grateful I love leftover mingle-mangle
Grateful for three enthusiastic, silly, roughhousing, purring, snuggling, acupuncturing cats. Today, home was cabaret all morning long.
Grateful I did’nt react on feelings today a lot. They passed and I was calm again.
Greatful for our cozy house and plenty of space to store the seedlings indoor overnight. It is too cold outside.

Soooooo get your feelings of the great build up, the distance of two people and made me think of my(primary feelings of sad n fearful for me back then), resentments and the whole slam fest as your awareness of past behavior that releases feelings but effecting others I really admire. While some details are different, Im GRATEFUL I keep staying to grow stronger and get to see others trying and even attempting to not lose their shit too! Thank you for your share.
