Happy Friday Eve 
I’m grateful that I didn’t have to scroll far to find the gratitude thread.
I’m grateful I spent lots of time in the sun today and I’m feeling a bit better every day.
I’m grateful I had a conversation with my mom and it didn’t turn emotional.
I’m grateful for my mom.
I’m grateful that she raised me and my brother on her own.
I’m grateful for all the sacrifices she made for me.
I’m grateful she always believed in my dreams and supported them. Always.
I’m grateful she taught me that true character is how we treat people who can do nothing for us.
I’m grateful she always exemplified that.
I’m grateful that although we are much different people that we love each other unconditionally.
I’m grateful tomorrow is pizza night.
I’m grateful for my new sneakz . 
I’m grateful I’m working on letting go.
I’m grateful for nature and that it’s warm here so I can go outside.
I’m grateful for candles and meditation.
I’m grateful the past few days I’ve laughed so hard I’ve literally cried. I missed that feeling and it has been coming back.
I’m grateful I’m silly.
I’m grateful to have you all in my life.
Have a good night gradtidudes

I saw this earlier and thought of my mom
You really don’t realize it until you get older, I do now. Especially the last few months.
I am feeling better today, which is good because I’m going back to work Saturday 
I’m grateful you checked in on me the whole time I was covid girl

This is so true and you’re realizing it much earlier than I did. It’s only going to strengthen your relationship with your mom. 
It was hard on me to have my first two babies while I was still a teenager, but I’m truly happy now that it worked out that way. I didn’t have to wait too long for them to realize I was a kid when they were little.

Morning,
Today I’m grateful to be able to drive my daughter to work at 4.45am and then take our chocolate lab on his morning walk.
I’m grateful it’s Friday and a long, tiring working week will soon be over. Tiring but satisfying. Pizza tonight I think.
I’m grateful to have a pretty relaxing weekend coming up, catching up with jobs and getting ready for the week ahead.
Have a great day x

Good morning gratidudes and thank you all for your sympathy, it means a lot to me! 
I’m grateful I woke up and the headache is minor to almost gone. What a relief. I’m grateful for the beautiful colours of dawn I watch from my cozy bed. I’m grateful my old boy is in good condition - I can tell that by him vociferously miowing me out of bed at 2.30 am because he was starving to death 
I’m grateful it’s friday. I don’t know why, but I like that it’s friday and I like that pizza evening was mentioned on the tread. I’m grateful for this inspiration.
I’m grateful my late friend’s wife called me yesterday and told me she is out of reach for the next 24 hours, she needs sleep and rest.

I’m grateful for choices. I am supposed to visit some friends tomorrow evening and spend the night as it’s a long drive. We have been friends since we were children. One of them has returned to an abusive relationship. The other, her sister, was assaulted by him when she tried to step between them and has dealt with the trauma of this by increasing her alcohol intake. It is a sad home. There are children involved.
I’m grateful I have the choice at all times not to go, or alternatively, to leave at any point because I won’t be drinking. I’m grateful I can show them love regardless of whether I can physically be there - or not. I’m grateful I don’t feel the need to fix them.
I’m always grateful for the space to express myself here if the emotion of this gets too overwhelming.

I’m grateful my 3 youngest kids tested negative for covid, I’m grateful my wife isn’t very sick with it. I’m grateful i got to catch up here last night. @Ceeds I’m grateful to see your wisdom in a bad situation and to try and make it better for your friends the only way you can, loving them.
Have a great day all.

I’m grateful @Dan531 Dan’s wife is doing okay, that @Ceeds has joined us on the gratitude thread, and that we have a lot to be grateful for even through difficulty. I’m grateful that my partner’s colleagues are honest about contracting COVID after he was back at work for a couple projects this week and that we can isolate and see what happens. I am grateful we have gotten this far without getting it (as far as we know) and are vaxxed and boosted. I’m grateful I have been cooking up a storm and our fridge, freezer and pantry are stocked for just such an occasion. I’m grateful the forecast has changed yet again and we might actually get a bit of snow, though nothing like what areas south of us are expecting. That’s fine by me!
I’m grateful that when I was feeling some feels yesterday I decided to share them and I am grateful I got some support here - thank you, amigas. It seems that I hold back a lot until things build up I just decide to spill. I’ll try to let things out more often.
I’m grateful for a whole week of good enough sleeps and no major headaches, just some minor sinus pressure and tension that is manageable and not life disrupting. I’m especially grateful since the person I see for acupuncture has been away since the holiday and came back positive with COVID so I haven’t been to see her in over a month. I’m grateful that my mood has been much improved so far this month and I’m making progress on building heathy routines.
Always grateful for my amigos here.

I’m grateful to be a gratidude @erntedank 
I LOVE this tag.
I’m grateful I got several very productive workouts in this week and increased my distance and speed to running.
I’m grateful it’s Friday which means the grands are coming over tonight. 
I’m grateful for the knowledge that God not only hears my prayers but he answers them. Imean, how weird is that? Billions of people on the planet and he hears me, answers me. ME! The slow child that took 59 years to figure that out.
I am SO grateful to be sober, clear headed and figuring stuff out.

I’m grateful for my sight… spiritual and physical. I’m grateful that I’m relearning how to cope with distressing emotions, and this time it’s without the pretense that “it didn’t happen to me”. Before I started drinking heavily, I coped with painful incidents and situations by pretending it happened to someone else, or some alternate version of myself. I’m grateful that I’m strong enough to face these things more healthily. I’m grateful for my soul friends here who hold me up when I’m down. They help me to keep growing. 
I’m grateful that it’s only a 2-hour road-trip to get to Keely’s. I’m grateful for her sweet and sassy self, that she lifts my spirits and I lift hers. I’m grateful for her love of animals and that I’ll get to hear new stories from her work at the animal hospital. I’m grateful that I sometimes get to go snuggle the doggies who are in recovery.
I’m grateful for comfy hoodies and beanies, new Valentines socks @Callie99 , the skinny French fries I’ll have later today 
, and my road-trip playlist. 
I’m grateful for all the love in my life.

I am thankful that it’s day 8 and I am relaxed with my critters and a hazelnut coffee. I can remember last nights funny movie with my hubby and the little things we talked about before falling off to sleep. Wish my sleeping patterns were better but grateful for the sleep I actually got. Have a wonderful day everyone!

I’m grateful I slept in this morning.
I’m grateful I have no appointments to get to today.
Except El Cholo for lunch at our convenience.
I’m grateful I don’t need to use the car today.
I’m grateful anything I may need to do today I can walk to do it.
I’m grateful for all the walking around Santa Monica I did yesterday and the stuff I did get done.
I’m grateful I got my blood work done on my walk.
I’m grateful I spoke up to the doc about the pain I get in my toes with the covers on at night and he said it’s probably gout. And we’ll check my Uric acid levels in my blood work. Of course he said they got pills for that. I don’t want pills for that.
I’m grateful for my good sense of direction, especially around here.
I’m actually grateful my wife never wants to drive around here. Just driving around here or walking the dogs should be a video game.
I’m glad I do it without an ounce of booze in me now.
I’m grateful the wife got to sleep in even later than me.
I’m grateful for all my pets.
I’m grateful I phoned a friend yesterday.
As much as I love it here I’m grateful we only got one week left to our visit.
I’m grateful I can drop the car off for a check up and oil change next week and just walk home and walk back to pick it up later.
I’m grateful I presently live in a place where I can walk to everything I need.
I’m grateful I get to be blessed to be able to enjoy both worlds.
I’m grateful for this thread.
Gratitude
requires awareness and effort
not only to feel it
but to express it.

Good morning. 
I am grateful for the amazing meeting I attended last night and for the homegroup member who took his 8 year cake.
I am grateful for the women who help lay the foundation of my recovery and drilled into my head " women with the women, men with the men"
I am grateful that my life is changing and part of that is due to taking their advice and direction.
I am grateful for my willingness to do everything opposite to the way I have lived my life in the past. I am very aware my way has not worked for me and although I am sure it was not every aspect of it I am not willing to test which parts were “ok” just yet.
I am grateful that my daughter was able to breathe through her anxiety about going in to the highschool today.
I am grateful that I have the means to get her all the proper masks and sanitizers that keep her feeling as comfortable as possible while our numbers are increasing daily.
I am grateful that I am not in active addiction during this pandemic, that was my higherpowers work for sure. I do not believe my cleaning up in Dec 2019 was a coincidence. I would have never been able to support my special needs child through this pandemic still loaded. I was definitely guided.
I am grateful that saying that doesn’t make me uncomfortable, that I am not fearful of judgement today.
I am grateful that my spirituality has gotten so strong that I am able to wrap words around it now where before it was just “a feeling”.
I am grateful that my whole existence is supported by the principle of love and that love pours over me from the sky and the earth; from all the people in my life and even lately from myself.
I am grateful that I have been loving myself with food, books, meditation, time to sit in feelings, acceptance, sleep, recovery, friends, family, fun. These are ways I have been showing myself love, I do love myself, very much and everyday.
I am grateful that I just now understand that I love myself.

I am so grateful for this thread.
I heard what others said about not being able to keep up with so many of the other threads because it becomes too hard. I just started reading another thread and it instantly filled me with anxiety because it was filled with the kind of chaos I’ve made hard decisions to remove from my life and I couldn’t take it. I’m grateful that I’ve done the work needed to recognize that and not feel guilty for protecting myself and leaving the thread.
I’m grateful for making it through yesterday which was emotionally difficult. Sometimes my anxiety takes over and it really seems to take a day or two to recover. I’m still feeling yucky inside even though some fantastic things have happened the last couple days but I know it will pass and I’m grateful that I’m not thinking a beer (or 6) would cure it all.
I’m grateful I got my business license yesterday and a call about an inspection to get my sellers permit! This means I’m pretty positive I can open on the date I wanted to, 2/2/22!
I’m grateful for the new leaf on my Philodendron Birkin and my tissue cultures babies that are on their way to me.
I’m grateful that at 11:57 pm pst I will be two weeks sober.
