I’m grateful for Daisy cat showing her love every morning. I grateful Maverick greets me at the bathroom sink every morning. I’m grateful I can let Minnie and Benson out in our back yard every morning. And I’m grateful when B and Alice easily follow me into the master for their breakfast in the morning. I think that’s everyone. And grateful Benson is snuggled into me on my lap this morning.
I’m grateful for my last dream this morning that woke me up. I hadn’t seen Althea in years. I was struggling and she was there to help me 
I’m grateful today would have been my grandfather’s birthday. I always think it’s cool I knew someone born in the 1800’s. Well. 1899. And his total undying, unconditional love for me. But y’all have heard this all before 
. So I’ll keep it short. It’s just one of those dates I’ll never forget. Now, he had my back. He always told me as a child, “Cowboys don’t cry.” Guess I’ll never be a Cowboy. Maybe that’s why I cry all the time. Not because of him. But because as a kid, in the 60’s, I remember being told not to cry. A lot. Even at funerals. I can remember my aunt telling me, Don’t cry,”. “Look at Tommy, he’s not crying.” It’s funny the things that have stuck with me and the vivid memories I can have of that. Or maybe it was my mother. She cried all the time. She definitely wasn’t a Cowboy. I’m not crying now. 
I’m grateful it was a real nice day yesterday. Alice’s UTI has totally cleared up. And the rest of the day was pretty pretty fun and good. And I enjoyed watching football with the TS thread and with my wife. And my Bolognese turned out fantastic.
I’m grateful I didn’t bring my iPad to bed last night. And I’m grateful I’m going to work on a good, night time sleep routine in February.
I’m grateful for TS and all of Youse.

I am grateful for other people’s courage and vulnerability which allows me to see them.

I am grateful that everyday in recovery is new, we all start fresh, we all start at the begining. So when one of us is injured when the new day begins those who feel strong can help carry that person through.
I am grateful for the beautiful visual I had of addicts literally holding addicts up as we walked along the beach together.
We are never alone and I am so grateful for this.

The seas of my thoughts are stormy tonight. I’m going to end my day with some gratitude here to keep myself focused on progress 
I’m grateful for:
- My wife, who is supporting me exploring a career change. (A good opportunity, but obviously it comes with some risk too. I appreciate her seeing my passion and channeling her support to me for that.)
- My supervisor at work, who gave me some feedback today that was difficult to hear but was also a chance for me to reflect, dig deep and really think about how I behaved & how I manage my time, and that led me to an insight about myself. More coming on that!
- Time. I’m grateful that I get up, that I get to exercise (swimming) in the morning, that I have the valuable challenge of using time effectively at work and at home. Time is the one thing no one can have more or less of. We all have the same amount, so the challenge is how we use it. I’m grateful for time & all the wondrous opportunities that come with it.
My love to all you wonderful people. I appreciate this forum very much!
