Rosa…glad you are pulling out of your down mood. Winter can be tough! Gloomy and cloudy. Spring is in the air here, too.
Very sweet!!
Nice list!! Simple pleasures.
Today I’m grateful:
- That my Yogi tea spoke to me this morning (see photo)
- For making plans for the future with light at the end of this gall dang tunnel that seemed never ending for so long.
- For new opportunities to learn and grow everywhere, every day. Just have to look closely sometimes, and maybe it’s simply learning to sit with discomfort and not always self-soothe or distract or avoid. Really sit and become curious and observe what the discomfort is, what the emotions are, and learn something about myself.
Grateful for my TS amigos
I’m grateful to God that I don’t drink.
I’m grateful to God I no longer depend on booze.
I’m grateful Rosa just did her gratitude list so I didn’t have to scroll down searching for my Gratidudes. It’s the little things in life right?
I’m grateful for the pretty light dusting of snow last night and not the 3-5 inches they were predicting. My wife? Not so much?
I’m grateful I have a better attitude now that I don’t drink all the time. I don’t think I’m as angry and pissed off as I use to be. I mean circumstances around me haven’t changed. We still live in a fucked up world and I still think people suck but I don’t think it bothers me as much. And by people I just mean what I see and read in the news. Which I been trying to easily limit myself but not put my head in the sand.
I’m grateful I have a house and home and family and pets and food and heat and water and electricity that I’m sure I take for granted 23 & 3/4 hours a day.
I’m most grateful for my health. Even though I’ve had issues here and there plenty of them, God has given me a good body to get through this thing we call life.
Grateful for y’all.
Because when you stop and look around, life is pretty amazing
I shared this on the MH memes thread and thought you all might benefit (duh!). I liked this article.
Here’s the article like so you don’t have to go to the other thread if you don’t want to:
I’m grateful to God please help me change something for the good today.
I’m grateful to God please help me stay clean and sober just for today.
I’m grateful for my family.
I’m grateful for the grati-dudes and TS.
I’m grateful for my health and that I’m feeling a bit better today.
I’m grateful for my housemates.
God bless you all. &
P.s. you are capable. Ya you!!
Rosa, I love this. Thank you so much! I don’t usually have much time to read AND post on TS, and when it comes to this thread I feel like I need to write a novel --there’s just so much I feel grateful for (and it doesn’t help that I always read everyone’s posts, so it all takes up more time ). Going for a deeper, more detailed take on the one thing seems like it would work just right for me.
Oh, good! I’m glad. Just for the record for everybody, any gratitude practice at all is a great step and proven to be beneficial to a person’s well being.
Today I’m grateful to @RosaCanDo for the nice article shared, which made me think about this gratitude business a bit more. And made me decide to write about my gratitude for being able to go to group therapy today, for getting and giving myself the opportunity to work on myself and work together with the other folk in the group, and with the therapists, in making myself better, healthier, happier, more of a full human being, able to feel my feels, able to share my feelings and emotions, able to interact with others in a meaningful positive constructive way.
And not avoid others, avoid my feelings and emotions, hide myself from the world and from myself, hide in stupid substance abuse. Grateful I choose to try and live a better live. And always very grateful to all of you, sharing part of my road and giving me the honour and privilege to share some of yours with me. Very grateful indeed. Love.
I am grateful to have 40 continuous days of sobriety after numerous restarts.
I am grateful that I have a good morning routine with a prayer list that keeps growing and 2 daily devotional books.
I am grateful for this community and for this thread in particular.
Great Job on the 40 days Jen
I love the mug!
Great article Rosa. Thanks for sharing. Health benefits too. what a deal.
Hello all, and thank you @RosaCanDo for the article!
Today I am grateful that my kids cleaned up the kitchen before I got home from work. This small act takes a little off my plate and allows me to have a bit more time to relax.
I’m grateful that I have good coworkers because my job can be physically hard, and stressful. Having coworkers that you can joke with but still get shit done with is a major bonus.
I’m grateful that my Mother in Law will bring home soup for dinner tonite so I don’t have to think about something to make.
