Today I am grateful for the rain. A big, loud thunder storm of rain. Hadn’t rained here in weeks, and my rain barrels were long dry. Been scorching. Like 25 days of 90+ F and the last week daily over 100. Now my barrels are full, and everything is soaked good.

Today I’m grateful for a nice (and sober) lunch with the wife at a restaurant on the water.
I’m grateful that when we got home I did some cleaning around the house, walked the dogs, and then did a second, although short, workout while it thunder stormed. Now I’m watching the dogs fall asleep to the sound of the rain. So peaceful.
The old me would have gotten drunk at lunch, gotten into a fight with the wife because she would have had to drive home, and continued to take shots when I got home. Sobriety is amazing.

Woah 
what a day. Feeling more like myself but it was a doozie! I was really feeling down but I’m grateful I was able to snap out of it… well mostly anyways. 
I’m so grateful for another day of being sober and growing and learning. 
I’m grateful for yoga and meditation this morning. Without it I don’t think I would have functioned even half as good as I did… all things considered.
I’m thankful for my kids. Now technically “Adults” but still my babies and just spending time with them really lifts my spirits and makes all the other nonsense almost seem trivial.
I’m thankful I’m learning it’s ok to have boundaries and I don’t have to please everyone.
I’m truly blessed and have so much to be grateful for. Life is good and sure it doesn’t always go the way you think it should but that’s ok… there’s a plan for us all and no matter what… that plan will play itself out… and I’m ok with that.

There’s a wonderful Boston speech pattern, where everyone is referred to as “kid”. I think it means anyone your age or younger. “I know this kid whose son drives the school bus…” like that.

I’m grateful I found all your posts. I have had some stuff that I have been allowing to weigh me down and forgot to be grateful for all the wonderful blessings that are in my life since I have been sober. Thank you for sharing and reminding me to pause. What a great way to wind down my day.

Nothing gross about leftover pizza. It’s basically the reason our toaster is a toaster oven.
I even love it leftover and cold. We always order a large so we have leftovers
