Daily Gratitude List

Grateful for another hangover free sober morning.
My coffee.
My cuppa tea.
My 3 1/2 mile walks I been taking each day for the last couple of weeks where I’ve been contemplating all this sobriety shit and being in the moment and noticing my surroundings and taking it all in. And enjoying the hell out of it!!
Grateful I’m not working out at home with weights, but more importantly I’m not getting down on myself about it, not working out; and, I really look forward to the 3 1/2 mile trail every day so that will be my workout for now.
Grateful for looking up and seeing my cat and dog sitting back side and butt to backside and butt resting on each other in peace.
Grateful for the joy my pets give me.
Grateful my plumber showed up yesterday even though he was very late and I had to text him to make sure he was still coming. :grimacing:
Grateful that it didn’t bother me that he didn’t say he was sorry for being so late. I didn’t ask him. I didn’t really care. He showed and did the work. I would have apologized but he’s not me. And that’s ok.
Grateful the caulking job on the kitchen sink he did looks marvelous. It’s the little things in life sometimes.
Grateful I got this gratitude list finished at 8 am so I can get Minnie out for her walk. She’s looking at me.
Love you guys.
:pray:t2::heart:

I am grateful for another hangover free sober morning.
Grateful I’m so dang happy in the morning since my sobriety.
Grateful my Pilates reformer will be delivered today.
Grateful I don’t get as easily angered as I use to.
My plumber didn’t apologize to me 2 days ago for being really really late. It was OK. Then on Tuesday my delivery guy said he would call me Wednesday and he didn’t. And I called him Thursday and he never said he was sorry for not calling me. And that’s OK. I would have said I’m sorry on both accounts. And be really angry. I always have thought people should say “ I’m sorry” for this or that. But I’m learning not everyone is like me. And that’s OK. Life is way to short to be upset at a person who didn’t say “I’m sorry” especially if I’ll probably never see that person again in my life.
I’m sorry that last one was so long :neutral_face:
Grateful for everything I’m learning about myself here at TS.
Grateful for this magical place TS. I went on a thread yesterday to try and encourage or help someone and I read a few post before I was going to post my thoughts; and, one post hit home so hard for me I started crying. I’m just greatful how it works here if you let it. I don’t even remember helping the other person or not.
Grateful autumn is right around the corner.
Grateful for my 3 1/2 mile trail in the pine trees in my hood.
Grateful for all of Gods blessings. Especially the ones I don’t deserve.

Grateful for the people that post on this gratitude list.
Grateful I got my Pilates reformer yesterday.
Even more grateful I easily put it together straight away and have already used it. I usually would have let it sit there for who knows how long because I would be afraid I couldn’t put it together. Stupid lack of self esteem.

Grateful for the joy and chance to see Chadwick Boseman live on a talk show in Hollywood. Grateful for all the movies he made. Grateful he will never know it, but he touched my life. I pray his family find some kind of peace knowing he is not in pain anymore and his cancer is no more. And he brought joy and insight to millions. I miss him. :cry::pray:t2:

Grateful I answered the happiness thread yesterday. I tend to over think things. Which I did. I came back to it later and just wrote what makes me happy right now. And that for some reason made me feel good.
Grateful for spending more time on here exploring different threads. Over thinking them ugh :weary: and then getting back to them with an answer that suits me. Not anyone else.
Grateful I’m learning what I post on different threads is for my sobriety and if I can help someone along the way then that helps me too.
Grateful to post my own personal knowledge to help people that are looking for help.
Grateful for the rain yesterday.
