Grateful…
…that I wake up early these days and don’t feel rushed to get on with the day, but just enjoy that first cup of coffee as the sky gets lighter.
…that I have a few more weeks to work from home with my dog girl by my side.
…that it is September 01 - this always feels like when a new year truly begins.
…for this forum and the fact that I have a few sober months under my belt already.
…for another day, for time still to live a life “well-lived”

I soooo miss being in school. I really thrived there. I finished my masters in 2010 and still miss it! Thanks for the reminder, maybe I should take a course just for fun.

I’m grateful for:

  • my dog having a good day and showing his old, playful self.
  • the show Murder Maps on Netflix!
  • leftovers and a break from cooking (even though I love it, but we all need a day off!)
  • cloudy, cool, migraine-free days
  • my niece turning 1 year old today and all the love on text and social media from the whole family and friends as we celebrate this amazing child! So glad I got to be a part of her early days/months before this whole pandemic ruined things…
  • random texts from friends I haven’t heard from in weeks, checking up on my sober journey
  • as always, the friends I am starting to make on TS.

Flag is gorgeous! I wish I had visited and explored more when I lived in Tucson. You’re also kinda close to the White Mountains area which is beautiful - we backpacked there once and it was amazing.

It’s days like today when practicing gratitude matters most, those tough days full of irritation and frustration.

I’m grateful for:

  • my relationship founded in honesty and the work we have done to rebuild trust and communication, going both directions
  • video chats and seeing my niece playing with the birthday toy I sent her
  • my garden that keep spitting out the most delicious tomatoes!
  • making plans for pizza night on Friday, with homemade tomato sauce!
  • sleeping well every night this week, a huge deal for this insomniac
  • managing cravings (so far) with only a few tears and minimal negativity
  • my dogs, everyday.
