That is soooo beautiful! I love that kind of snow. It seems to just blanket everything in stillness, quiet, and calm. (Until the neighbours’ snow blowers get fired up! )
Thanks for sharing.
I am grateful for today for getting to 3 days and for all of you lovely people.
Three days is huge! If you are interested, join us on the “Checking In Daily to Maintain Focus” thread - a daily check in and lots of support shared.
I hope you have a beautiful, sober day. You can do it!

I’m grateful the frozen chicken pot pies, I found on line, tasted really good last night.
I’m grateful for my coffee.
I’m grateful for the peace and quiet of the morning.
I’m grateful for my reading in Courage to Change. God gave me exactly what I needed this morning in that reading. How I can spend hours thinking about my spouses limitations and problems and how she “should” change. Not one thing has ever improved with mental criticism and it keeps my mind on someone instead of on myself. I’m powerless over other people dummy!! I was having a little pity party last night because I have to do everything around here at supper time I’m such a jerk.
But it’s amazing how God gave me that reading this morning of all mornings.
I’m grateful God is tap dancing around up there giving us exactly what we need

I love it. And I came across this little gem this morning…
When we let go of insisting that we are who we think we are and that the world should give us exactly and only what we want, all things shine forth.
John Brehm, in “The Poetry of Impermanence, Mindfulness, and Joy”

I’m grateful for music. I realized yesterday how important it is to me to both match my mood or lift me out of a mood - a real companion while I go through my day.
I’m also grateful for silence, and that with sobriety, I am much more comfortable hanging out in silence at times during the day - it’s almost another kind of companion.
I’m grateful to my parents for the amazing childhood christmases I had - not about presents but tradition. I just might be baking some christmas cookies. Tradition is tradition, after all…
I’m grateful that I have a roof, food, heat, running water, clothing and a comfy bed and have never had to question these. I wake up every morning not giving a second thought to where or how my basic needs will be met. Time to give back…
I’m grateful to be sober and grateful for this place.
I’m grateful for another day.
Yes, yes! Grateful for music - too many reasons! And clean clothes.
and @Jennajen I could use a flatmate around here to keep me accountable at my desk! I remember the days of studying with roommates - you’re right, we kept each others’ butts on chairs until break time…
