Daily Gratitude List

Today I’m grateful that I’m able to roll with things out of my control a little more.

I’m grateful I’m learning, slowly and with the help of others, how to talk to myself differently. Inner critic no longer has a full time job around here! But change is slow, so I gotta keep on top of the sneaky little fella…

I’m grateful for the fresh snow this morning. It’s perfect for the weekend. Will hunker in and also spend some time on my trails.

I’m grateful I don’t feel bad about tears that spring up here and there - some days and not others - and some days more than others. I’m glad I don’t feel like I’m failing at being happy any more. (I’m grateful for therapy, and benefits, to have worked on this!)

I’m grateful to be sober, and grateful that every day is a day to recover just a little more of myself and my life.

M and D, even though one of you is in heaven and the other’s getting packed for the trip, it’ll never change how grateful I am and always will be…

I’m grateful for another day. :orange_heart:

Gratitude

  • to be able to get a takeaway (I got paid for 5 days- 60 hours work!)
  • to be able to clock off today at 6.30pm
  • to share the takeaway with my flatmate
  • to have had the energy to tidy the house sparkly so that it’s nice for our mornings reading
  • my hot water bottle
  • the fact that because I wasn’t drunk or hungover I could watch a film and focus and CRY and lose myself in fiction
  • my boyfriend who I don’t live with but who manages to see something good in me and seems to want to plan a future with me, I really never thought I’d meet someone who would feel that person was ME, I’m always the back up or unrequited lover
  • that I could run today after a long full day at work (only 5km but for me this was enough today so I could tidy)
  • sleep - I was always an insomniac and recently it’s calmed down so much, game changer
  • the sun shine today, lifted us all up
  • safety
  • health of myself and my family
  • grateful that I’m starting to like the world and myself more everyday even when it’s been hard this week. I’m trying and I’m committed to trying.

Happy Friday yalll

in no particular order - car mats, vacuum cleaners, Bath taps, online surveys, cheese scones, bakewell tarts, late nights, herbal tea, zoom meetings, dog love and yes definitely sobriety.

Grateful that I can tackle my problems sober.
Grateful I can still grow (at least inside) and learn.
Grateful that I slowly learn to control what I say and express towards my colleagues. That not everything deserves a reaction.

I’m grateful for a delicious Saturday morning. To have woken early, read for a bit, and made the wise decision to chase a few more hours of sleep.

Though I whimpered through my last few zoom meetings yesterday, I’m grateful for technology. To keep in touch with pals, my mom, and to connect me with all of the “dear ones” (as my Mom would have called you all) on this sobriety journey.

I’m grateful for the grati-dudes and our big TS family. These posts that make me laugh or tear up, that support me and sometimes challenge me. I am so grateful to share today and this journey with you.

I’m grateful to be sober, to want to be sober and stay sober. To feel more alive each day – both to what is, and to what might yet be. To have my curiosity about myself and the world re-awakened.

I’m grateful for warm clothes on this cold, cold January day! I’m grateful the sun is still shining, I can do a zoom yoga class in my warm little cozy place. (Starts soon! Better go brush out my toque hair! :laughing:).

M and D? I’m grateful for the little notes and cards I kept with your handwriting on them. These are the gold. More chuckles through my wet eyes.

I’m grateful for another day. :orange_heart:
