Daily Gratitude List

Today I’m grateful that I’ve kept my cool… :smile: , that I had kept my cool at the end of the long day yesterday that could have ended with me losing my sh*t, but did not. Grateful that I turned the camera off on my zoom work call and prep-cooked my veggies. (There may have been some therapeutic, cathartic release in wielding my knife upon root vegetables!)

I’m grateful that I’ve set good limits and boundaries with work today - lots of breaks and I even just had a 10 min nap. :relaxed:

I’m grateful I’m learning to accept that I don’t need to do it all, that I can’t do it all - and that this doesn’t mean I’m a failure or not a good person. Grateful that I’m learning my self-worth isn’t about what I achieve, or what others think I should achieve.

I’m super grateful I’m sober, or I wouldn’t be in this headspace. I’m grateful for all the support I have here from all of you to be sober, to stay sober.

I’m grateful for the yummy roasted veggie quinoa salad I just had for lunch. I’m grateful for my tiny comfy home - the music, the calm view out my window, the snowy day outside.

M and D? I’m grateful for all the time we had to hang out, the time I thought would never come to an end. Remember when I would impromptu swing by your place after my work day, bring something to add to the dinner table, go for a walk with Mom, watch the news with Dad? Just those easy-going visits, endless hugs, I still thought we had years of them, but it’s ok. I can still coast on all the love…

I’m grateful for another day. :orange_heart:

Hey grati-dudes! :wave: I am grateful I made it back here to this thread finally! I had a lovely uplifting time scrolling through some massive amazing gratitude shared here, and I can’t think of a better way to use up my likes for the day (hope you all aren’t annoyed by all the hearts).

Today I am grateful for:

  1. Sleep and waking up feeling rested (effin’ finally, ha!)
  2. The research and resources that are out there related to grief and loss experience
  3. Being an emotional creature.

Grateful for you folks. :heartpulse:

@M-be-free49
I couldn’t find a Gratitude-dudes Tee.
But I do like this one :point_down: but it doesn’t say gratitude on it.


It’s kinda girly but that’s never been a problem for me. I’m grateful I’m comfortable with my feminine side. TMI?
@I.cant.We.can @RosaCanDo
I like this one 2 :point_down:

How many should I order :crazy_face::rofl:
I’m grateful for y’all.

Just hit my mind, Eric, so honourable that you live and love day in and day out with tons of booze in the house being (at least what I can figure) at peace with that and moreover to accept your wife drinking every day. I would be on my knees to honor your capacity of acceptance and forgiveness but I am still in bed. I do it mentally anyway :sunflower:

I’m grateful I already had Daisy on my lap keeping me warm and purring during my Bible and devotional readings this morning. This cat therapy just promotes such a calmness in me.
I grateful I’m not a drinker.
I’m grateful I don’t depend on drinking to have a good time.
I’m grateful I don’t depend on drinking to get over shit any more.
I’m grateful I don’t depend on drinking.
I’m grateful I noticed the kitchen sink has been cleaner the past couple of mornings. It’s an evening pet feeding thing wifey usually leaves behind and I clean up in the morning. :grimacing: That I’ve graciously :relieved: have learned to live with. I need to remember to tell her how much I appreciate it. And that I even noticed. It’s just such a little thing.
I’m grateful Daisy is back for round two.
I’m grateful for TS.

I’m grateful for the lovely words @anon74766472
Franzi said about me yesterday.
“Honorable :blush:” “living and loving”.
Thank you Franzi that really cheered up an old guy out of the blue so unexpectedly. Not that I needed it at that moment. Which makes it even so much more beautiful to read. Bless you :pray:t2:

I’m grateful for the good sound sleep I had, for the quiet early morning I just had, and the calm feeling I wake up with now.

I’m so grateful to be sober.
I’m grateful to find enjoyment in all of the things I used to associate with a drink, grateful that these associations are falling away. I can cook with tunes on and don’t think about the “missing” glass of wine now. (yay!) Had a hard day? closing my laptop and hitting the yoga mat, chatting with a pal, reading my fiction - all sober - these are everything I need. The wine would just get in the way…

I’m grateful for this TS community, for how different and similar we all are. I’m grateful that we can see each other as beautiful and whole in our own unique, human ways - of course not perfect - and compassionately encourage each other to be our best selves for another day.

I’m grateful for my family of friends. I’m grateful that my ex-husband (of 8-9 years now!) is in my family of friends - over time, and without pressure on each other to be this way. Just grateful that every few weeks we banter away all evening in a text conversation that leaves me chuckling…

M and D? I’m so grateful I landed in your laps. You two were, and still are, without a doubt my two greatest blessings.

I’m grateful for another day. :orange_heart:
