@tailee17 happy 700 dear friend! Iām so glad the recheck came back clear I was thinking of you.
@Cocojanie13 thanks for the well wishes Today was much better.
Friday gratitude.
I did it. After pondering for months, I decided today that the grass will not grow greener as we say and tackled the bedroom rearranging. Iām super proud and super grateful that it went as I planned! Bonus: Task completed for now The missing parts of the project must wait for when I can reach the basement with the farmloader again. I do not carry a wardrobe up the stairs. Iām grateful for my wonderwuzzi and that Iām heartfelt too old for such shit.
Iām grateful for the yummi thai food we had, I tried a new restaurant with a friend. Not so grateful that I forgot the money I owe her. Again. Fucking menopausal long covid mushbrain.
Iām grateful for catlove and dogcuddles. Love them to pieces
Iām grateful that every day is a new opportunity to do my best. Today my best was a lot and lotsa good emotions & vibes.
Iām grateful little tasks add up.
Iām grateful for friends.
Iām grateful I live at my pace. I vividly remember the before times atm and work on processing and letting go of what still is stuck in my soul & bones. Iām grateful I keep going.

Today Iām grateful for:

~Having a great chat with the kids mom tonight when I got the kids
~Being able to have dinner ready for everyone when he got home late from work
~3 ring binders & feeling a little organized
~Being in a group painting chat with 2 friends & sharing what we are playing with and trying
~Handling teenage driving SO much better than I did when the boys went through it
~Recovery reading material
~Community
~Honorary granddaughter visiting
~Wonderful sleep last night
~Waking up cold in the middle of the night instead of burning hot from the inside out like I normally do, I suspect my treatment plan is helping a little already. Wahooo!
Today Iām grateful itās weekend.
For the cleaning lady who cleans my studio and does my laundry every two weeks. Iād never hire someone to do thus for me but itās included in the rent and I enjoy the luxury.
For the sunrise hike that was organized in relation the dry january activities. I doubted and doubted and at 4.54 decided ok letās go, managed to arrive at meeting point at 5.03, just 3 minutes late. No sunrise to be seen as the top of the mountain was in the clouds. No problem.
Grateful also for the two guys I hiked up the mojntain with, they were fit and going quick so it was a good challenge.
Grateful also for some much needed social interaction. Iām such a recluse these days.
Grateful my energy and thoughts are slowly getting directed at working towards starting my own farming business. Itās just so scary but I think it needs to finally happen.
Jan 31st
Today I am grateful for:
~ The Dr who found out that my mom had issues with her kidneys. Without him being proactive, this issue may have continued to go unnoticed.
~ My husband buying me a walking pad for the days that I cant get to the gym.
~ My sons hugs this morning.
~ The gym and that I really enjoy exercise.
~ The nice weather out there today.
~ The beautiful full moon that I got to see this morning.
~ My recovery and that my husband is also clean and sober.
~ My job and how I get to help people.
~ God. I am sooo blessed to have thr connection that I do with Him.
Iām grateful for my life right now.. Grateful to be living and feeling even when sometimes it sucks. Grateful to be responsible and paying for my own things but also grateful to have this cool toy collection growing. It helps when Iām feeling anxiety to play with the toys or build legos and helps me process anything Iām going through. Grateful for this cool yo yo I bought that is for doing tricks. Brings back so many good memories. Grateful to be learning how to yo yo again.. Iām not that good but I will get better @tailee17
Grateful to be off today and going to get some basketball ball in and yardwork before it gets super cold and will probably spend time inside mostly tomorrow because of 20 degree weather and 30 mph winds. Definitely a lego and toy day in the shed. Grateful to be here and be alive
Though I struggle with self-care, I am very good about taking care and cleaning up after these puppers. Several are probably aware that checking on yourself first is something to work on.
Eating. It matters.
Did get rid of the pop-up. I have different thoughts about what I currently need to continue to move properly in this life. Letās just start with being warmā¦.I NEED to be warm.
YOU. My son. My daughter. My sister. Others that I do not post at the moment.
Itās snowing! I live in Florida. This is crazy and this is not even the coldest. Itās going to be like 20 something degrees tomorrow. Grateful I get to experience this and bring back memories from Pennsylvania when I was a kid.. really flurries or light snowfall but I feel like there might be real snowfall tomorrow
Dang, the universe has humor. Not going TMI because boring but oh my gosh did I mess up today, had an epiphany, forgave myself for being Mrs. Clumsy Klutz, and accomplisched a ton
Iām grateful I learned to live with being all thumbs and thus happily destroying things without purpose. Iām grateful I overcame the acquired helplessness besides my handy ex.
Iām grateful I just do (mostly after thinking about it for months). Sometimes things donāt work as planned
Iām grateful the damage can be fixed, either professionally or I try the next botch. Or both
Iām grateful the neighbours had fun when I threw out a bunch of empty cardboard boxes from the first floor balcony. Yep, they are double use, first relocate my library, then kill weed on the field. Iām grateful the unpacking proceeds and I throw away a decent amount of books (and stuff).
Iām grateful the bed exchange guestroom - bedroom is done. Hope to sleep better today, last night was crappy.
Iām heartfelt grateful I accomplished a lot in january, the month flew by.
Today Iām grateful for:
~Taking the weekend to eat a few foods I wonāt be able to for a while, but not going overboard either
~Thai
~Walking down to the lake, even though it was cold it was still beautiful
~My handsome 'ol boy having SO much fun playing down there-he was like a puppy
~Having some good painting play time
~Getting to hug his boy when he went home too instead of just the girls
~Not doing any business stuff yesterday & just spending time with the family
~Date nights
~Gratitude
~Getting groceries today to prepare for my week
~Running errands this morning so I can spend the rest of the day at home
on 700 days
