I’m grateful this is my last move. @Puzzled I might have you beat. I met you back in Flagstaff. So many houses ago. Thanks @DanielaJ and @Cocojanie13 hopefully you won’t read of me moving again I’m getting tired.
I’m grateful I’ve gotten to live in so many different places. Boston to London to Austin to Durango to Santa Monica to Flagstaff to Scottsdale and settling down now, near by the SoCal coast. Near my baby grandson who is 3. Grateful I cannot go any further west. I’m grateful I don’t want to live in Hawaii. I’m grateful at this stage of my life having Gus nearby, and family, will keep us here.
I’m for the experiences of living so many different places.
I’m grateful we are headed to Malibu today to start that next chapter in our lives. I’m hopefully grateful the Dallas part of my family can stay and live in that condo as long as they like when they come for a visit. I’m grateful so grateful we are so lucky and or blessed to be able to do this.
I’m sadly grateful this will be the first move without any dog energy. I’m grateful we will have some lazy 3 cat energy for this trip.
I’m grateful for SoCal weather.
I’m grateful for my coffee.
I’m grateful my morning routine with my recovery is not a routine anymore. I can pick and choose what I like the do. I’m grateful to be that comfortable in my recovery after working my recovery like an addict to get where I am today. I’m grateful I know I will always be an alcoholic and I cannot have just one drink.
I’m grateful I have not heard one story of anyone going out and finding it so easy to come back and or they were able to drink like a normie. Not one!
if I put as much work into my recovery as I did my addiction I will always hit the pillow sober.
I’m grateful I seem to shed some deep burried emotional layers and baggage. Still not sure what it is about. I’m grateful I survived a full emotional meltdown today, triggered by a horribly realistic nightmare before waking up. I’m grateful I slept all day and will go to bed soon after the last dogwalk. Life must pause when a break is all you need to survive.
I’m grateful I take good care of myself and my bloodwork shows it.
I’m grateful for a massage today, it helped to cope with the inner turmoil. And my aching body.
I’m grateful the fridge is full again.
I’m grateful I threw away a bunch of things I didn’t use for ages without going through them.
I’m grateful for my cozy home, where I feel safe and loved My furbabies are precious

I have one more day in this Motel, as I woke up and a bill I didn’t expect zipped into my account and the gas cash is not there. No gas from Nebraska doesn’t work. Grateful I knew prior to zipping down the road.
Wanted to do some gratitude today as Im feeling a bit sick. I still want to keep myself mentally positive. Today I am grateful for: The amazing Drs and nurses that helped my son yesterday at the hospital Living in Canada where health care is free. With all of the procedures, surgeries, and hospital stays etc that my son has had over the years, we wouldve been broke if we had to pay for it all My husbands benefits that help cover a good portion of our meds etc The sun shining and being able to have the windows open for fresh air A clean home The grocery shop I’ll be doing later today. We need to stock up and I always feel good about a fully stock fridge and cupboards Reading everyones lists of what you all are grateful for My illness not being too debilitating
I’m grateful for the procedure that I’m about to have today. I’ve been putting it off for two years.
I’m grateful my furnace is fixed and working way more efficiently. It’s now up to code for the venting and I can tell the difference.
I’m grateful for just being alive. I don’t feel accomplished with the amount of work I’m getting done in a day but I am making better decisions. I’m grateful for realizing that I need to give myself credit for the little wins.

-Long, pleasant, scenic dog walk today. My buddy is extremely grateful I’m dog-sitting, and the dog is a chill, smart, well-trained buddddy.
-No shovelling or scraping the car off to do lately. These are things I don’t mind doing, when I’m not stacking them with everything else.
-My daughter is healthy and happy, doing everything a healthy and happy toddler should do.
-My work is incredible. It couldn’t be better, and that’s saving me from having to make some sort of career or housing change.
-my high level of personal responsibility and accountability. I think I have a fair assessment of my strengths and weaknesses.
-Wife will be back in a good mood at some point! Hopefully tomorrow. No way we’re getting it back today, but que sera sera.
Thank you to the universe for being kind to me, and for everything that enables me to continue through the rest of my day.
Edit 1) Late evening. wife came home in a good mood mood. Lots of compliments for me. She was happy that I had dinner ready, and it just got better when she saw that I did some housework after work. I’m impressed that she was able to work all day on about three hours of sleep — no one looking at her would know she was exhausted when she came home. Lucky me.
I’m so grateful I didn’t give up, or let anxiety or self-pity get any foothold today.
I have been talking to my former dog groomer, who is pretty desperate to get a roommate - POOF I showed up looking for help, and she’s there. I just need to find a way to stay here for a few more days, rather than heading states away. She’s not available until the weekend due to shop hours. I’ve always liked her, that’s why she’s groomed for me up until a few years ago, when I wasn’t close anymore.
Had my initial Hepatocellular Carcinoma consult today. The numbers are good. The doctor is “confident” the cancer can be completely removed with radio ablation. I will have to have an MRI every 90 days for the next two years and then every 6 months for the rest of my life.
I’m just waiting for insurance to approve the procedure. I guess that takes around a month. I’ll just have to wait. Hopefully I’ll have the procedure completed within the next 60 days.
Beats the alternative. And I’ve been in an MRI tube before. I find them kind of relaxing in a strange way.
