Wednesday gratitude. Time flies.
Today I’m grateful I accomplished a lot this week without getting overwhelmed. I’m grateful I work, fumble, rest and pet at my pace. I’m grateful for sleeping meds and waking up rested.
I’m grateful to be surrounded by purrs and fluffyness. I’m grateful for the love, joy and laughter my zoo brings into my life. My shoulders and neck are shredded but I don’t care because my mini-fluff is a hop-on-shoulder-cat atm 
Hat, cape, stick and the witch is purrfect 
I’m grateful for daily, continuous efforts I put into proceeding with big tasks. I’m grateful I finally have time, energy and mojo to tackle them. Let’s see when my tree-cutting mojo has enough and wanders off 
My chores mojo takes a break atm but kindly stops by every few days for a visit 
I’m grateful for my humor and that I always have something to smile & laugh about. I’m grateful I’m a jolly person and life is light atm. And fun. And a bit crazy.
I’m grateful I live on a hill where it’s normal that you stop your car and wait until the ducks on the road decide where they want to go. Many people have ducks here.

Thank you Eric 
Raising kids in a very complicated world isn’t easy. We need grandparents who support our families. Doing things differently is necessary because the world changed. Thank you so much for understanding. It brought tears in my eyes and made my heart smile.
I am grateful.
Independent journalism and free speech. It helps me understand our crazy world a little better. And understanding helps to not get lost in hopelessness.
Milas tender meow. She is the sweetest cat. For the first months, she kept hiding under the couch. Then she learned that we actually aren’t such bad people. Now she wants to be cuddled for hours.
My love caring for me. As a single mom for many years, I cared for everything by myself. Now my loving and caring partner is doing things for me. Like cooking. I slowly start to enjoy it without feeling to owe him anything but a heartfelt thank you.
Enough time to help my neighbours with their pets. Giving food to Rosa, Nala and Sanza while my neighbours are on their holidays. Walking Bella, while her Daddy is at the hospital. It feels good to help. I don’t need anything in return. Helping others is the best I can do to make the world a better place.
Today I’m grateful for:
For the life that I live 
The presence and support I’m able to give when needed
Hot showers 
My lush bed and having a not too bad sleep last night 
Not feeling too nervous about a meeting I have in the morning and my ex husband being there, basic catch up with relevant professionals on how my son is getting on at his medical in term school
Rocky and the joy he brings to us all 
My knee not feeling too bad (osteoarthritis in it) even though I’ve upped my cardio at the gym, gradual progress 
The gym 
Selfcare and tattie lashes
Motivation and positivity 
wishing everyone a beautiful and blessed day 
I’m grateful for a good nights sleep
I’m grateful a programmable coffee pot that has my coffee ready
I’m grateful for a job to go to today
I’m grateful for clean clothes to wear to work
I’m grateful for my daughters and my pets
I’m grateful for 413 days of sobriety

Today I’m grateful for:
My Al-Anon group.
Being able to deal with embarrassment without acting out.
Understanding that I’m not entitled to anything.
The few friends I do have
That I can use feelings to steer me in the right direction instead of burying them
Having the strength to talk myself through the dark times.
Knowing that I need to boost my creativity and volunteerism to get the focus off of my selfishness.
I’m grateful for the magical mystery of frogs 
I’m grateful for the rain.
I’m grateful after a big rain 2 nights ago all of a sudden the frogs are out! I’m grateful for their croaks, trills, barks, and moos! Thank you Google AI 
I’m grateful I was so shocked my first year here at the noise. I’m grateful now I love it.
I’m grateful I don’t have a headache all day today.
I’m grateful I got some snap dragons planted yesterday before I take off to Malibu today. I’m grateful I can easily get there to take care of the television instal. Let The Man in. And be there to get my first termite treatment.
I’m grateful wifey can do Alice fluids alone now when she has to. I’m grateful Alice is plugged in and purring on my lap. I hope she gets up in the next 15 minutes or I’ll be late.
I’m grateful for my morning espresso.
I’m grateful my second cup is a crema.
I’m grateful my third cup is a ginger turmeric hot tea.
I’m grateful for all the rain and the coreopsis will be popping! And the hills will stay green a bit longer. And fire chances are lower.
I’m grateful the weather has cooled off too.
I’m grateful things don’t bother me like they use to. I still see those “things,” and have to remember how important is it? And what’s the worst that can happen. And I can’t control people places or things. I’m grateful to continue to learn I got to let “them” happen.
Grateful:
Slept in a different bed for two nights, so far, in a home where I will pay rent.
Two dog owners/parents know that bringing two into a large group of five takes patience and care.
Knowing my mood changes when I don’t eat enough. I probably should schedule and maintain meal times.
That is all for now. I am just happy to be back on with a non-public internet.
Thursday gratitude.
I’m grateful I made it here today!!!
Today I’m grateful for my lovely zoo snoring & sleeping on & around me, full, cuddled, relaxed
I’m grateful today was a good day
I’m grateful for:
I’m grateful for slowly ticking off tasks from the long, long to do list. I’m grateful I keep going. I’m grateful I feel free and joyful in what I do. I’m grateful this kind of feeling easy is new
I’m grateful for all my blessings, for my life as it is, for reminders to smile and cherish all the good
I’m grateful the universe always delivers at the right time.

I’m grateful my daughter and her friends are all safe after a young man decided to pull a knife and make threats to her friend in the cafeteria today . Apparently he was upset about being dumped
I’m grateful I was who she contacted when she was feeling overwhelmed by her day
I’m grateful we all got to come home and have dinner together
I’m grateful for hot showers
I’m grateful for a comfy bed I can lounge on and read
I’m grateful to be sober
Omg 
WTF
That’s not good.
Holy shit!
I hope someone can do something about him doing that.
So sorry to read this. 
Police were involved. They actually have a couple officers stationed in the front office during school hours. With him being a juvenile not much will come of it if the charges go through . Definitely had my daughter quite upset though. Also very grateful her friend dumped the guy she definitely doesn’t need a guy like that around
You live in a tough hood eh?
No I live in the middle of nowhere so my oldest has to be bussed into the city for school. Even the city we are on the outskirts of isn’t really rough. It’s actually more of a wealthy and entitled kind of place. But it’s one of these new big “ super high schools” they built and closed 3 other schools around here to fill it. I think it’s just way too many people with out of whack hormones crammed into one building.
I am grateful I’ve found an orthopedic who actually asks you to take off your shoes and trousers to examine you. Well, she came up with my original diagnosis which I am not grateful for.
I am grateful for this early October weather.
I am grateful the app I switched to collecting and transferring my glucose numbers is saving a lot of battery over the day.
