Grateful to be off work today! I only have 1 Saturday off a month. So grateful it’s sunny and 83 degrees!! I rode my skateboard around some shopping centers while I waited on my oil change and luckily the car Im using is in great condition.. I might go get some basketball shoes because I really have got into that sport because of not being able to bike where I live. Grateful to be in a position financially to buy some cool Nikes and maybe eat somewhere nice tonight. Grateful for today and so grateful I don’t go back to work till Monday at 730. I know time will fly so I must make the best of it and stay busy. When it cools down later I will work on some paintings in the shed and take tucker for a walk. Also have to go get him his bone from the grocery store he likes that I’ve been getting him every Saturday. Grateful to be 2 years sober on the 27th! Grateful for my freedom and actually living! Grateful for this community and grateful for all the wonderful people on here.
Edit: I haven’t bought any new shoes in a long time and so grateful to treat myself and get some new ones. I still need to get basketball shoes but decided to get all new shoes because mine are old and wore out. It feels like most of my life I just had shoes but never remember like specifically going out to get shoes/ clothing or using my own money. They were gifts and made them last years or just held onto them. Got some shoes for work.. the black ones because i do a lot of steps at work and got the white ones for if i go out somewhere or social things.. feels so good to buy these today and I know it sounds stupid but almost brought tears to my eyes. They aren’t really expensive or the best shoes but I think 20 for the black ones and 30 for the white is a great deal. I went to this place called Ross.

Sticking to my budget. I put a good chunk of money on the credit card recently. Should be paid off by end of the month.
Never being in trouble with the law as an adult. I was thinking about this, this morning. If i had ever been caught for prostitution or had drug, theft, or assault charges in the past, I wouldnt be able to be in the field I am today. Grateful that I never got caught or charged and that I had a 2nd chance at life to help people.
Technology. That I am able to communicate with my family back home in Manitoba.

that’s a pretty cool way to make the time pass while your waiting also.. personally i love the challenge of being dropped somewhere with just my skateboard and not much else. I just had a mini adventure. I gave a tangerine to this homeless person and talked to them at one point.. but mostly just rode around and did some basic tricks and also went to the dollar store

This evening I am feeling so much gratitude for:
A good chat with my son.
Getting to build a righteous snow fort with him that can fit him, the dog, and me.
Getting to chat with some other parents about the trials and tribulations of parenting while the kids were at piano lessons.
The kiddo wanting to play basketball and not seeming to be set back by negative interactions with other kids. He’s so resilient.
Having some leftovers ready for dinner tonight.
Knowing I’ll be going to bed with another sober day under my belt.

I’m grateful to have an employer that cares . Today I was running a bit late and because it’s so out of character for me he was genuinely concerned something bad happened and called me.
I’m grateful todays workday was good
Im grateful my youngest daughter’s screening for autism is done and we can finally get her more help at school.

So pleased that she’ll now get the support she needs at school. My son has autism and it was a long road to get a diagnosis but worth it to see how he can now flourish at school with the support and changes that are in place for him, though he’s part time he’s doing brilliantly, it’s makes so much difference for them. He used to say to me “why am I like this, am I weird?” I’d reply “absolutely not, you’re unique and I wouldn’t have you any other.” Wishing her all the best moving forward and how lucky she is to have such an amazing mum

I’m grateful for 7 days sober for alcohol, 125 days no THC and 29 days no cigars.
I’m grateful for the progress that I’ve made in the last 7 days, spiritually, mentally and physically.
I’m grateful for the discipline that I’m displaying to myself by waking up early to fast, eating well, exercising and being conscious of my actions and words.
I’m grateful for the success that I’m having on my social media platforms. I want a career in this space and I’m tracking well to make that happen.
I’m grateful to have men friends. It’s nice being able to speak to other people who are experiencing the same good and bad as me.
I’m grateful for the month of Ramadan. It’s a month to get closer to god and get your life in better order. This is exactly what is happening to me.
Time to get ready to pray. Enjoy your day everyone!

Thank you. It really has been a long road over the past 3 years and some of it was spent on hearing she’s just anxious or she is just needs to work on fine motor skills etc. Even though I’ve kind of known for a while now sitting in a meeting for an hour and having someone else say it really took a lot out of me. I’m glad your son is now flourishing and getting the support he needs.

I’m grateful for a day in the kitchen with my wife. We made 4 different dishes together. We are set up for a couple days next week, which just takes the pressure off.
I’m grateful for an amazing day 4 of fasting for Ramadan. My body feels good, my energy levels are high and my spiritually is growing!
