Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery #10

On this Sunday I’m grateful for:

Quality time yesterday with my 15 yr old, we went and played a few games of pool, though I wasn’t too shabby he did whoop my butt!! Seeing him have fun was beautiful. With everything he has going on (ASD,CFS) I’m truly blessed at having such an inspirational son :blue_heart:

Being able to take my other son to view a car today, fingers crossed it’ll be good enough to purchase and if not, that’s fine too, we’ll continue the search :automobile:

The pain in my bicep easing, must’ve pulled something at the gym but it’s feeling better today :flexed_biceps:

Sunday morning coffee and hearing birds sing while I’m sitting here drinking it

My best friend having a tough day yesterday but getting through it, anniversary of her husband passing. Grateful I can be there for her :pink_heart:

My leak in my out house being fixed after months of waiting

Self healing :mending_heart:

My recovery and the peace it brings to my life :folded_hands:

I’m grateful for the time change (spring forward). I feel so much better waking up at a reasonable time.

I’m grateful that yesterday all the cooking and chores got done so that today can be a relaxing day.

I’m grateful that I feel good about myself, who I am and what I’ve accomplished.

I’m grateful for the clarity sobriety has given me towards my life’s goals. I’m grateful for the energy to achieve that I need to daily to make those goals happen.

I’m grateful for 18 straight days of exercise. I’m grateful that I can already see the transformation in my body. I’m grateful that I feel healthier than I did before.

It’s a beautiful Sunday, enjoy it everyone!

Today I am grateful for:

Both twins at home

A relaxed Sunday morning with snuggles from Taz twice. He came back for more.

My son has two colleges to choose from for next year and possibly a third he is wait listed for. Very exciting.

A family getaway planned for next weekend and a chance to see one of the colleges.

That I can be present for my son while he goes through this process.

A nice hotel room that Aly can stay at safely next weekend while we go to tour the college.

My job and a steady paycheck. I can pay the mortgage again this month.

That I took the leap and decided to have kids as a single mom. I’m so much happier than I would have been without them.

That you all are here keeping the gratitude thread going and I can join in once in a while.

Sobriety

My Sunday women’s meeting and the friendships I’ve made.

My zoom step study that is challenging me.

A four day workweek this week. Yay!

Today I’m grateful for:

  1. The ability to take part in TMS even though insurance may not cover it. They said my history of bulimia and alcohol use disorder precludes me from coverage for this therapeutic modality, even though TMS is used to treat both of those diagnoses. But the TMS people said the company will cover my treatment down to the same cost.
  2. Trashy TV shows to keep me lighthearted
  3. A husband who wants to be active doing things, where my nature is to stay home and do nothing. I appreciate him pushing me.
  4. Reconnection with old friends
  5. My sweet dog laying on my foot right now. I adore him.
  6. Talking sober and all of the contributors to this lovely community
  7. Journaling my feelings
  8. Going through difficult feelings sober
  9. Caffeine
  10. New plants

I’m grateful that I sleep with my phone turned off. I woke up this morning to find out my grandpa is in the hospital and has cancer that he never knew about. I’m grateful that I had a good night’s sleep so I can process all this with a fresh brain.

I’m grateful for the love and support of my friends that I shared this with. Feeling supported is huge for the human experience.

I’m grateful that I get “Good Morning” texts from people, it’s something simple that makes a huge impact.

I’m grateful I live in a safe town, away from the city. I’m grateful that I don’t have to worry about any of the news that comes out of there.

I’m grateful to have money for gas and groceries as so many are struggling right now, including people that I know personally.

It’s a great day to reflect on the position that I have in life. I’m grateful that I can have the perspective of being thankful in my heart!

Have a good day everyone!

I’m very grateful for this week. I’m grateful that I got to watch my son play basketball last night. I’m grateful to see his excitement when he sees me in the crowd.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to have a follow up meeting with my boss today about a new role that I want.

I’m grateful that tomorrow I get to volunteer at the skating rink for my kids class trip. I’m grateful that I get to see him and his friends interact.

I’m grateful that on Thursday (God willing) I get to see my grandpa who’s been diagnosed with cancer. I’ll get to see my aunts, uncles and cousins too.

I’m grateful to be in a position with perspective that I can appreciate all these different aspects of my life that I’ve taken for granted in the past. I’m grateful the simple moments are feeling very sweet in my heart and mind.

Enjoy the day everyone!
