I’m grateful it’s friday. Friday tends to be my chosen day for going slow lately. I’m grateful I took time to sleep in, cuddle cats & dog, had extra playtime with my big cutie and took my time for an extended breakfast with tea & hot chocolate.
I’m grateful I feel a bit more ME again today, emotions and mood were off track a lot in the last weeks, maybe months. I’m grateful yesterday’s therapy session seems to help with this, it was one of those sessions when I felt very different afterwards and this feeling settles in slowly :folded_hands:

I’m grateful I became very strict on the no bullshit rule and communicate accordingly. I heartfelt dislike people trying to push me and speed things that need time for correct processing. You don’t like it? Then leave it.

I’m grateful for tons of life experience and wisdom. Again: No bullshit accepted based on lotsa bullshit in the past.

I’m grateful I live alone, I can do as I please and no enervating nagging ignorant drunken unsupportive male around. I celebrate that all the negativity and hurt left my life to shut up the mimimi remiscing on the good times making me feel lonely and half. I’m whole, I’m enough, I’m living my best life, shut up you fucking mimimi :roll_eyes:

I’m grateful for the semi-boring, long-winded new series I still watch, in fast forward mode I’ll be through it soon and not have missed any storyline. Yesterday I “watched” 5 episodes in about 2 hours :joy::see_no_evil_monkey:

I’m grateful for all the fun in my life.
I’m grateful I do my best every day.
I’m grateful for the small daily wins, tasks checked off, things done, daily chores handled, little (and normal or sometimes big) things that I get done, one after another. I’m grateful they add up and I keep going. On days like today slowly, relaxed, nonetheless I get things done. I’m grateful I found my path and I’m putting daily effort in. It has taken me incredibly far away from where I came from into a life I deeply cherish :four_leaf_clover::sparkling_heart:

This was beautiful! And OMG!!! Your Friday morning sounds amazing! :heart_eyes: I try to do something similar on Saturday mornings, but it’s not alone time so it feels different. Still, I enjoy those lazy mornings.

Im grateful that being a rainy friday night. I wanted to make a hot chocolate and had no milk so was able to drive sober to the shops and buy milk and a few snacks to come back to a warm bed and watch movies.

I’m grateful for my awareness. Awareness of my moods, my thinking, my actions and my intentions.

I’m grateful for this glorious Friday. I’m grateful for the opportunity to go to the Masjid with my kids and dad. I’m grateful to be able to have dinner with my parents tonight and spend the night at their home.

I’m grateful that today is the last day of donations for my charity and I have raised $286 to help feed those in my community.

I’m grateful for a kind heart, a caring heart, a forgiving heart. A heart of understanding and compassion.

Have an amazing day everyone, may peace be with you.

I’m grateful for my safe travels. It was a heck of a drive through whiteout conditions yesterday.

I’m grateful for a day in the kitchen with my mom, cooking a few of my favourite dishes.

I’m grateful for spending the night at my parents place with my family. I’m grateful my sisters kids came over and my kids got to spend time with their cousins.

I’m grateful for a peaceful morning of reflection. I’m grateful for the slower pace I’m moving with today. I’m grateful that I’m letting the morning come to me instead of forcing it.

Enjoy the day everyone!

Being able to live life on life’s terms, knowing when I’m wrong, making better choices, seeing people differently, acting more responsible.

Having more emotions than just fear, these days I cry easier and I laugh harder. Grateful I can feel life.

Saturday gratitude.
Today I have a lot to be grateful for on this mediocre day :folded_hands:
I’m grateful for:

  • Catching some sleep in the morning hours after being up far past midnight because I slept all afternoon yesterday and couldn’t sleep in the evening.
  • The semi-boring series turned into full-boring and I finished it in super-fast-forward-mode :joy: I hope the next choice will be more entertaining.
  • Big dog cuddles
  • Mini-monster hijacking me :see_no_evil_monkey: Young cats :joy::joy::joy:
  • Missi cat purrs and love :sparkling_heart:
  • Watson yodeling, oh this brat and her stealing seedbags and eating my food (I’m talking about a cat, not a dog!)
  • Friends, good talks, catching up, feeling connected, expressing love & care
  • A healthy distance to look at things and not taking things personally (thank you @Dazercat :folded_hands:)
  • My gross dirty, messy home. I love it. It’s mine and nobody elses. It will get better soon. Respecting my limits and setting priorities comes first :folded_hands:
  • My reliable car to go grocery shopping (just 5 items but needed) shortly before shops close. Grateful to have shops within 5 min. drive.
  • Killing a tick, fucking pests
  • Homemade fruit bowl (not grateful for overeating)
  • The peace and serenity that still settle in after therapy on thursday :folded_hands:
  • Getting a compliment how long my hair grew :blush:
  • Me. I’m grateful to be me. I’m grateful I do the best I can every day. I’m grateful I keep going.
