Today I’m grateful for:
~Discovering an art store near me that was on my way to the pet store
~Trying something new
~People that inspire me
~Acceptance and not being super upset that the hot tub had the death code error last night
~Him trying to fix it today
~Not having an attachment to it “needing” to be fixed or demanding a new one. It’d be nice but I’m feeling ok about whatever outcome happens
~Trusting the divine will
~Friday!!!
~Sharing a little more of myself
~Fresh flowers
~Feeling less cold during the days with different shoes
~Standing desks
~Showers waking me up for the day
I woke up before an alarm

Managed stress well this week

My growing connection with a higher power of my understanding
I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful I had some down time this afternoon which brought up some motivation to reorganize my living room. Which is kitchen, fitness, everything room. It doesn’t look like a cosy decorated room. It has to be functional.
I am grateful I decided to order a rack for my kettle bell and dumbbell zoo.
I am grateful the sun was out today.
I am grateful I could distract myself from feeling excluded at work by being concentrated and getting lots of projects done. It’s not always the right time to bath in all feelings.
I am grateful I have enough.
Friday gratitude.
Today I’m grateful I had yummi food.
I’m grateful for a lazy day besides stocking up on firewood.
I’m grateful for petlove and petfun.
I’m grateful for comfort and cozyness.
I’m grateful for a warm house.
I’m grateful that I’m inside, outside it’s foggy and grey.
I’m grateful I mastered today’s 1 year mark without upheavals. Next coming up soon. I’m grateful for my toolbox and meditation. I’m grateful after 1 year the memory is already blurred. I’m grateful I stick to my inner boundaries and focus on the present.

Grateful:
I was chosen as a 1099 Contractor to sell credit card service. No mystery for heavy competition for me.

Last minute of the day gratitude. I found the Jane Goodall interview on Netflix, that was only to be released after her death. Her words, I am deeply grateful for: “I know I have a mission, each and every day.” - Not precisely in order or verbatim, but YES, JANE! I thought that many times and have lost it for a bit. Thank you for bringing it back to my attention!
Edited to add: I wish I could cry again! So much emotion in the last minutes. I truly believe I should watch those minutes every single day.
23yo furnace is working well tonight
My wedding ring got cleaned and is super sparkly
My vision didnt get worse since last year
I didnt get pressured into buying from that eye dr…maybe they tried but i shut it down and they didnt push
Video calls with my mom
Self realization
A quick but quality 30min with hubby before i had to go to an apt and he had to go to rehersal
Improved communication
Mental health care
Therapy
Boscoes been cuddly today
Im ready for bookclub tomorrow
This is strangely one of my happiest readings of the day! My dogs have LOST IT today! You cannot adore motel-time with doggies, unless it turns out that way. Usually, it’s pretty chill here but today my puppers were inundated with screaming and yelling and pounding people in the hallways. Unusual here, but I don’t have control.
Yapping may be OK …THUNDER! Oof! She is scared of everything…but no one will try anything with me after hearing THAT. I will just go ahead and be grateful for that at this moment.
That quiet moment after i awake and i can try and channel my higher power in the stillness
Finding this awesome walmart coffee
Being able to buy all the groceries for meals planned
My husband
Boscoe, my shadow
Picking up that heavy phone and calling another alcoholic
I dont have to feel lonely anymore
Reached out to my tattoo artist to see if i can get on her books
Time
Patience
Saturdays
My houseplants are still alive
My mobility
Able to pay for gym memberships
Hugs
Today I’m grateful for:
~Starting this list from the hot tub! It lives another day
~Having a handy man
~Still appreciating every single day I have with it until things change again
~The honorary grandchild staying over
~Heading to see my mom today
~Being with her, my nephew, brother & sister on the anniversary of dad’s passing
~So effing grateful I don’t want to drink today
~Surrendering to a new way of life to not follow that same path
~My dad helping to guide me to AA
~Seeing him in a whole new light in my recovery
~Love, SO much love!
~Sleeping in
~Waking up another day
I always love ur gratitude lists. They are always so in depth. When i do my gratitude lists, they are always very obvious things to be grateful for. I would love to be able to really dig deep and find the not so obvious things that I am grateful for… like u do

Today I am grateful for: Having the weekend to rest my sore muscles so that I am ready for another weeks worth of workouts coming up. The gym and being able to see some slight progress in my weight (decreasing). Being at work and not calling off today. They are very short staffed (Im currently alone when there should be 2 staff with our client). Im grateful I could show my boss that I am reliable. My new lunch kit for work. I finally have a big enough lunch bag to store all my snacks lol. My sons messages this morning. He has fb messenger on his ipad so he can message me whenever he wants while Im at work (he doesnt have fb app tho as there is a lot of inappropriate things on their for kids, imo). Being clean and sober. God and the prayer I did this morning. My skin care routine. It truly helps me to feel better.
I’m grateful it’s Gus’s 3rd birthday today.
I’m grateful we seem to always have the “Party House,” so his party gets to be over here.
I’m grateful no one drinks in this group of us so I don’t have to deal with that. Not that it would be a big deal. They’d have to bring their own
I’m grateful it’s Alice time.
I’m grateful she ate her 3 times this morning.
I’m grateful the condo move in process is going ODAAT. I’m grateful I’m not focused on the problems of the condo today. I’m grateful I’m focused in Gus’s birthday.
I’m grateful I don’t have to report to jury duty til 1 pm Tuesday. I’m grateful I live in Ventura County and not LA County.
I’m grateful I’m stuck here with cat on lap, meditation music, and gratitude.
I’m grateful for sunny Southern California weather.
I’m grateful I got the brace off of my wrist and X-rays looked good. Still hurts from stiffness but better.
Im grateful there’s a bunch of shit coming up in the next couple of weeks with this condo and I can take it ODAAT. I’m grateful I can do my best. I’m grateful things will work out in time. Maybe not my time. But in time. I’m grateful that’s ok.
All the things i’m grateful for today. I am greatful for love…
I am greatful for Life, for health, for my family, for support around me, for having food in my fridge, a roof i provide for myself, a job that allowes me to survive in this world. Im greatful for my freedom, I am greatful for Creator- I hope he’s watching over us.
