Grateful:

:revolving_hearts: Waking up this morning and remembering all the good things I have done so far in this life.
:revolving_hearts: Speaking with the VA and Nebraska Brain Injury Association today. Keeping my eyes on all the available help - because it changes. Grateful that they do a lot for a lot of people and not absorbing that they won’t help me.
:revolving_hearts: Just two more weeks for my kiddo to be in college. I did want to cry when he sent a picture of his empty studio. I cannot cry. I choose to be grateful that issues could be far worse.
:revolving_hearts: Spent some time cleaning the toilet, while gross, I have tiny alone time this morning.
:revolving_hearts: YOU. ME. This thread. My meetings. My choices.

I’m grateful for the daily loud ā€œrattlyā€ exhale of Daisy’s purr in the morning when she is so happy to see me alone without dogs.

I’m grateful for small breed dog zoomies. I thought only cats had that market cornered. I’m grateful for my 12 and 14 pound little monsters and they both get zoomies!

I’m grateful I’m confident now in handling my 2 little monsters. And when Jojo is so stressed out on his walk I just turn around and go home and get a different dog. Andy.

I’m grateful wifey can walk. Surgery was on her thumb :+1: and all went well. She’s in much pain but it’s so much better all around that she can walk.

I’m grateful I get on auto pilot around here, just like the lunch or after bar rush at Katz’s, and I am fully capable of taking care of everything. I’m grateful it’s my codependent slice of heaven and it all feels good and successful. I’m especially grateful I don’t reward myself by getting liquored up when everyone is in bed.

I’m grateful I can stick Alice today and do her subcutaneous fluids.

I’m grateful for peace and quiet, and coffee and meditation music with gratitude and my Courage to Change. All before feeding the dogs. I’m grateful they are resting on the couch. They’re fine. I’m grateful I’m in charge. Of at least that currently :joy:

Cherry picked from today’s Courage To Change. Because I feel sharing, sharing anywhere, is healing :mending_heart:

One of the most useful tools has been sharing in meetings and with members of the fellowship. When I put my experiences into words, they seem more real and I am less likely to push them aside. As a result, I can often face problems when they are still only slight irritations and deal with them before they grow and take over. Today I am not so interested in high drama; I’d rather have a real life.

Just going to extend my gratitude to a potential disability lawyer called to see if I had gotten my postponement. I called SSA and they didn’t even see that I had submitted that request. SOOOO - that might help.

I am grateful.

  • My phone is doing what it’s supposed to do.

  • My washing machine, dryer, dishwasher, vacuumer and mopping robot are doing what they are supposed to do.

  • My laptop, tablet and TV are doing what they are supposed to do.

  • My fridge, oven and espresso machine are doing what they are supposed to do.

  • My hairdryer, flattening iron and curler are doing what they are supposed to do.

  • My IPL laser is doing what it’s supposed to do.

  • My medication is doing what it’s supposed to do.

  • My rowing machine is doing what it’s supposed to do.

  • My teenage daughter isn’t doing what she’s supposed to do. And this is the thing I’m probably most grateful for today. Love her uniqueness so very much.

Grateful that I am having breakfast with my Mom today. I haven’t been to the restaurant since they moved locations more than two years ago.
Grateful I am present and convincing myself to stay that way. I can’t change the past. I can’t ā€œcontrolā€ the future. Every thing I do in the present - I do control.
Grateful for the sun shining.
Grateful my dogs happily didn’t bark when I took them out at 5am.
Grateful I spoke to many people yesterday regarding my life. I did have shared with me the opportunity to train as an advocate and public speaker for Brain Injury.
Grateful for you, me, this thread.
