Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery #10

I am grateful.

  • I wrote a letter to my close friend. Wasn’t easy, did it finally.
  • I watched a really good movie with my daughter tonight. We had a good time.
  • I asked my partner for help. That’s still a tough one for me.
  • I am in a moral dilemma and I am getting an idea how I can solve it.
  • I am preparing my birthday party next weekend. 10 friends are coming. I am grateful to have so many real friends in my life.

This morning I’m grateful for:

A good night’s sleep.

A new coworker with impressive emotional intelligence that feels safe to be at ease around.

The resident snowshoe hare that surveys the yard from my deck most mornings.

Getting to see my son improve so much in baseball.

My al-anon home group.

The quiet around my modest little home.

Learning how to channel anger.

Grateful that though I am struggling for gratitude today, I know how important it is (science proves it)!

Grateful I ate two substantial meals today.

Grateful I am better than I am telling myself today. Self-talk is important, truth and simplicity + kindness and grace are reasons to be grateful. I can control that.

I‘m grateful.

After a long day, I arrived at my parents‘ house, safe and sound.
I know it in my heart that there are many more things I‘m grateful for. But I‘m too tired to write them down. I‘m grateful I‘m feeling it.

Yesss! :flexed_biceps: Happiest Anniversary to you both! I hope you celebrate in grand style! With kids and in-law kids and grandkiddos and doggos and the comfy truth that none of ‘em are in your control… but you’ve got each other and you’ve each got your sobriety. It probably doesn’t get any better than that, hey?

Super duper grateful for you. :relieved_face::orange_heart::folded_hands:
