The ability to get through situations with a 100% success rate even when I don’t think I can beforehand.
Realizing my thinking is at fault and not other people.
Smiling and carrying on as usual instead of freaking out at the smallest thing.

I’m incredibly grateful for:
My truck getting fixed.
Feeling better about the things I’ve built over the 8 years I’ve been in this home.
The frogs still singing in the pond.
A cool evening in the field with the moon and the fireflies.
People going out of their way to console me over the hurdles placed in front of me by silly city council egomaniacs.
Letting my presence and my consistency and my actions to speak for themselves.
An incredibly kind supervisor and administrator who seem to value what I do.

Last week my moms husband unexpectedly died. He just fell over in the streets and couldn’t be reanimated. No need to explain to you the storm of difficult emotions that comes with such a suddden tragic loss. There are a thousand descisions to be made and some unexpected things popped up that we didn’t know about. We are dealing, bruised and sad and angry and scared, but we are moving - one step at a time. I am utterly grateful for this phrase and the idea behind it. I don’t need to have everything figured out right now. I can do one tiny step after the next. Slow, sad. Just one step. And then another. That’s good enough.

I am grateful.
- The train is empty, on time and brings me safely to my workplace.
- I can read, have coffee, practice gratitude on my way to work.
- I had a quiet and peaceful morning with my partner.
- The love between the two of us is growing constantly.
- I have nice clothes, nailpolish and earrings to wear today. It makes me feel pretty.
- My colleagues offered me help and I feel free to take it of needed. An experience that’s the opposite of my last job, where a colleague bullied me out. The trust is coming back.
- Breathing techniques to calm me down.
- My yoga class yesterday was very nice and I feel my muscles.
- TS and all of you
- Peace in my country.

I am grateful to be sober.
I am glad a friend here gave me a head’s up during my last kilometres today. The heat was just too much and I was close to crying due to exhaustion and frustration.
I am grateful I made it though.
I am glad I’ll be sleeping in my own bed tomorrow. Maybe I’ll be leaving even earlier because until 9 am it was still okay.
I am grateful I made it to 2 months without caffeine. Who would have thought. Won’t go back.
I am grateful for podcasts.
I am grateful I can rest now although I don’t know how I’ll sleep with the heat.

Gratitude is a practice so I will:
I’m grateful for microwaved breakfast burritos with good hot sauce.
I’m grateful I am able to better listen to my body’s signals about food and hunger.
I’m grateful for travel and for my home.
I’m grateful for the three furry weirdos who live with me. 
I’m grateful that recovery is making me gentler with myself. I’m usually gentle with others but it is nice to extend myself the same courtesy.
I’m grateful for a working Friday and a weekend off.
I’m grateful for this place (TS) and for the world in general. What a trip that we get to be here.

*Grateful that I woke up knowing that I have the strength to address my feelings. That I have learned a ton over the years, and exceedingly more now.
*Grateful that I stepped out to do the work I was hired for and acknowledge that it is not close to healthy for me, regardless of what people may think.
*Grateful I ate a proper breakfast, you know why? Because I addressed my feelings about that!
And as always, I am super grateful for each of you.

Friday gratitude.
It was a day …
Today I’m grateful I did petchores, plantchores and took care of myself. Nothing more, the two appointments in town, driving twice forth & back, used up all my energy.
I’m grateful my gyn told me all is fine, see you next year 
I’m grateful we 4 owners of our townhouses talked through the agenda at the owner meeting and decided how to proceed with things. We are 4 great women 
I’m heartfelt grateful we had a long chat afterwards at my direct neighbour’s, it was so good to see them and catch up 
I’m grateful for all the great, nice, lovely neighbours in my life, present and past (and hopefully future)
I’m grateful I am home, pets done for today, showered, a weekend just for me ahead.
I’m grateful the A/C keeps the house tempered.
I’m grateful for a wonderful concert on TV, I watch it every year (if i don’t fall asleep early).
I’m grateful for the Blue Danube Waltz, one of our inofficial national anthems (another one is I am from Austria by Reinhard Fendrich). This waltz never gets old 
I’m grateful for my life as it is now

Today I’m grateful for:
Doing the difficult work to give myself the gift of sobriety.
The people who asked to stop and pet my dog today.
Tasty and healthy meal that I prepped for the next few days.
Finding gratitude even when some things suck right now
Having the day off to celebrate an important milestone in this country’s sordid history.
Knowing that weeks like this are not the norm.
A higher power showing me where I need to improve by giving me the same lessons again and again.

I am greatful in this moment despite being woke up by an emergency with my sister in law at 1am and not being able to fall back asleep.
I am greatful i was able to listen to my husband and just let him vent. I think we both have compassion fatigue because his sister makes horrible decisions and tries to find her worth in men and just needs to focus on herself and bettering her life for her 2 kids.
I am greatful i can still be compassionate and save space for her pain while maintaining healthy boundaries.
I am greatful i can use this time to catch up on the checkin thread
I am greatful its the weekend and i dont have to work today so i can take a nap
I am greatful for life, sobriety, and the tools not to feed into chaos
