Hubby’s 70th birthday party went splendid last week
Visit to hubby’s work home was actually a pure joy
New shoes
Realizing my good fortune to live in a nature preserve even keeping it watered and birds fed are chores
First free range day for chicks went well. Chicks ended up investigating older chicken’s coop while my older chickens checked out the chicks coop. Hilarious.
Being able to leave home for a few days with roommate holding down the fort

Grateful for the delishious garden radishes I picked yesterday and the juicy green salad. Grateful its a slow sunday.

Welcome @igm12. Glad you found us.

I’m grateful Jojo’s recovery is coming along nicely. I’m grateful he’s whizzing, eating, pooping and drinking water. I’m grateful I figured out how to take off the cone of shame and put on his lick sleeves. I’m grateful I feel more confident doing things like nursing a dog back to health after bilateral knee surgery. I’m grateful for YouTube to learn simple things like taking off that E-collar. It was so easy. I’m grateful he’s resting now this morning and so am I. I’m grateful he can walk a bit. I’m grateful I remember the 5-10 minute rule for him to be up. I’m grateful I’m not frightened anymore.

I’m grateful my son just FaceTimed me happy Father’s Day :heart: I’m grateful my daughter sent me some cute happy Father’s Day gifs.

I’m grateful the Dallas peeps had a great big blow out 4 year old party for my granddaughter and now they will be off to the hospital to wait for Miles to make an appearance :baby:

I’m grateful I get to take my life one day at a time. Sometimes one chore at a time. Or one grateful moment at a time.

I’m grateful wifey is doing so much more now after her thumb surgery. It’s a long recovery process but she is getting there.

I’m grateful I got more than enough. I don’t know why. But I do. I’m grateful I don’t always think, I don’t deserve it anymore. Maybe I do. Maybe I don’t. We’ll never know. I’m grateful for my lovely forever last home.

I am grateful that I called my father, even not wanting to. It matters to me that I do the right thing. He has made choices I don’t agree with. However, I do not control him.

Grateful that tomorrow morning I have an appointment with the VA. They may help me with housing, should I move to another city…I go there for football games, all the time, so why not? There is no waiting list there to get help like there is here.

Grateful I ate breakfast and lunch…OK…it’s 7pm..but dang it, two meals matter! Why? I am grateful I matter!

Grateful for resilience. Regardless the amount of time I spend in a sobriety group, new things line up directly with what we focus on with my TBI group. Window of Tolerance and Resilience are both biggies with them….I can “translate” items spoken in the sober world, while dealing with the same, yet different items in that world.

Today I am SO thankful for:

A wonderful card form my son for Father’s day.

Getting to see him perform in a funny and cute play this afternoon.

An excellent bike ride to the beach with him followed by dinner and archery in the back yard.

A long walk with the dog to my favorite waterfall.

The summer solstice and the long day and knowingbit will close with fireflies in the tall grass of my field.
