Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery #10

[Cocojanie13]

This Sunday morning I’m grateful for:

Sitting outside in my garden with a coffee and Rocky at 6am and reflecting on the last few weeks. Still have down days after my close friend passed but grateful for the relationship we had and the memories I cherish with him

A beautiful, slightly cooler morning

Seeing my family later for a bbq for my mums birthday

The birthday cake I made her turned out pretty amazing, always hit and miss I find when making things gluten and egg free but super pleased with the result

My 15 yr old still buzzing from his weekend away in Paris last week, love that for him

A better nights sleep last night

Countryside walks

Living my life

Another day sober

Sending hugs. Grief is not linear

I am greatful we finished an awesome quirky sci fi comedy on hulu. “Good luck. Have fun. Dont die.”

I am greatful to meet people where they are at

I am greatful for family

I am greatful for abundance of connection, love, community, and money

I am greatful i have enough

I am greatful i am enough

Sorry to hear about your friend. Grief can sneak up on you at any time love so do take care of yourself. Sending comforting hugs your way

Happy birthday mom - hope you have a splendid time at the BBQ. Glad to hear that the GF Egg free cake turned out. I know how finicky that type of baking can be.

Sunday morning Gratitude

I am so very grateful that I got my ass up and went swimming. I so wanted to lay in bed and am very grateful that I didn’t. I know I have a chill day so I can rest now and still feel good about having gotten the swim in.
I am so very grateful that my friend showed up and I was able to share my lane with her rather than a stranger who may or may not know how to swim

I am so very grateful that I got some chores/ errands done along the way to the gym and back so now I have time to enjoy coffee and TS.
I am so very grateful that the day is enjoyable enough to enjoy sitting out on the balcony. We are due for a major heat wave and I want to enjoy the outdoors for as long as I can before having to hibernate indoors.

I am so very grateful for my morning coffee.
I am so very grateful to have spoken to my sister last night. She came home from a 13 day Alaskan adventure with a group of woman she had never met. It was a thrilling experience and I am grateful to have been able to somewhat follow along with her groups photos.
I am so very grateful for my family.

I am so very grateful for a short week coming up.

I am so very grateful that I wanted to rent a movie on Prime and found it for free due to some Prime credits - Love when that happens. Now I just have to find the time to watch it before it expires LOL

I am so very grateful for the peace and quiet around here this morning.
I am so very grateful that I have 3 outdoor pools to choose from for next Saturday when the gym will be closed for the 4th of July.

I am so very grateful my Ninja Blender and Cold Press juicer. So very grateful for gadgets that help make my health journey easier to navigate

I am so very grateful for my Higher Power an my connection to Him

I am so very grateful for this community and this space. Grateful to be able to connect with my peers when I am feeling wobbly in my sobriety. Grateful to know that I have tools and support to help me keep moving forward. Grateful to know that numbing myself with addiction will solve nothing and only bring on a whole slew of new problems.
I am just grateful

Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day - sending you all so much love

I’m grateful for quiet time and coffee as I wait for the Entyce to kick in for Jojo.

I’m grateful I don’t have to deal with the DMV and the post office to hunt down my registration that came yesterday for my car.

I’m grateful for all the fun time I’m having with Gus, especially in the garden painting.

I’m grateful for the pics of my new grandson.
I’m grateful we are able to wait until the end of July and into August to visit them in Dallas.

I’m grateful JoJo’s recovery is coming along well.
I’m grateful my wife’s recovery is coming along well.
I’m grateful I don’t need to be recovering from anything. Physically. Except back pain. but I’m grateful my ice pack seems to do the trick.
I’m grateful my days are so busy. I don’t know how I would find time to drink anyway!

I’m grateful I sleep like a Yule log.

I’m grateful I figured out why or rather how to fix the heater in my pool as it was not communicating with the spa. I’m grateful I went into advanced settings scared and found the problem.

I’m grateful we can babysit my grand cat Raz in the Casita.

I’m grateful for Entyce so Jojo will eat. It’s an appetite stimulator. Other than that he’s pooping and eating really well and I’m grateful for that. I’m grateful for cottage cheese and kibble. He seems to like that.

I’m grateful for beautiful, cool Southern California mornings, and warm afternoons and cool evenings.

I’m grateful I was able to fertilize my garden and my citrus trees yesterday.

I’m grateful there’s so much I want to do and can’t do because I get to convalesce with my dog and spend a lot of time with him while he recovers from his bilateral knee surgery. And I’m grateful for the rest that I get to have while I just sit with him.

I’m grateful to be able to say at the end of the day. I’m exhausted.

I’m grateful I no longer have woodpecker problems and neither does my Neighbor. I’m grateful for the shiny disc bird scare thingies that I had my handyman hang all around my house. Even grateful it looks like a disco ball when it shines off the sun and reflects different places.

I’m grateful for gratitude.

I’m grateful I’ve had plenty of time to get into the World Cup and I’m really enjoying it.

Sunday gratitude.

Today I’m again grateful for the A/C and that I can hide from the heat indoor. I’m grateful my big dog is doing ok indoor too. I’m grateful we spend a lot of time cuddling, him, me and the cats

I’m grateful a far away living friend visited me today and we had a lovely chat. Grateful for friends

I’m grateful my tidying and cleaning mojo was high today. Another one and a half spot clean, tidy and in order I can hardly express how grateful I am that for the first time in my life this kind of order, structure and ongoing decluttering on a never known low level is possible. I’m grateful most of too much left my life

I’m grateful for series to rewatch for the umpteenth time, for showers, my comfy couch and sparkling water.

I’m grateful for all my blessings and my life as it is.
