Today I’m grateful for a massage, it was wonderful.
I’m grateful for cooler weather (but still no rain, horrible).
I’m grateful I vacuumed and mopped the floors. A deep clean was necessary.
I’m grateful for my zoo, they are lovely, funny, silly and cuddlebugs :sparkling_heart:
I’m grateful for new pictures of Dr. Doolittle, OMG this cat grows :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
I’m grateful all cats got a bum cut, the dog got brushed and his nails clipped without drama. my big snoring drama king was cooperative today (relatively :joy:)

I’m grateful the rest of the week is off. No appointments. Just me and my work :grin: I’m blessed and grateful I can live & work at my pace :folded_hands:

I’m grateful dinner is waiting for me and I will sleep in fresh linen. It feels so nice.

Gratefulness for today :pray:

:crystal_ball: I am so very grateful for my Higher Power. Grateful for my conection and my faith
:crystal_ball: I am so very grateful that I recognize that it (my health) will get worse before I will see improvement. I have faith that it will get better. I know some days I can get overwhelmed with having to deal with the same shit daily without any reprieve but luckily I am able to get myself to a positive mindset filled with hope
:crystal_ball: I am so very grateful that I was gentle with myself and didn’t get upset for missing swimming 4 days in a row. Tomorrow I have a weird work schedule so may have to wait another day to get back to the pool.
:crystal_ball: I am so very grateful for my family. Grateful for our daily calls with my sister. I missed a few this week so it was nice to have a one on one today with her.
:crystal_ball: I am so very grateful for easy 15 minute meals. Grateful that I am able to find new recipes to try that fit my diet needs
:crystal_ball: I am so very grateful for realizing that the new detox massages I have added to my daily routine could be the cause of my upset stomach and extra sharp headaches. Grateful that I am able to power through cause I can not afford to give up on ridding my body of these toxins.
:crystal_ball: I am so very grateful for my 2 cups of black rich coffee.
:crystal_ball: I am so very grateful that I did get some sleep last night. Not a whole lot but more than my usual. Grateful that I was able to lay in bed for hours just resting this morning. Grateful that I managed to get the urgent items taken care of today.
:crystal_ball: I am so very grateful for my hand held spritzer / fan that I can carry with me as an attempt to battle this heat (Just have to remember to put in cold water LOL – I let it sit in the car for 10 minutes and ended up spraying hot water on myself :laughing: )
:crystal_ball: I am so very grateful red light therapy. Grateful that I remembered that I have a belt at home and can help me work on my cells.
:crystal_ball: I am so very grateful for all the knowledge at our fingertips. Grateful to know some treatments are trial and error and some you have to listen to your body to know if they suit you.
:crystal_ball: I am so very grateful to be back here among my sober peeps. Grateful to know that I am not alone on this journey and we are all here working on a better life for ourselves
:crystal_ball: I am so very grateful for gratitude!

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

I’m grateful I called the vet today to tell them he’s not enthusiastically eating but he is eating. A bit. I’m grateful the tech took the time to calm me down and ensure me he’s eating enough even if it isn’t much. I’m grateful otherwise he seems fine. I’m grateful he had a good :poop: and a whizzy this morning. Especially since all that cottage cheese and new foods and snacks I’ve been trying. Little fucker :winking_face_with_tongue: is driving me crazy. I’m grateful he’s a good boy and I keep that silly high pitched voice to him when I’m around him.

I’m grateful for my health.
I grateful for all the shit I can get done in a day. Even if I’m pissy about it.
I’m grateful I get to go to the dentist this afternoon for a cleaning and a checkup. I’m grateful it’ll be a break in my busy day.

I’m grateful for after nap coffee and it doesn’t keep me up at night.
I’m grateful for mandarin oranges.
I’m grateful for indoor plumbing.
I’m grateful for you! Ya you! :winking_face_with_tongue: @I.cant.We.can where the hell you been?
I’m grateful for my meditation music.
I’m grateful today is going to be an easy day.
I’m grateful I got a new healthy grandson and for shared albums.
I’m grateful I got my life together. Enough :squinting_face_with_tongue:
