I am grateful it’s Saturday, and I can stay home. I’m grateful to get to spend time with some people I care about today. I’m grateful I was invited to a nice dinner with a vendors sales rep with a new team at work last night, because it was super delicious. I’m grateful that even though I don’t know people well and I was anxious, and even though the table was small enough for me to smell the $200 bottle of wine others shared, I didn’t want to drink. It did give me an uneasy feeling that I didn’t much care for, like when you look over the edge of a cliff and get the feeling of falling or slipping even though you’re not. But it was free, I got to know some people on the team a bit better, and I made relatively ok dietary choices, so that’s definitely a win in my book.

I am grateful I have these impulses to do things NOW. I almost exploded in anger last night about another shit story with one of my bikes (seems like a never f* ending story atm). I had to keep myself back to not destroy it as I was so angry. I got up this morning, went down at 6 am and got the wheel back in like nothing. 
I am grateful I can accept this although it showed me a bit of my mental state which might be worrisome.
I am grateful people get back to normal Covid-wise. At least it’s my impression. And I am grateful that I still don’t have to smell peoples breath when I am queing in a line in a supermarket 
I am grateful I am okay. I am grateful I didn’t drink last night. I had a brief thought. Wft.
I am grateful for my punching ball.

Brunchtime check-in. Today I’m grateful I sat with candles and the Advent wreath yesterday evening having a long and intense prayer. I’m grateful for service on TV this morning, it touched me deeply.
It’s sunday again and I miss my mum and my husband, our together time.
I need to drive over to my mum’s house. I need wood for the stove, fetch the post, tomorrow the garbage will be collected. I’m grateful I refused to force me to do things over the last months. Now it’s time to start over again and move my overemotional ass to do these things. They don’t bite, I’ve done them before. But I don’t want to go alone. I’m grateful I realize how odd this sounds when I write it down. I’m a 49 year old woman with tons of experience of life, not a 4 year old who’s afraid of all the world outside her barbie home. I’m grateful I am able to kick my own ass out of my comfort zone most times when I need it. So there I go. Be back later.

Happy Sunday morning!
I’m grateful to be safe and healthy and sober!
I’m grateful that my husband is enjoying his new job and was happy to return to work this week after 2 weeks away with COVID and thanksgiving.
I’m grateful that when my car decided to have a major breakdown it was as I arrived home and was safely in the driveway.
I’m grateful that I have money in the bank to pay for the repair.
I’m grateful that I took the big step and asked my mother for help by lending me her car for two weeks while we wait for the car repair. That was not easy for me. But it is saving me a lot of money for a car rental.
I’m grateful that we had a nice visit with my husband’s family on Saturday and that most things are going well for them. We are very sad about the horrific situation of a niece who is so deep in her addiction that she is at extreme risk of dying soon. I’m so grateful that her mother and grandmother have already adopted her children and are providing them a safe home and much love.
I’m grateful to have a manageable workload at school right now. We have major testing going on and we actually have enough staff to do it well.
I’m grateful for a quiet Sunday to read my books, write in my journal, and cook a good meal.
I’m grateful that my brother is making healthy progress in his personal issues.
I’m grateful that he has shared his progress with our mother and that she is acknowledging the challenges he faces and is appreciative of the support I’ve been able to give him.
I’m grateful for a loving marriage.
I’m grateful for the gift of sobriety that I gave myself 402 days ago!
Have a safe and peaceful Sunday. Make your own joy!

- I’m grateful I didn’t go back to bed after 5am whizzies outside with the dogs. I felt good. Bed early. Up early.
- I’m grateful, I think I’ve learned, even though it might be “too early,” to get up. If I go back to bed and catch a couple more
I always wake up feeling like shit. So up and quiet time I am. - I’m grateful I can always take a nap or a nice relaxing meditation if I want to.
- I’m grateful to see both Bootz and M on here at the same time. I love their way with words. Kinda classes up the joint
- I’m grateful it’s only a 2 hour drive today instead of 8.
- I’m grateful for the vintage Christmas ornaments I found on line and to be able to send some cool ones to my daughter-in-law for baby’s first Christmas.
- I’m grateful for remote temperature controls, I can turn the heat back down while in bed without getting out of bed. Lazy bum
- I’m grateful this no repeat gratitude practice is really slowing me down and making me work harder on myself and I’m seeing results.
- I’m grateful I thought of Anna and her video she posted the other day when I saw the flight attendants cute shiny red and green little Christmas boxes earrings, and I complimented them to her and her smile was so worth it as she was working hard to get everyone on the plane. And also when I saw this lady struggling to catch her bag on the luggage carousel and I gallantly stepped up to easily get her bag off the carousel.
- I’m grateful she’s the one that said “how gallant of you.” That would not be my description of myself.
Never stifle a generous impulse.
Big writing on the wall at Art’s Table on Montana and 10th in Santa Monica.
I wonder if it helps their tip %

I’m grateful for today. Perfect combo of rest and chores, quiet and conversing, being and doing. Yesterday was weird; it probably would have been a bad day in the before time, but I’m learning all about surrender - yay! In the end there were some good good things about the day that I’d have missed if I was still trying to make life fit what I think it should be. Here and there, a few more snowflakes o’ awareness fall…
I’m grateful for the wintery weather today. Blustery. Snow blowing all around and tree tops swaying. Suits the season. Grateful I feel more content this year with “what is” - could be the most content I’ve been in the last decade or so. Don’t get me wrong - “what is” is hardly a picture perfect postcard, (and I have an overemotional ass too, @erntedank), but methinks I gotta practice a little bit more of that surrender here too… Not always easy, but beats pouring wine all over my feelings…
Grateful for Mother Nature too, @Bluekoolaid. For Creator and creation. I’m grateful @Bootz put to words “taking the common good of each faith tradition, and seeking only to improve alignment with the Spirit.” I hope to take Mom to Christmas Eve service. And meditate with my Sangha on Christmas Day. I’m grateful for these opportunities, and to live in a country where I am free to practice and follow them. I’m grateful for what their place in my recovery.
Grateful I resisted the Sunday night urge to check work emails. Gets my mind going in the opposite direction it should be. They’ll still be there tomorrow morning! And I’m grateful that I’ll wake up grateful that I went to be sober.
I’m grateful for all of you.
I’m grateful for another day.

Grateful to see delightful pics of baby Norma!
And not sure I’ve ever classed anywhere up, but I’ll take it 
Edit: And, I’m daft. Beyond gullible. It is a hotel lobby, right? If not, I’d be grateful to know you’ve taken a course on ladder safety!

hello something lost in ingratitude and the postponement of doing the things that do me good. Today I am grateful for being alive, for breathing, really being able to do it and fill my lungs with air, oxygenate my stubborn head, today I am grateful because I have health, a roof and a plate of food on my table. Today I am grateful for the love of my family. Today I am thankful for feeling good being me, just for today. Today I am grateful for getting angry in less proportion with decisions that I cannot control in my work, for understanding that I saw the light by not getting hooked even though my head wants to resent it. today I am grateful that I get less angry and do not neurotically compel with anger, today I am grateful for helping my cousin with a job proposal. Today I am grateful for the music that I listened to and it made me happy. today I am grateful for having dinner with dad, for giving my dad a kiss when he said goodbye. Today I am thankful for taking time for this gratitude list. Today I am grateful for giving time to my recovery. just for today i don’t need to consume goodnight

Good morning gratitude.
Today I’m grateful I drove to my mum’s house yesterday. Everything was ok, I did what I had to do, I was grateful that everything was ok: the heating was working, nobody burgled the house, the cellar was not flooded … imagination running wild is a bad bad thing and causes me needless stress and panic. I’m so grateful I moved my overemotional ass and found out that there was nothing to worry and that I can handle the situation feeling ok 
Babysteps …
I’m grateful I made yummi noodles yesterday. There are leftovers for today.
I’m grateful for my purring, tamping cats on me. I love them so much.
I’m grateful I texted my husband yesterday and received an answer this morning. We have to talk about a lot of things and he texted me he will call today. Let’s see. I’m nervous about it because I still hold deep resentments against him. I don’t want to let them interfere with a constructive way of talking. I get upset very quickly and this behaviour will not help to better the situation. Again: imagination running wild.
I’m grateful for beach videos on youtube. They bring a feeling of vacation into the living room and calm me.
I’m grateful for no nightmares today. Dreaming of grooming the cats is nice.
I’m grateful for the safe and cozy feeling my bed gives me. Falling asleep relaxed is such a gift. It feels like all the stress and overburdening of the past years somehow magically left my body. I suppose this magic happens due to work and therapy I put in for half a year now. I’m grateful that life goes on

I’m grateful for 434 days of sobriety.
I’m grateful that my sobriety has become about so much more then just not drinking.
I’m grateful for small changes.
I’m grateful I live in a sunny place. I’ve always loved the snow, the winter. But as someone who is greatly affected by my surroundings, it’s nice to have the sun and warmth this time of year. I’m grateful I can still feel it’s a different season.
I’m grateful for candles, Christmas trees, lights. The warmth they give me. I’m grateful I can create that warm and cozy feeling when I’m needing a little extra.
I’m grateful for my coworkers who make me laugh and feel special.
I’m grateful I’m getting over my cold.
I’m grateful I’m finally off today, surrounded in bed by books and my journal.
I’m grateful for doggie walks.
I’m grateful I belong. I’m grateful that knowing that I do - starts with me. I’m grateful that I look outside of myself for that feeling less and less as time passes.
I’m grateful I’m sensitive and I allow myself to feel.
I’m grateful for chirpy birds and hot coffee.
I’m grateful for the gifts I’ve been given in life, that I can slow down and see them these days.
I’m grateful for today
