I am sorry for your loss @maxwell . I always love the pics of both of them. :upside_down_face:

I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful for candles.
I am grateful I can walk.
I am grateful Yoga came into my life.
I am grateful I found TS.
I am grateful I realized some things yesterday. They sounded like excuses. They probably are. They are also a reality for me and I have to handle them. In some time. It’s me who is responsible for it every fucking time. Yet, there is time to put the hammer back and stop beating me down for being down already.
I am grateful it’s the weekend.
I am grateful that in less than 3 weeks the days are getting longer again :grimacing::tada::partying_face:

Lunchtime check-in: I’m grateful for delicious food. I’m grateful for masks, I always wear a mask when I go shopping, I want to protect myself as good as I can.

I’m grateful the cats were roughhousing after lunch. It was so funny.
I’m grateful I realize that I’m still grumpy and angry at my husband. I’m grateful I practice pause and the serenity prayer.
I’m grateful my afternoon will be filled with cuddling cats, a nap, watching series and drinking tea.

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. :roll_eyes::grimacing:
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 :unamused:
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!

  1. I’m grateful I didn’t go back to bed after 5am whizzies outside with the dogs. I felt good. Bed early. Up early.
  2. 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 :zzz: :zzz: I always wake up feeling like shit. So up and quiet time I am.
  3. I’m grateful I can always take a nap or a nice relaxing meditation if I want to.
  4. 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 :blush:
  5. I’m grateful it’s only a 2 hour drive today instead of 8.
  6. 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.
  7. I’m grateful for remote temperature controls, I can turn the heat back down while in bed without getting out of bed. Lazy bum :face_with_hand_over_mouth:
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. I’m grateful she’s the one that said “how gallant of you.” That would not be my description of myself.
