Hey all.
Feeling pretty exhausted and down atm. It’s hard to find the things I am grateful for today, but these are the times it helps the most.
I’m grateful for the weekend, grateful for my health. Grateful for my new little rescue dog that will keep me company while I try and unwind.
Grateful for my husband who is always so loving and supportive, and takes care of me, especially when I’m feeling sad or run down.
I’m grateful I have a few tools in my toolbox to ground myself this weekend.
Grateful for this space to share. Much love to you all today

Aww! She’s so happy to be held by her Grandpa. Her face is beaming with lots of love. Seeing that pic makes my heart happy. Glad you made it safely. Hope the rest of your trip goes well. How could it not, being with that lil cutie pie.

After battling the worst illness I’ve ever had, I am so grateful to finally be well and remain sober. Sending healing vibes to anyone struggling with an illness, being sick is the worst!

Grateful this no-walk-in-the-park day is done, mostly, and that I end these days the same way I started them, AF AF and grateful! ( I’m borrowing from sober selfie CJP in honour of her numbers tomorrow!)
Grateful that when I was done at my desk I had a few good deep exhales and then bundled up for a walk, even though it is cold AF out there. Grateful I do love a good winter, and the changing seasons. Grateful that the days are a little longer already.
Grateful I will give myself a slower morning tomorrow. Then I gotta get busy and sorted for 9-10 days on the road. Grateful for some in-person work meetings in 2 cities and that I can combine these with a trip to visit my sweet Mama. It’s been too long since I hugged her.
Grateful I will be reunited with the dog girl on this trip! When her dad and I parted ways, a decade ago now, I was meant to take her, but when I traveled to do fieldwork we both knew she should stay with him. It evolved quickly into us sharing her, even though we live quite a distance apart, and in only her way, she sanded down our sharp edges, the ones left behind by our divorce. Now? We drive miles to exchange her. Text each other from her (she seems to swear a lot with him, lol). Grateful she spends the coldest, darkest parts of winter (I live in the north) with him, where it’s warmer. She is aging, so I am grateful for this time we each have with her, that we know it won’t always be this way. Recently, just to be a pest, I suggested we get the dog girl a cat. Ex was grateful for the “end call” button. 
I can’t wait to hug our dear dog in my arms. It’s been too long since I hugged her too.
I’m grateful for all of you. I’m grateful Bootz sent me a podcast for my drive. I’m grateful for things to look forward to.
I’m grateful for another day.

And I just love this… 
I also love the sounds of your fasting week retreat. I think I could handle about 18 weeks of that after this week!

To be honest a maximum of 10 - 14 days of fasting is recommended medically. How we are pampered at the resort … I could enjoy it for weeks Maybe not 18, I would miss my cats too much. I once did a 3 week Kneipp cure there. That was a gamechanger. I’m grateful the cats stayed with my parents then and were pampered too Lovely memories of late people and late pets and a wonderful time 15 years ago
I’m grateful I just realized that was before my ex and I became a couple.

I’m grateful to God thank you for guiding me through another day clean and sober.
I’m grateful to call it a night after a productive day. I’m grateful I received a call from a nurse to let me know my bloodwork shows I need an iron infusion and that should help my energy levels. I’m grateful to be working on acceptance in many areas and not having expectations at least unhealthy ones.
God bless you all. 
&
p.s. You are Awesome. Ya you!!

It is a Carmelite convent with 13 rooms for guests and monday to friday they offer outpatient health treatment. The different weekly health programms are offered all year. It’s a spiritually guided health resort but you don’t have to be spiritual to take part. The sisters are lovely but you won’t see them often besides the service times as they have their own daily routine.
There are several places which offer spiritual and/or health timeouts in different programms 
We are blessed to have this variety in Austria.
Oh, no pets allowed. Nowhere.

I am grateful for the smell of clean laundry and the outstandingly fantasic feeling of sleeping in a bed with fresh linnen. I am grateful for the february rains-snow-rain, which nature really needed. In addition it makes today also the perfect day for a visit at a museum and some coffee and cake after.
I am grateful for a healing connection with my family. For too long I distanced myself, because I didn’t feel worthy or welcome. Learning to honor my boundaries and prioritizing my needs made it possible, to establish a somewhat healthy relationship with them again (ups and downs included).
I am grateful for my cousins cat staying with me for a few days. She seems to feel comfortable being here with me - no more parting crys when she was dropped off at my house, but instant snuggles. It feels great to come home and be greated like this. Just love this fluffball.
I am grateful for today and whatever it may bring.

I’m thinking a Gratidudes reunion in Austria. 
The Hills Are Alive Can I charter the whole place for a week of spiritual gratitude, fasting, and pampering for all of us?

I’m pretty sure we would need the big retirement home next to it too for all the gratidudes and -dudettes
This is such a nice idea, I will take it with me to sleep over it some time. My sleep doesn’t only produce nightmares but also good stuff

Happy Saturday morning all! I woke up at 5 am with ideas of things to do for my students! I am not hungover and full of regret. I’m grateful to be sober!
I’m grateful that it was a pretty easy week with multiple days off work due to weather. It is like a mini vacation!
I’m grateful that February is almost over and spring is approaching now from a distance.
I’m grateful that my husband’s diabetes is back under control after several months of struggle. COVID sent his disease out of control and this has been a worry and frustration for us.
I’m grateful that the hubby and I are motivated to try a new adventure. We are signed up for a long distance biking event in July. It is called RAGBRAI, it is a week long group ride across the state of Iowa. This gives us an adventure to train for, plan for and anticipate. Many years ago I did several similar events. It is a lot of work and a lot of fun. I watched some YouTube videos about it and it looks like a lot of fun. We will also need to plan for the presence of a lot of drinking too it seems. Planning for this will be a key for me.
I’m grateful to be healthy enough to take on this challenge! I will start training as soon as the ice is off the roads. Training wheels may be necessary as I have not been doing much riding recently.
I’m grateful for work that I mostly enjoy. I got some time in the classroom on Friday to de clutter the space. Soon we will be on the countdown to summer.
I’m grateful to have the means to take some adventure trips. The hubby reserved us a cabin for a few days of spring break in a few weeks. We will take the bikes and get out for some miles!
I’m grateful for a safe and loving home.
I’m grateful for a loving marriage that continues to grow in fun and adventure.
I’m grateful to be sober and have the time and mental space to make real fun in my life. Being sober is a gift I’ve done for myself and I’m so grateful to have found the resources and strength to make it happen. I’m free!
I wish you all the best. I wish you peace.

Today I am grateful to be able to read and learn from so many thriving in sobriety on this forum. I am grateful for my son, for friends, and for our home full of fur-babies. I am grateful for time to journal and meditate this morning as well as time and access to the beautiful landscapes of the region where I live. I am grateful to see my son coach and to spend time with my best friend coming for a visit. I am grateful for the motivation a purpose my business launch provides. I am most grateful for this sober Saturday and intend to make the most of it.

I’m grateful it’s finally 7 am. I got up at 3 and had some hotel espresso. Then as I was about to head down for some grateful lobby coffe, I checked my phone and it was only 3:30 
. I thought it said 3. I guess that 6 was a 3
I’m grateful for my lobby coffee now at 7 
I’m grateful I tried to savor every moment with my son and his family yesterday and not take any pictures. It was hard. I failed. But I only took pictures once at dinner. And it was so worth it to see the love and joy on my sons face holding my happy smiling granddaughter. And I will treasure that pic and so will they.
I’m grateful I will try and not take any pictures today except once. I will just live in the moment and not spend all day trying to take “the best,” pic. But when I do give myself permission to take just one pic. It’s going to be gratefully fucking awesome.
I’m grateful to be embracing grief and loss. I’m grateful I’m in a fucking daze of serenity. Kind of like the second day after a funeral. I’m not balling my eyes out anymore. But there is a realization. I’m grateful I don’t have to do anything about my life and shit today. I’m grateful all I want to do is be present to soak up the love of my granddaughter and son and my favorite daughter in law.

Good morning grateful friends.
I’m grateful for another day sober.
I’m grateful my cats let me sleep in a bit.
I’m grateful it’s Saturday and I don’t have too much to do today. I feel like I still need extra rest.
I’m grateful for curbside pickup of groceries and that I can take my time putting together an order and actually order healthy food and not be tempted by the cookie aisle.
I’m grateful for the support of my boyfriend. We are both going through tough times and finding comfort in spending time together.
I’m grateful yesterday’s medical procedure is behind me and the pain has subsided. I’m trying not to stress about the results until I have them. Nothing I can do about it until then.
I’m grateful for OFDAAT.
