I am grateful for my therapist, who helps me understand what happened to me when was younger and how it affected my life. So many things make sense now. I am grateful for her gentle support and being on my side of the field, always. I am grateful its never too late to learn and change patterns and habits. I love how I can see it working.
I am grateful for the connection I have with my little brother, despite being more than25 years apart in age. This weekend he pointed out his first newly grown beard hair to me 
. I am grateful for moments like this.
I am happy about all the seedlings I planted this weekend. What better way to be reminded of continuous growth and the importance of nurturing?
Have a splendid start of the week everyone

Morning gratitude 
Grateful I got my butt moving this morning and did not talk myself out of swimming, I really had to just stop the inner voice talking with myself and just do the action part and leave the house. Grafeful I did it, grafeful I went.
Grateful for a good night’s sleep 
Grafeful for the drs surgery I’m registered with. They really try to help me and understands my ongoing situation for the last 3 years. Some drs left and only one knew my situation through and through.
I’m grateful a few months back when I was assigned a new Dr I said politely I really need to speak with the one Dr who knows my situation, I don’t know where to start and his response was " I’m willing to get to know " I told him that’s good enough for me and I’m so grateful he really did. He really cares. I’m grateful I walked in to the surgery after my swim at 8am and I have any appointment Wednesday with him. He isn’t in until then.
Grateful to be blessed with good health care and a Dr that did really take the time to understand and also provided great care to me.
Grafeful I do not have to cook tonight.
Grateful to hear the birds and see the different plants in people’s front gardens on my walk.

Today I am grateful for a better night of sleep than that of the last week or so - hopeful for even better sleep tonight. I am grateful I was able to cook a healthy meal last night and have more chicken and salad ready for lunches this week. I am grateful for the experiences I had this weekend at my new part time job. I am grateful for a fresh week to continue to be a better steward of my body, mind, and financial health. I am grateful for the beautiful and vibrant days we have been having and for a stocked fridge and pantry. I am grateful for mornings like these, still quiet as the rest of the house is sleeping, where I can take a moment to appreciate and respect this day and its gifts.
Have a peaceful day!

Great weekend, fishing for the hubby, nature watching for me. We saw a bald eagle and it’s baby in a nest, a musk rat gathering food for it’s baby/babies. Spring is in the air.

My uncle is home and healing.
My kids and grandkids are healthy.

Good morning my beautiful sober friends— happy Monday 
I am greatful for another day sober (it was the constant fear that if i slipped thats more crap my body will have to filter and recover from and im not even close to healing from the life long damage already incurred)
I am greatful that i am healing although slowly and with a few set backs (or gentle reminders that im not 100%)
I am greatful that i was able to go see the butterfly exhibit yesterday. Unfortunately the heat and humidity inside the exhibit caused most of my symptoms to return but i am better equipped at coping with them today
I am greatful for having had a lovely day with my 
I am greatful that my higher power is continually guiding me and helping me stay on track
Have a wonderful day friends - sending much love

I’m grateful my daughter-in-law is so thoughtful. So I’ll start my day with gratitude.
I’m grateful my DIL sent us a safe travels text. My own kids? Crickets 
I’m grateful that’s ok it doesn’t me they aren’t thoughtful. I’m grateful we are a very thoughtful family.
I’m grateful the text from my DIL was on a group thread and my daughter just wished us happy travels.
I’m grateful for all the pics of Norma my DIL sends us on the shared album. I’m grateful for technology of shared photo albums so we can all enjoy baby Norma. I’m grateful for first sippy cup pics.
I’m grateful I have grand babies to love
I’m grateful my son got the VRBO all set up in Malibu and the grand babies will have a meet and greet at the beach for a few days.
I’m grateful for the ability to travel. A lot!
I’m grateful I’m mostly packed. Kitchen is cleaned. Pet food and the huge bag of Minnie meds 
I’m grateful we don’t have to rush around this morning flight isn’t til 6.
I’m grateful Minnie gets to sit out by the pool and I can see her sitting here while I’m grateful.
I’m grateful my wife does my laundry.
I’m grateful she asked me if there’s anything I need washed yesterday. I told her just these socks. They’re new and comfy I’m grateful the clean socks were on my pillow when I went to bed last night
I’m grateful I’m only thinking about the what ifs?………. A little. I’m grateful I can tap into a mantra when I need it.
I’m grateful I was able to wake her up last night and she came to bed.
I’m grateful it’s another beautiful day here in the desert. I hear the British weather is shit. 
I’m grateful I can count on the British weather
I’m grateful for my meeting last night.
I’m grateful Sober London will be another HUGE milestone for me. I’m grateful when I think back 3 years ago before ODAAT I remember thinking “what if I go back to England. How will I stay sober for that?”
I’m grateful that’s when it dawned on me. I’m not drinking today. And I’m probably not drinking tomorrow.” I’m grateful I know exactly where I was that day walking on my trail in Flagstaff. I’m grateful I got 3 years under my belt. I’m grateful I have a healthy sense of I can’t let you guys down. I must stay sober. Don’t be giving me shit how I’d be letting myself down. I know that 
I’m grateful the drive for me to stay sober here with you all is awesomely strong. Wrap it up Eric. You’re waffling now. 
I’m grateful for y’all.
☔ ❤
No matter where we go or what we do, finding the reasons for gratitude each day will add more depth and fulfillment to our lives.
Some fucken travel website.

Good morning. 
I am grateful for the oatbar and coffee I am currently enjoying. I am grateful for skills such as observing without judgement and simply being curious. I am grateful for the change in my perception. It went from “Fuck the world, everyone is FUCKED!” to " look at all the pain in the world I will be as loving and compassionate as I can…" I am grateful that I know I cant change the world, I have already almost killed myself trying. I can however change myself, how I view the world, how I respond to the world and how I show up in the world.
My kiddo is on her last units in her courses, phew am I ever grateful for this. Its always stressful to see where she is at spring break. I am grateful grade 11 wasnt as intense grade 10. I am grateful she is planning her future and schooling after highschool.
I am grateful I am clean.

I am grateful I have mastered the ability to say “no”, if something doesn’t work for me, or if I feel uncomfortable, or if I don’t want to do something. I’m grateful I’ve learned how to express this properly depending on the situation without making excuses or making up excuses to soothe my own emotional discomfort in that moment.
I am grateful for the strong code of ethics I have built in my life over the years, and that when others push against them I know there is no need to be angry, defensive, etc., but that calmly standing my ground is enough. The truth is that no one can force me into or out of anything. I may not be able to control the world around me, but I can control how I perceive these things and how I act or choose not to act. “I must” or “I have to” = “If I do/do not do this thing, the results are more unpleasant to me/others then if I do/do not take that action”
I am grateful for this understanding in my own life because, while while it may put the weight of responsibility on my shoulders, it also means that I am in control of my own life–for better or worse.
With great responsibility comes great power.
This is my grateful thought of the day.

Today I’m grateful that I can be at home as long as it takes to be healthy again. Still coughing, still exhausted. I’m grateful for a long nap mid-morning when it rained. I’m grateful I get tired all of a sudden when the weather changes, it is so much better than the migraine I suffered for decades.
I’m grateful for leftovers for lunch. I’m grateful I decided to cancel all in person appointments this week as I’m still sick. No need to spread the infection. I’m grateful the day went by and I really don’t remember what I did. Must have been a little every day stuff and some reading, minor chores and snuggling up with the cats. I’m grateful life is this simple for me at the moment, I could not bear more.
I’m grateful a friend called today. We had a deep talk about how we sometimes feel lonely and what we miss about our ex-husbands. And what not. How to cope. How to deal with life. I’m crying a lot these days and I really have to be careful to not drift away in fairy tales. Or self pity. It’s a fine line between reality in memories and self-woven fairy tales how things and I/we/him/life were. As time goes by it all becomes kinda blurred, shifted, washed out. That’s how life works for me but I hate it every fucking time. It’s a lousy way to be forced to let go due to how your own chemical storage in your head works. I’m not grateful for it. I can be grateful for the knowledge and experience I have and that I know what awaits me. At least I know about my own bullshit of body and brain.
I’m grateful that I go to bed, I lay down in a cozy, comfy bed, close my eyes and I’m off for hopefully 8+ hours. I’m grateful body & soul are healing while we are sleeping

I am grateful to be sober.
I am grateful I have enough food, water, coffee even, electricity, internet.
I am grateful for a nice colleague who makes work much better here.
I am grateful I got them to call me Franzi as they can pronounce it much better and I prefer it to my full name.
I am grateful for my barefoot shoes. It’s so much better walking in them.
I am grateful I try to accept the things I cannot change. The first impulse is still explosion or run. But won’t drink.

Assume you mean UVM? My son went there, and he made it a point of bringing his guitar out to play in that courtyard. Got some good vibes It was his freshman year, but Redstone campus was it? My son still lives nearby - can’t get him out of VT!
I am grateful both my sons found universities they loved, thrived in, and graduated from, with confidence to live the lives they want.
