Happy Birthday @Cjp :birthday::four_leaf_clover:

Today I’m grateful for a beautiful autumn day. I’m grateful I enjoyed it. I’m grateful I even enjoyed doing chores in the cool morning breeze that aired the house. I’m grateful for nice neighbourhood talks. I’m grateful for my cats. I’m grateful I take it easy before I get overwhelmed. I’m grateful for a yummi, healthy meal I cooked. I’m grateful I napped. I’m grateful the weird dreams where not followed by emotional hamsterwheel today. I’m grateful I decided to postpone some work I thought about doing today. I’m grateful I’m not run out of energy, only tired from the day and that’s ok. ODAAT

Today I am grateful that I am on day 40 and that I get a three day weekend. I am also grateful for getting stuck in my car yesterday because it was raining so hard that I knew I would instantly get soaked. So I just sat in my car and watched and listened to the rain it was pretty cool.

@Cjp Happy Birthday.

I’m grateful to God for lovingly guiding me through today while helping me abstain from my addictions. I’m grateful for my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful that I have been reading on here everyday to stay connected. I’m grateful I can accept that my posts take me a long time to draft and after reading all yours I sometimes don’t have the energy to write. I’m grateful I pray, meditate, read a bunch of recovery literature and attend a meeting, pretty much daily.

God bless us all. :v: & :heart:

p.s. You’re amazing. Ya you!!

Mid morning gratitude.

Thank you so much @Soberbilly Your posts are helpful and encouraging for me :pray: I’m always doing better after a meditation, may it be only a short breathing meditation, as I feel the feelings flow then. What exhausts me is that these mixed feelings tend to check in at the hamsterwheel in my heart and brain so I literally have to dig them out to pass. I feel the tension in my body coming along with strong feelings so I work on staying in moderate moods. It is already way better than a year ago, still a lot of work and a long way to go until I’ll feel comfortable within myself again. I love the buddhist wisdom you share , thank you :pray:

@Cjp I’m in Austria, we are lucky and happy that autumn arrived here after the last heatwave :pray:

I’m grateful the first mowing in autumn was done this week. I’m grateful the professionals I hired are reliable and affordable. Now the gardens look neat again. Still waiting on the farm for cutting of the grassland, I have to urge it next week.

I’m grateful I fell asleep again after an early, wonderful shower. Fresh linen and cuddly cats are a perfect spot to be when it’s still dark outside. I’m not grateful for the horrible nightmare I had. I woke up totally shattered, crying, panicing. Missi and the old boy were sleeping peacefully on me. I’m grateful for the calm and peace my cats bring to my soul.

I’m grateful I distracted myself in bed and most of the nightmarish feeling is gone after 1,5 hours. I’m grateful I feel able to get up now, still emotionally exhausted :pray:

I’m grateful I can take it easy today when I feel like it. I’m grateful I am kind to myself, I feel vulnerable and insecure. I hope this is not some sort of self-sabotage my mind is tricking me in because I want to spend the beautiful fall weeks on the farm. I’m grateful for awareness and mindfulness :pray::sunflower:

Today I’m grateful:

  1. I slept well last night and am awake bright and early, sipping coffee in bed and catching up here.
  2. This space, I love reading the encouragement of others and I appreciate it when I receive it.
  3. Day 13 today, I’m so excited about that!
  4. My knee is improving so back to running.
  5. My health and safety.
  6. My animal friends.
  7. TLC meetings, that community is working for me big time.
  8. My sober friends who I can reach out to, especially the one who likes to talk on the phone :grin:, I’m hoping she’ll have time today.
  9. My wife, our relationship is on shifting ground these days but I am grateful for her.
  10. Mother Nature, I am so at peace when I simply sit outside and meditate, or watch and listen to wildlife.

I’m grateful to be apart of this awesome community.

I’m grateful the doctor ordered a chest xray for my daughter. I’m grateful the radiology center accepted walk ins and immediately sent the results back to the dr. She has pneumonia and I’m grateful she’s on the right medication to kick this out of her. I’m grateful it’s only bacterial and can be treated at home. I’m grateful the doctor ordered blood work to make sure there’s nothing more happening.

I’m grateful we had 30+ ladies show at the meeting last night. I’m grateful I decided to take over the 3 month leader commitment at that meeting. I’m grateful service helps keep me sober. I’m grateful for the nice dinner out with the ladies from that meeting.

I’m grateful Eric’s wife is giving dry September a go. I’m grateful he can live by example and leave tools around the house.

I’m grateful for the day off from work. I’m grateful hubby and I are going to the diner for a late breakfast. I’m not a breakfast person but I’m grateful for the time we can spend together while our daughter sleeps in and gets the rest she needs to heal.

I’m grateful we’re all sitting outside on the deck before it gets too hot.
I’m grateful my headache is gone.
I’m grateful for Tylonol and coffee. Not necessarily in that order. :kissing_heart:
I’m grateful I know once I get moving or walking Benson in the morning I will feel better. I’m grateful I was doing the Green Tara Mantra without even thinking about it.

I’m grateful Billy suggested the Free Yourself From Blame And Resentment course on Insight timer. I’m grateful I’m still on day 1.
I’m grateful I applied some of it already this morning on my walk. I’m grateful I said good morning to a neighbor I despise. I’m grateful I don’t want to be in that prison of hate anymore. I’m grateful it feels freeing and much easier to say good morning than put my head down like in The Handmaids Tale and try to ignore the shit out of them. I’m grateful it makes me think of my niece when she said, uncle, “I just ran out of hate.” Pertaining to the way her mother and father totally abandoned her as a child.

I’m grateful we had a nice lunch out yesterday at one of our favorite restaurants.
I’m grateful the dinner recipe I found on line, that I cooked, came out pretty pretty good.

I’m grateful I dropped off some gently used pet supplies and food and snacks and beds, at this ladies animal rescue at her home in the middle of nowhere Arizona. I’m grateful she was so happy to tell me how they can use this, how they can use that……etc……. I’m grateful for all the mountains and endless clouds I saw on my way to find her. I’m grateful I didn’t get lost. That she insisted I follow her directions not my gps.

I’m grateful it’s a beautiful morning to spend on my deck.
I’m grateful we saw Bailey again on our walk.
I’m grateful my son texted me so excited about Colorado beating TCU yesterday and he thinks he’s got a team he likes to get into the college football scene. I’m grateful I’ll check out his team and stick with my Nittany Lions.

I’m grateful I can here the birdsong.
I’m grateful to feel rested and recovered from a grueling 2 or 3 weeks with my move and all.
Grateful for my health.
Grateful for my fruit.
Grateful for you :hugs:
