@i.can’t.we.can So beautiful and precious indeed!!
So powerful – I may use this one myself. Yeah to your 1’s!!! It is a struggle some days but I’m so glad to see that you are determined to be sober and working your ass of to stay that way! That’s huge!!!
Happy SOBER Sunday my sober friends
I am so grateful that I was able to get all my prep done last night so that I had time to jump on TS this morning before heading out. I was actually dreading not being able to check in on my two favorite threads (the anxiety of not having done so may have been too much – glad I don’t have to know what that would’ve been like).
I am so grateful that it’s a beautiful day today and the location is under a large tented area so that we don’t have to bring our own (those are a bitch to set up for me these days)
I am so grateful that I have my hot cup of coffee
I am so grateful that I will be driving alone there and back as we have so much stuff and this will give me time to center myself – do my wake meditations / prayers
I am so grateful that my parents are early risers as they have been up since 4 getting the food ready for us today. Grateful that they will get to go home and sleep in a few hours and rest for the remainder of the day
I am so grateful that my pain is manageable today and I am doing what I can not to think about it
I am so grateful for my mouthguard – the bit of sleep I did manage was a bit tense so I’m glad that I didn’t’ grind my teeth away
I am so grateful for my higher power – will be leaning a bit more on “HIM” today as I’m sure I’ll really have to focus on not focusing on my pain (smiling at strangers for hours on end can also be totally exhausting – I do hope that I keep my sarcasm to myself when faced with a rude customer)
I am so grateful for all of you and this TS site!!! You guys are awesome sauce
Have a wonderful Sunday everyone – sending much love

I’m grateful to see how fast I can do this gratitude business. Probably not very fast.
I’m grateful my alarm went off at 4:40 this morning. 
Louie, Louie, me gotta go
Louie, Louie, me gotta go 
Some of you will get it 
grateful I used my phone last night to set alarm since I can’t figure out why iPad alarm isn’t working.
Grateful we got the dogs walked and it’s not even 7. Grateful I’ll wrap this up at 7 to get me and The Burner out for another one.
I’m grateful my finger is going to be ok after Alice bit me at the “Cat Friendly Gold Vet.” 
yesterday. I’m grateful I know I was a doofus when I offered up my hand for her to chomp on after hearing her screaming like a banshee in the exam room down the hall. I just never thought she’d bite me. C&@T 
ya she is! I’m grateful I won’t use that word because I’ll get flagged. But I said it! And she is. I’m grateful we made up last night in bed 
I’m grateful I found an online meeting last night at 7:45. It was about the 5 G’s.
Get off their back. 
Get out of their way.
Get on with your life. (I am trying to figure that one out 
)
Go to a meeting.
Give them to God.
I’m grateful 4 out of 5 isn’t bad.
I’m grateful for the great pic of baby gamble quails and momma I got yesterday at the pool.
I’m grateful I got Minnie an elevated food bowl stand I think it is helping. I’m grateful Fatso can’t reach it 
I’m grateful I’m learning I don’t have to be around someone who is drinking all day. I’m grateful I don’t have to talk about it. I just have to Get out of the way! Get on with my life. I’m grateful presently getting on with my life could be very exciting. It was yesterday afternoon. Even though I spent most of the time shopping and doing errands. Got myself some cool stuff at Sweet Basils. A foodies store near me. Did I need it? No! Didn’t it make me feel good. You better believe it! I’m grateful I love my new southwestern colorful wooden cooking utensils. And they are heavy and not cheap ones.
I’m grateful I created and cooked my salmon fish tacos for dinner last night. And grateful I made them for me. Without considering if anyone else would like them.
Grateful it’s 7:01 and I gotta go.
Grateful for spell check time.
Grateful y’all are still here.
Each. And. Every. One. Of. You.
I’m grateful it’s so amazing when the meetings and the readings and the slogans and the stories are EXACTLY what you needed.
7:08. Not bad

Grateful @Dazercat is healing, and learning to get out of the way of humans and cats alike…
Grateful I’m getting better at gratitude, maybe it’s like a muscle it gets stronger over time.
Grateful for gummy baby smiles with wee little teeth. Hope Em doesn’t mind I stole her word.
Grateful that although baby wouldn’t sleep from 1am-3am I got to be present and rock her in the same rocking chair my mom rocked me…
and then we went from bed to crib and bed to crib on and on until finally I got her out of the crib and she collapsed her head on my shoulder and I couldn’t help but laugh and you know what, she started laughing too. It was so cute. And I’m grateful I’m present for all of this. 
Grateful I got out of the house yesterday…
Grateful we looked at a house to buy that was a dream, they say don’t fall in love but I did.
Grateful fiance is coming around about it after much much much negotiating but he’s worried the market is crashing but you know… when you love something you don’t care if it crashes lol
Humans and houses alike.
Have a beautiful day all

Today I’m grateful for a overall good day with tired emotional spots in the evening.
I’m grateful for reading a lot today, for watching a funny film, for cuddling with cats, for cooking a healthy meal.
I’m grateful I proceeded with my garden work at home and hope the slugs stay off the herbs I planted. I’m grateful a friend didn’t call me wether she comes over for lunch or not. I was over-worried because she didn’t call and didn’t answer the phone. I had to meditate and talk myself out of this emergency mode. I’m grateful I notice more deeply engraved patterns from my ex and unstable, insecure relationships in my past. Feels like next week I want to have my focus on reparenting and giving myself credit for doing my best in adulting.
I’m grateful I decided to call tomorrow and tell the professionals to mow at my mum’s house. It’s too much for me alone and I don’t want to worry about physical exhaustion, I’m still working on regaining my health after the bronchitis and the antibiotics. I’m grateful it got a lot better but I’m not fully restored and the allergy is massive atm. So better take it easy and ask for help instead of overdoing it.
I’m chewing on some personal questions and how to deal with myself, upcoming dates, mixed emotions, dealing with inner bitching vs letting go and finding peace. Deep hurts don’t leave without resentment when I kindly ask them to get lost. This fuckers return through the back door. Over and over again. Makes me tired. I’m grateful for my cozy bed where I snuggle up with the cats and hit the pillow sober. Good night.

Grateful to be putting my head on my pillow shortly. I’m ready for bed, I’m tired.
Grateful for buying lots of healthy low carb food this morning. I had a little walk around a town I don’t know too well and found a eating place I like the look of.
I’m grateful for exploring and going new places.

Good morning friends,
I’ve missed a couple days of gratitude because the depression is bad. So is the pain. But that probably means gratitude is extra important.
I’m grateful for another day sober.
I’m grateful for my snuggly cats.
I’m grateful for a possible job opportunity up near my mom even though the idea of moving scares the shit out of me. Mom is excited that I might be moving up there. I constantly doubt myself and my abilities and settle for less.
Im grateful I have been able to overcome a lot in my life. Im strong and capable even when I feel like giving up.
Im grateful to recognize that sobriety is a great first step at getting out of survival mode. I need patience. And therapy.
Im grateful to recognize that I need to cultivate connection with people and stop isolating myself so much. That’s just so difficult for me.
Progress not perfection

Grateful to read this today! I’m grateful to be up way to early because I forgot I go in to work late today, grateful that means more time for coffee and porch swinging. I’m grateful that I reached 1,000 days today, and I’m even more grateful that my brain didn’t register that as a milestone, so I didn’t have the usual milestone malady (is that the word?). I’m grateful I took some time this weekend to get ready for this week, some meals prepped, huge pitcher of iced coffee made, already mentally accepting that I will have little free time during the week, but I’ll do what I want on the weekend. I’m grateful for my homethread, reading around here feels like curling up in a cozy blanket. Im grateful for love and forgiveness and for hope.

Good morning 
I’m grateful for poems that come at just the right time
I’m grateful for zig zags in healing because they show me how far I’ve come.
I’m grateful that not putting my worth or value in another is something I’ve been working on for about a year.
I’m grateful that relationships expose where we still need healing.
I’m grateful for my humanity. I’m grateful I can see the humanity in others.
I’m grateful I’m learning to create space for me, too.
I’m grateful that sometimes life means having the courage to stand alone.
I’m grateful that love is always the answer.
I’m grateful that I hold on to the negative less and look for the bright.
I’m grateful my mom is getting treatment for her heart condition. The thought of loosing a parent never entered my world until the past month. It’s lonely and jarring in a way that I had never felt before.
I’m grateful for my sobriety. That being sober has allowed me to heal in ways some people will never know. Life feels much less scary when you are awake to it.
I’m grateful for the birdies chipping by the pool and the sunlight.
I’m grateful that struggling with my ED is part of life and I will be gentle with myself.
I’m grateful for friends who stick with you through the waves of life.
I’m grateful for my one, precious life

@Ely83 haven’t heard from you in a while – how is your son doing? Hopefully the home is completed and your son is home with you
@pdebs ooh I love the feeling of finding your dream house. I had looked at a condo years back that I fell in love with and at the time I could not buy it without selling my house which did not happen and now it is off the market…Now I am in a position to purchase it (even though it will be more expensive than the last time it was available) and secretly waiting for it to come back on the market – when your heart falls for something it just knows 
@erntedank I do hope that you were able to get some rest after tackling all those personal questions – tiring indeed! 
@Soberbilly what a great get away you are having – love the pics of the grandkids! They are causing you to age backwards
@Karenkw I do know how difficult it is to stop isolating but I do think the effort will be worth it – it may do wonders for your depression. Don’t just give your time and energy to anyone (ie. Not negative people or fake people…) Start slow … Give yourself credit for all that you have accomplished thus far in life – lawyer, baker and (sorry – don’t know what you do now)… making this change will be just like the others (may be rough but so doable). You are stronger than you think!
@sunflower1 Congrats on your 1000 days!!! 
@CJP congrats on your 400 days!!!
HAPPY MONDAY MORNING MY SOBER FRIENDS!!!
I am so grateful for having gotten past this weekend and survived. I was silently dreading it and my ability to keep up. The pride fest was so chill and full of love. The vegfest was great too but omg felt like many took extra stupid pills and anger pills - I did not lash out - I did not talk back - i remained calm and handled it and then took a minute to fill items to regain my composure.
I am so grateful that my whole body is screaming at me in pain but I am just not in the mood for this today so screaming right back (my throat is sore but this is so worth it)
I am so grateful that I found out that I’ve decided to hire out someone to take care of a dead tree at my house (the renters did not water anything this past year and my beautiful dappled willow that grew way larger than they are meant to is now completely dead) 
I am so grateful that seeing the dead tree and the shitty upkeep of the yard did not frustrate or anger me
I am so grateful that I will have time today / tomorrow to get this house cleaned up (feel like I have let things go in the past few days)
I am so grateful that I will hopefully get 2 new tires for my car (the front tires have 0 thread on them) - been meaning to do this for some time but keep having something else come up. Glad nothing popped while driving this weekend
I am so grateful that I have my loving and supportive family with me in this life!
I am so grateful for my ability to meditate / pray and call on my higher power at a moments notice.
I am so grateful for all the love i’ve received from all of you!!! unbelievable!!! YOU all ROCK and I LOVE YOU ALL. I am so grateful for having you in my life and on this journey with me.
Hey - have an amazing Monday (start this week off right) – sending much love
