I’m grateful for this day I’ve had.
I’m grateful I woke too early, to the sound of rain. It’s been too too dry here, with wildfires near here still. Today it rained heavily. Two big thunderstorms! It was quite magnificent. I’m grateful the grown up dog girl still likes a cuddle during a thunderstorm.
I’m grateful for good moods. I’m grateful not-so-good moods pass. I’m grateful I’m always more than either of them. I’m grateful I don’t drink to try to celebrate the good or silence the bad.
I’m grateful for my wee (you can use that word anytime you want, Clarity!) garden. That the seeds I planted are young shoots, that my tomato seedlings are thriving.
I’m grateful for gentle sunday night tunes. Sleep soon. Contentment.
That I have everything I need in this moment.
I’m grateful for another day. 
I’m grateful for @Clarity’s posts here - yes, when you love something, you love it through its crashes, be it a house or a person or pretty much anything, hey? beautifully put.
Grateful for @Pandita. Onward, friend. We can do this. I believe in you.
Grateful @Soberbilly got to see his grandkiddos. His smile says it all.
@Dazercat? We probably all need a gentle nudge to get on with our own lives. Grateful for you.

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

You have more in you than you realize. When I read you hurting on different levels I just wish I could sit next to you and hold your hand. Give you a fatherly 
hug. Some days you eat the bear,some days the bear eats you!
Happiness runs in a circular motion
Thought is like a little boat upon the sea
Everybody is a part of everything anyway
You can have everything if you let yourself be

I’m grateful to God for helping me get some rest last night. I’m grateful to pray for help, guidance and that my defects to be removed. I’m grateful to God and ask that I may abstain from my addictions, just for today. I’m grateful for all my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful for knowing that whatever the day brings I can handle it. Im grateful for spiritual principles.
God bless us all.

p.s. You are awesome, never forget. Ya you!!

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
@clarity 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

I’m grateful for happy accidents.
Like the other day when I intended to buy parmesan cheese, and inadvertently purchased a parmesan/romano blend. Didn’t know that was out there. Yes please.
What a time to be alive
I am also grateful for 10 years at my current company as of this past weekend, and 11 years of stable, full-time employment.
Lastly, I am grateful for my beloved Frasier.

Grateful for my boyfriend. And his dog! She’s so adorable! I think she likes me because she long time looked at me with that interesting face. 
Grateful for rain today. It’s not rainstorm, but just quiet and relaxing rain. When I was cuddling with my boyfriend, I heard his heart and as well this beautiful sound of rain. It was… Adorable.
Grateful for my friend from school! Also for my creativity. Art classes became again fun!
Grateful for you all.

Today I’m grateful the day was ok. I don’t know how it happened, I was awake on time, read, cuddled cats and crawled out of bed at half past nine. Needless to say the plan for the day was screwed. I’m grateful I don’t give a shit. I’m grateful I happily did chores and cooking, had leftovers for lunch and did some dusting. I’m grateful a friend came over spontaneously, it was nice to chat in person with 3 sleeping cats around us.
I’m grateful I did not give in to my brain and heart asking the same questions over and over. My belly told me to rest and meditate. It helped.
I’m grateful for laughter and satire. We are a small country with glorious douchebags who entertain the public at taxpayers costs. Hillarious!
I’m grateful the professionals will mow my mum’s garden when it stopped raining (fuck rain, first no rain for months and now … I’m grumpy and have to work on this issue with having no control … ).
I’m grateful for a nap in the afternoon. I’m grateful for my cozy bed, I’m such a cuddle up and sleep person. I’m grateful I set an alarm for tomorrow.
Happy round numbers @Sunflower1 and @Cjp
Love your post @JazzyS
I’m grateful we are here together.

I am grateful I am slowly back in calm waters and can pick up, where I trailed off a few days ago. I am grateful for the collective and individual wisdom of this place, some uncomfortable insight and most of all some encouraging and gentle words, when I needed to hear them. I am grateful for the opportunity to learn and heal some more. I am grateful I know I will be okay.
