Today I’m grateful for taking it easy. Here it’s father’s day today and you can’t escape the topic. My late mum always had roses from the garden in front of his picture (he died 13 years ago) and we shared loving memories. Now I’m alone and it feels so strange that there is no more family left. Exept for the cats. I’m grateful for their cuddles and Missi is playing with a piece of asparagus that must have fallen on the floor when I cooked lunch. I’m grateful they show me the beauty of the moment.
I’m grateful I made a round in the garden in the garden when it stopped raining. I’m grateful I surfed through the internet casing ideas for climbing aids for the plants. I will be looking in my many storages for things to use, I slowly develop concrete ideas. I’m grateful I did a little bit of chores. I’m grateful for interesting documentaries and funny stuff on TV. I’m grateful today is over.

AH man — that does look good - so chocolaty ! Hope you enjoy it after breakfast 
So funny how the power of suggestion works – I’m planning dinner for tomorrow and now Pad Thai is on my list… 
Sorry my suggestion couldn’t have been healthier …

I’m grateful to God, the higher power of my non-understanding. I’m grateful to feel acceptance regarding that first sentence. I’m grateful for my recovery and the support I’m blessed to have from God, family, friends, TS , gratidudes, my sponsor and counsellors. I guess one word, connection could have summed all that up. I am grateful for connection. I’m grateful for sports and that a Candian won the Pga’s Canadian Open golf tournament. I’m grateful my parents, brother-in-law and Sister got to attend it in person for Saturday’s round and I will get to ask about it next time we get together. I’m grateful that I have experienced attending the Canadian Open on a Saturday as well back in the 90’s with my high school golfing buddies, it was really cool. I’m grateful for prayer and mediatation. I’m grateful for the twelve steps and the spiritual principles they instill. I’m grateful I attended Church and two A.A. meetings today. I’m grateful that in between the meetings myself and a fellow recovering alcoholic and addict got some A&W then sat and played a few games of chess and had some laughs. I’m grateful for music, humor and laughter. I’m grateful I worked on step nine, ten and studied for a work assisted vehicle test I get to take tomorrow.
May our higher powers grant us opportunities to be patient.
p.s. Don’t quit before the miracle, you’re worth it. Ya you!!

I’m grateful that I’ve kept the same phone number for 22 years. About 15 years ago I lost touch with a friend I’ve had since elementary school. They took a chance and sent a text. I look forward to catching up more in the future.
Life always has the ability to surprise us.

I’m grateful for summer. That I spent time today in my comfy patio chair, soaking up some heat. Looked like this just three months ago… 
I’m grateful that good fences make good neighbours 
(mr. bear popped by while I was hanging out in my patio chair!) 
I’m grateful for a slow morning, even a little afternoon nap, some puttering at my desk and progress with paperwork, yummy groceries, time in my kitchen. A well-rounded day, all in all. I’m behind AF at work, but just gonna get up early and do one thing at a time.
Kinda like what we do here, one day at a time.
I’m grateful for all of you.
I’m grateful for another day.

I am grateful I had a really good time connecting with my friend from uni this weekend. It made the long travel time of 16 hours to get there entirely worthwhile. Grateful for the guy who had a fan in his backpack and was sitting beside me on the train. Grateful I am slowly feeling more stable again after my close call with temptation last week. Grateful I am sober, moving forward. Grateful for my tomato plant on my balcony. No pressure to actually grow a tomato. I like it no matter what.

Grateful to get some chores done today , would rarely look after household or much of any effort while in drinking mode.
Grateful not to feel guilty or shameful as I turn into bed tonight. Grateful to know I don’t have to be purfect with 175% effort either.
Thx to HP and a useful toolset for stress besides just the hammer!! LOL if all you got is the hammer then that’s what you’ll use! - I was told this 
but if the shoe fits it fits : /

Thank you for hugs @Pandita @M-be-free49 I feel ok again today, just a bit of a bleaky mood that will lift. It is so nice how we support us together here
Morning gratitude. I’m grateful I woke up on time, got up immediately and did the rest of the laundry. I’m grateful for nice workers at the construction site. I’m grateful the sun is out and the clouds lift. The weather was depressing. I’m grateful I come to terms with some issues in my life. At least for now in the morning I’m good with it. I work hard on staying focused on myself and let the things out of my control go. No overthinking, no what-if. I am proud of myself that I start this process every day anew and it works when you work it. Of course not always, progress, not perfection. I’m grateful this is enough for me.
I am hungry, the cats are hungry, it’s time for a late breakfast and a huge pot of the

@chiron How lovely to connect with someone after so long. Its great when we can reach out and make new or recreate old connectios.
@m-be-free49 to live so close to bears (that’s exhilarating and a bit scary)… good thing for those fences! I remember hiking in British Columbia / Alberta area and being told to watch out for bears and at that time I was like OOH – I want to find one and now I don’t think I’m so brave 
@pandita Enjoy your time connecting with your friend. I love that you are starting to feel more stable (so happy that you are experiencing this!)
@erntedank Awe love – am so very happy to read this!!!
I see you working it - you are doing awesome!
WHOA – It’s Monday and grey/gloomy a bit chilly but i’m so flippin grateful to be alive!!!
Happy Monday to all my beautiful sober friends - you are all such amazing souls
I really did not get much sleep last night so may be super slap happy today but that’s ok – My heart feels light and my brain doesn’t feel heavy and I have told all my aches / pains and whatnot’s to just go FUCK OFF! I’m grateful that you can be overjoyed.
I am so grateful that I am about to go do all the deliveries and then have a 5 hour shift at the hospital and then finish up with month end taxes – this will all go smoothly today!
I am so grateful that I told the last of my customers about my business ending today and my website is now down and my cell phone is back to being my personal cell phone (i removed all the individual customer contacts) and replaced my outgoing message
I am so grateful that I am looking into doing a meditative retreat later this summer (as long as I get a bit more energy and pain under control)
I am so grateful that I still have money saved up in my rainy day fund for vacation that I had started to use for everyday use as I didn’t think I’d be able to take one this year
I am so grateful that my coffee is giving me the right amount of comfort this morning
I am so grateful that I finally told my sister about my business and she is over the moon that I am focusing on myself
I am so grateful that my family is so supportive and caring
I am so grateful that I am starting to see things clearly with my dad and possibly starting to understand him a bit better. I do need to be more patient with him (we have very similar personalities and realize that we have both been dealing with chronic pain for so long and we both hide it very well irl)
I am so grateful that I have guidance from my HP through meditation and prayer - I am not alone in this world
I am so grateful that I am finally starting to show myself the self-respect and love I deserve. I am so grateful that I am learning how to speak up for myself and my needs and accepting that I do matter.
I am so grateful that all of these lessons are coming with gentle pushes in the right direction (i am not jumping off of a cliff into my new self)
I am so grateful that you are all here with me on this beautiful journey of self discovery and healing…I am so grateful for this community and the TS Site
Have the best Monday you possibly could have - Sending much love

Got to dig deep for gratitude this morning. Woke with a horrible headache and back pain.
So I’m grateful for medicine and coffee.
Grateful I’m still sober.
Grateful I work from home so I don’t have to put on a smile and pretend to be okay.
Grateful for my work best friend sharing memes.
I’m grateful we didn’t lose power with last nights storms.
I’m grateful for the roof over my head and food in my belly. I have enough.
I’m grateful I’m learning to let go of anger. I can’t control the decisions of others.
Progress not perfection.
I am enough.

@JazzyS I hear and feel you You brought back lovely memories when I left a job and focused on myself 16 years ago. Best decision of my life and I’m still grateful for it every single day! Thank you for sharing your journey 
Today I’m overflowing with gratitude. Might be TMI, I want to share what my day was.
- Waking up on time
- Doing laundry, vacuuming, cleaning the master bathroom
- Enjoying the finishing of the construction site next to me and having a nice chat with the workers, telling them they do an awsome job and I’m happy with it (lots of critics around and I am deeply grateful how good it went - this has to be said too!)
- My cats waiting until I was finished with above chores and playing around meanwhile
- I resisted the impuls to check if my ex is still on the farm
- Instead I went to buy soil I need for setting up a new high raised bed and some re-potting (plants grew big with the rain)
- Having a good amount of excercise as 12 bags of soil = 1 full car are heavy
- Did 10 min. of necessary garden work to prepare for tomorrow
- Spending a wonderful, interesting afternoon with a friend on a crime walk guided tour downtown (crime festival this week)
- Having a delicious dinner afterwards and chatting for hours. She is in poor health and this afternoon was a very special one for both of us
- Going by public transport. Definitely out of my comfort zone. Happy it was ok and I had no anxiety or felt uncomfortable
- I managed to squeeze in the signing of a contract downtown One way, one for pleasure, one for business
- I submitted long due paperwork to my counsellor
- The professionalls called me, mowing is scheduled for Wednesday
- I’m sitting in my garden, hear the frogs, it’s silent, what a grace
- Again I realize that I take good care of myself allthough it’s work, sometimes unpleasant work where I lack motivation. I’m grateful I changed the concept and just DO and BE. Motivation is overrated. Doing is the heart to make results living in life ( ugh, very german english)
I’m grateful to check in here on my home thread. Sharing gratitude written down is an anchor that has even more weight when shared. I’m grateful for all the gratitude
Edit to add: I’m giggling as a hedgehog is sniffing loudly in my garden 
I love those noisy fuckers!

So thrilled to hear that you were able to leave a job 16years ago and focus on yourself! I do love seeing that change is possible and we are not stuck with our first choices (whether it be career or love or…)
OOOH – this sounds super exciting!! I wish we had something like that here — I will have to do some google searches to see if we do.
LOL — sound of hedgehog sniffing loudly – I’m laughing so hard (never heard this noise but googled the sound (damn they are loud) noisy hedgehogs sniffing

the tour was soooooo interesting, even more at it is my hometown. I loved it and have a head full of new information 
yes, those fuckers even wake me up in the middle of the night when the window is open allthough I take sleep meds! once two where on their way behind my glasshouse in different directions and there was no passing space side by side. They discussed the whole thing for a whole fucking hour! And boy, this is a lot louder than sniffing 
The video noise is fully authentic
