Late night gratitude 
I am gratefull for the struggles of the past few weeks smoothing out slowly.
Gratefull I can see the bigger picture of things falling into place for the better, although to get there things will be turnt upside down. Gratefull that the works needed in the home are going to be started and my family and pets will not seperated. Iām gratefull so gratefull we can stay together. Gratefull for all the tears Iv cried worrying. Gratefull to know I feel worry because I care so much.
Wonāt make this too long but I am grateful for so much in life.
Grateful for the support and being told I can get through this, this gives me hope. Thank you. I did it. I solved the problem by myself. I no longer feel lousy. I am capable. We all are capable to get through tough times. Its okay to lean on each other, grateful I am apart of our TS family 
Goodnight

Gah. I was already in a grieve-y place ā the near brush with the dog girl, followed by Momās decline.
A dear friend is in hospice, and past the point of being able to have conversations.
Iām grateful to have met him, on a work project, over a decade ago. He was my client contact. Older, divorced, sober for decades, a wicked sense of humour, and pretty much at peace with himself and the world around him. He talked about his ex-wife so highly, they were friends. He was at ease around wine and drinks at work dinners ā he just declined them. He and I were on a call one day, and he asked if everything was okay with me. I went from being professional(ish) to a six-year old who fell off her bike. āIām getting a divorce! WAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!ā. He responded with āoh, my young friend,ā¦ā and from there a beautiful friendship began.
Iām grateful I followed his lead, and am grateful that my ex-husband and I too have a solid relationship. This isnāt always possible.
Iām grateful Iāll follow his lead again. Pass me your baton of 30+ years of sobriety, my old friend, and Iāll run with it from here. One step at a time.
Iām grateful I saw him in person for the first time in years last summer when I was on vacation. He made me a strong coffee and he cracked a near beer for himself, we toasted friendship that outlasts distance and pandemics, and sat on his deck and had a grand catch-up. Picked berries. Did some sight-seeing in his beautiful town.
Iām grateful his adult kids are looking after things and sending updates. Iām grateful when I wake up tomorrow morning, and my counter reads 365 days, I know heād be proud if I could tell him. So would my folks if I could tell them.
Iām grateful grief is soooo much cleaner, so pure, when it just gets a voice. Gets to be heard. Isnāt clouded by numbing and the shame from numbing.
Some days are harder than others, no matter what # of days it is.
Iām grateful for another day.

I am grateful for the freedom to choose what to do with my time from day to day. I started missing the sea, now that summer is here and I am grateful I can just hop on a train and go this weekend. I am grateful for these short vacations to fill up on happiness.
I am also grateful for a solid friendship with my ex-boyfriends @M-be-free49. I wouldnāt know what to do with the love I still feel for this human, if it hadnāt turned out this way. I am sorry you are going through a rough patch right now. It always seems like tricky moments cluster up and all come together, donāt they? Itās a great virtue to be able to accept them, when they come and stay present. Sending you hugs
I am grateful for easy laughter, the smell of lavender and rosemary and the gentle summer breeze in the linden trees in front of my house. I am grateful for ice cream and my washing machine, since I donāt seem to be able to consume it like a proper grown up 
I am grateful for the four seasons and the fun they provide.

Iām grateful to God and ask for his help to guide me clean and sober through today. Iām grateful for my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes.
Iām grateful to read that our friend @M-be-free49 will be a whole year sober today, way to go. Keep moving forward. This made my morning. Iām sorry about your friend, Mom and dog. We are here for you as you are for us. Sending strength. Still adorable.
Iām grateful for music, my job, my recovery community, my bicycle, humor and laughter.
Iām grateful for this 
May our higher powers help us stay positive and present.
p.s. Donāt forget to smile and breathe, it feels good and looks great on you. Ya you!!

I loved reading this and what an awesome place to be where you can feel all of this! Congrats on being so awesome on your journey ā keep up the amazing work. 
@dazercat the funny thing is that I had a feeling you would find a gif like this as I was posting ā thank you for not disappointing. 
@i.cant.we.can A huge congrats on your 5-month milestone! Way to keep kicking addictions ass. 
HAPPY SOBER FRIDAY my lovely friends ā¦
I am so grateful for another day of being alive (I woke up before the alarm I had set so that feels good) ā I am grateful for waking up somewhat fresh. Grateful for not being in excessive pain. I am grateful for being able to take my deep breathes!
I am so grateful for finally feeling well enough to go get my blood work done ā hoping to get all results in next week so that on 7/18 I can have a proper conversation with doctor and specialist.
I am so grateful that I was able to complete monthly and quarterly accounting tasks yesterday while watching Mum (interesting show ā I would consider backwards humor but it works).
I am so grateful for my mom and all that she does for me. Iāll never know what it feels like to be a mother but i do feel like she goes above and beyond - so much love for this woman.
I am so grateful that I donāt feel left out today as my siblings will be heading to Chicago with my cousins for the weekend. I know I would not be able to do the journey just yet and on top of that I wouldnāt be able to eat anything while out ā so I will have the house to myself and will make the most of it!
I am so grateful to hear from a friend that i thought was possibly ignoring me but turns out he was giving me space to heal. We have been friends for many years and were toying with the idea of possibly more then i got sick ā¦ well, at least we are still friends and that is most important. grateful for freindships!
I am so grateful for how simple life can be when you let go of all that is holding you back. I am so grateful for having the time to work on myself (emotionally, mentally and of course physically).
I am so grateful for my meditation and prayer and my higher power - all of which help me become a better more patient me and keep me on the path of recovery
I am so grateful for summer - all the fresh fruits (just thinking about them makes my mouth water)
I am so grateful for all of you wonderful souls on this journey with me.
Sending much loveā¦

Good morning my good friends! Iām grateful for all the wee beasties here and gone. Iām grateful Minnie got to live a good life full of love and fun, that she was well-cared for and and happy, and Iām grateful @Dazercat had such a good girl to bring him joy and love and comfort. These creatures burrow straight into our hearts and the little den they make there feels huge and empty when theyāre gone. Iāll give my buddies and extra snuggle and treat tonight and remember how lucky and grateful I am for the time we have together.
For me, thereās been so much stuff going on itās beginning to feel like instead of treading water (or doing a graceful measured breaststroke, which in this metaphor would be even better) Iām doing that thing where you think youāre drowning, but the waterās actually shallow if you just calm down and get your feet under you. Thereās still a lot going on but Iām going to try to be more mindful this weekend, get my feet back under me, and plot a course back to dry land. Also Iām doing the 15K tough mudder tomorrow so Iāll need yāall to pray for me. Iām grateful for the self-awareness Iāve cultivated, so I can tell when need to settle down and find my drishti.

Iām struggling to feel grateful today. I slept poorly and had really disturbing dreams. Now a bad combination of depressed and anxious. And switched completely to decaf because of the anxiety.
At least Iām sober and not hungover.
Itās Friday and I can stop trying to be productive soon.
My cats are adorable and seem to like me.
Iām grateful for all your support.

Thank you so much Jenny.
Give that puppy an extra shoe to chew on too.
Or better yet, lots of chew toys.
Iām grateful for the slogans in recovery.
Hereās one that help me that I have never used much.
The dog shit was literally hitting the fan at 2 am. Wife passed out. I was already in bed. Mind racing. Angry, resentful, hate, nothing good happening in my mind.
Then I remembered āFirst Things First.ā
By then it was 3 am and first thing first was so simple. I need to get back to sleep. I put on a sleep meditation, did some deep breathing and most importantly took care of myself. Because I know I wouldnāt have been good to anyone or dog if I didnāt get some sleep.
Prayers for your 15 K tough mudder.
Now excuse me while I go visit Google so I know what Iām praying for.

Oh Emm @M-be-free49 Thereās a lot on your plate. Iām feeling with you and sending you hugs 
Congratulations on milestones and keeping your heads above water dear fellow gratitudes
Today Iām again grateful the day is over. Iām grateful Iām calm and at peace right now. It was a rough day.
One year ago I moved back into my own house and my ex stayed at the farm. Iām grateful how far Iāve come in this year. I slept enough to find energy and strength again. I took good care of me and now Iām in ok shape to manage life on life terms without getting overwhelmed by a broken pencil. Iām so grateful my mum passed peacefully and we were close. Iām grateful I gave myself the gift of a year of mourning according to what my therapists worked through with me. Iām grateful I grieve deeply and take my time. Iām grateful for the divorce, it helped me to detach and work on my codependency. Iām grateful things fall into place slowly, Iām a person who needs a lot of time to process changes. Slowly and steadily Iāve been building a new life, work still in progress. Iām grateful our late friend shared lovely memories with me on his vaccation and wedding. Again Iām grieving. Iām still grieving our marriage. Iām grateful I was not able to bear the situation one more day. Love doesnāt always turn out well. Iām grateful tomorrow another milestone in settlement takes place. My ex will fetch his puzzles and other belongings from my house where we lived together for 12 years. The last chapter at this place. Iām grateful it makes me sad to cut this bond. Iām also grateful that his physical presence in my house will end tomorrow. Iām sad that it causes him stress. Iām sad he obviously thought he could use my house as storage forever. Isnāt the meaning of divorce that you separate your lifes? And take back responsibilities from mutual to individual?
Iām grateful my stomach bug is over. Woke up with bathroom issues and spent the morning with tea, hot water bottle and herbal drops in bed. Iām grateful my lawyer was understanding and we rescheduled our meeting to next week the day before the court appointment.
Iām grateful for my lovely cats accompaning me during my suffering. Iām grateful I can take good care of myself in a well stuffed household
Iām grateful I made amends to a friend. I was nasty yesterday, as always when Iām about to get sick. Iām grateful the universe changed my plans for today. I learned a lot. Mostly I learned to let go of my own expectations what I have to do and accomplish. Iām grateful for this lesson.
Iām grateful I helped a friend with some expertise. Iām grateful she will come over tomorrow so Iām not alone when my ex is here.
Iām grateful I took out the trash. I will be content tomorrow.
Iām grateful I can come here and share. Now Iām grateful for the day as it was
