Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery #4

Ooh love - it does seem like a long process. I see you getting stronger with each day. As some heal once the situation is completely over - you are slowly purging and healing in the process.

I can’t even imagine the process that you are going through. At least his stuff is out of your immediate living quarters. Of course, I’m here for you and with you along with the rest of our Sobriety Gang.

Take today easy and wishing you the best in dealing with tomorrow! Much love my friend :heart: :heart:

Oh another beautiful day to be alive!!! Happy Sunday my lovely sober friends

I am so grateful that I got some decent sleep again last night (got into bed at 10 but fell asleep around 10:45 - baby steps – still i didnt get up till 7 with only a few interruptions in the night). That’s a lot of sleep - i feel awake enough but a bit wobbly. Hopefully my hot cup of coffee will help.
I am so grateful for my lovely parents and my beautiful siblings. They are so caring and just go out of their way to help me feel like i’m not missing out. I am truly blessed
I am so grateful that Eric posted about coffee brands yesterday and it reminded me that i am out of my coffee for today’s weekly coffee grind (i grind one week’s worth of beans on Sunday and keep in a seal lock container so that i don’t disturb my brother daily). Will be making special trip to the store :slight_smile:
I am so grateful that today is Sunday and besides cleaning the house i really don’t have much planned. Will try to stay active again with no naps.
I am so grateful that my brother is returning home today. My cousins only have a few days left for their visit - i am hoping to have them over for a movie night (they really want to veg and do a family movie night). Getting the place cleaned up so that we can do this tomorrow or possibly Wednesday. Grateful that i did get to see them while they were here.
I am so grateful for my meditation/ prayer practices - my mother told me yesterday that i am fizzling out with this as my energy (aura) is changing - doesn’t sound like a good thing (will investigate and work on it). This practice is what’s gotten me this far and what will carry me to the end.
I am so grateful for my higher power and His guidance
I am so grateful for TS site and the beautiful souls i’ve met in this community. Can’t even describe how much i’ve gained from all of you. Thank you for being so unadulterated so open raw with your emotions/ feelings. I am so grateful for being a part of this journey with you all.
I am so grateful that i finished my 1st cup of coffee while writing the gratitude’s and am able to have another.
Much love and a very happy Sunday :heart: :heart:

Good morning. :sparkles:

I am grateful to have experienced my second infinity meeting this year. I am grateful that NA works if you work it. Last night I stood at a podium infront of a room full of addicts and all I could do was cry. I am grateful that crying is sharing too, and that sometimes no words are more powerful. I am grateful for the beautiful day we had and for all of the people who showed up to celebrate S’s life, he definitely lived the shit out of it. I am grateful for the convoy of bikes that toured the island in his memory.

Im grateful for another beautiful day.

I’m grateful I woke up one minute before my alarm clock at 4:44. Good thing too since I forgot to set it last night. Grateful for coffee. Grateful for my Nespresso before my coffee. Grateful I got the Ol Burner out at 5:45 just the 2 of us. Another :poop::poop::poop: bagger :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: I’m grateful we’re both regular :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: TMI :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

Grateful I got my second walk in.
Grateful I called my best childhood friend in New Hampshire on my walk. Grateful I didn’t wonder if it’s a good time to call or not and then end up not calling.
I’m grateful we both have 2 grand babies. Well, one of his is 3. I’m grateful for the ease of conversation we have when we do talk every once or twice a year.

Grateful for the bunnies.
Grateful for the birdsong.
Grateful for the deer that darted out in front of us as we had just come out the garage door.

Grateful I’m still sober a week after Minnie died. Grateful I never have to sober up after a week long bender ever again. What a fucken waste!

Very grateful I finally have a meeting that is one of my faves to go to tonight.

I’m grateful for so much on my walk with Benson so early this morning and now I can’t remember any of it that I was going to write down here. Except the bunnies. And the birdsong. I’m grateful I remembered my Al-Anon friend that said, “If you can’t hear the birdsong then your not living in the now.” I hope she’s at the meeting tonight.

I’m grateful for my view.
Grateful for the saguaro :cactus:
Grateful it’s a dry heat.
Grateful I don’t mind the heat.
Grateful it’s not Texas heat :wink:
:pray:t2::cactus::heart::hot_face:

We put so much pressure on ourselves that we forget to look around and see where we are or how far we came.

Impressive :poop::poop::poop:
I’m grateful we just do the best we can and pick up what we can and leave the rest. But we do it because we’re responsible for our dogs actions. I could probably xeriscape a whole yard with all the rocky :poop::poop::poop: I pick up. I’m grateful it’s better than pine needles. You could always move north cold frozen :poop::poop::poop: are so much easier to scoop.
I hope this helps.
You got this :poop::poop::poop::heart:

I’m grateful I only got about 4hrs of sleep. The birdsong! I fell asleep to the sound of the lake and some quacking, and awoke early to birdsong galore. Bliss!

I’m grateful my pal (the one with the cabin) and I spent last night and this morning running around with binoculars and the Merlin app and a bird book. I’m grateful I have a little journal now for bird sightings instead of that wine journal phase. :roll_eyes:

All that birdsong… ! No choice but to live in the now, @Dazercat. And for the record, plenty of your posts are poignant and bookmarked. So grateful to be on this journey with you. :pray:

I’m so grateful for the gamut of topics we cover on this thread. Grateful I’ve survived those walks when the dog girl needed three poop bags but I only brought one. (Requires a ton of dexterity and awkward maneuvering.) Hint, @Soberbilly, always take a few extras along. :wink:

I haven’t heard how my pal in the hospice is doing. It’s time to give him and his kids and fam some space. I’ll check in with them by email later. I’m grateful I can practice letting go. It’s hard. I brought him with me, in my mind and heart on this camping trip. I read something about this being how we immortalize our dear ones. Probably doggos too…
Maybe that and crying. I think crying is sharing too, @Its_me_Stella.

I’m grateful for all of you.

I’m grateful for another day. :orange_heart:

You’ve been so diligent about facing your feelings, your grief. Working through the all-over-the-map emotions.

Don’t forget, dear friend, because it’s hard - don’t forget to be grateful to yourself for how you’ve navigated this, how you’ve taken care of things - your life, yourself. And well!

Hugs to you. :orange_heart:
