Good morning friends,
I’m grateful I got to wake up naturally this morning, that always makes me feel more rested, even if it’s at the same time my alarm would have gone off. I’m grateful I feel more energetic today- already straightened up the house, did a work out, and now just about ready to go to brunch with the girls ( my mom, sister, daughter, and Granny). I’m grateful to have a birthday “do over” 
. I’m grateful that @Dazercat quote of the day spoke to me. Have a good trip and have fun playing with Norma! I’m grateful to share gratitude with all of you❤️

Still too much to catch up. Too tired.
Today I’m grateful for being me. For adulting. For the princess in me who still loves my ex. For friends where I can steal behaviour I want for myself - leading by example, sharing by heart. For my lawyer, WTF I always learn whilst listening and keeping my mouth shut and my temper calm.
I’m grateful the court appointment was interesting. Always fun how much people lie. Always grateful my ex and I always had our side of the street clean and correct. Well, next session in october. I’m grateful my ex and I were a good team. His testimony was good and correct. I’m grateful he was fine when I said thank you and he accepted it, even said we are in this lawsuit together and it will turn out to our favour. How could it happen that we are so estranged now? Oh my codepency is striking hard. I’m grateful it’s ok for today. I don’t bother, let it be. My focus today was not on him.
I’m grateful I ate mostly healthy today. I needed my brain, the heat is desasterous to it, I’m grateful the court room had AC. I’m grateful I will share in october 
3 months to dig through notices and protocoll to grill a witnesses testimony of the opponent. We have a saying: You always meet twice in life. And I’m good and experienced to grill liars in court 
I’m so grateful for my years in being in charge for the lawsuits of Arche Noah. This experiences engraved in me. I don’t want to miss them and wouldn’t trade them for all money in the world. Now I use this experience for ME. Fighting for myself is so different. I’m grateful I do it. I have to learn to be as good as in fighting for others. I’m grateful I see progress
I’m grateful for a marvellous concert this evening. I’m grateful I don’t mind doing things I like alone. I enjoyed it allthough I forgot I don’t like this piece of classic music. It was marvellous anyway. I’m grateful I came home and had a long talk with a friend on the phone. Sitting in the garden with little traffic noise and no parties around is priceless.
I’m grateful I bought catlitter on the way to the concert. A) I remembered B) it was available 
I’m grateful for great cat company in the morning when I prepared the court session. Nothing more calming than cats wallowing on, in and under your paperwork Of course demanding snuggles and bellyrubs, stealing the pens and sleeping on your keyboard and mouse and writing pad.
My life is so much work at the moment on the inside, outside and fuckside, I don’t know how to keep up. Things I have to do, that need to be done, I want to do … and the heat drives me crazy, makes me depressive, summer always is overwhelming and time flies. Sometimes I feel like a fly in a hamsterwheel.
I’m grateful today was ok. I’m grateful tomorrow is a new day

I’m grateful it’s the weekend.
I feel the pull to go here, and maybe go do that, but I’m grateful I know deep down that I need a weekend to stay put. Put some order to my home. Putter at my desk. Unwind and make nice meals and slow my pace a little. I’m grateful to know my needs. It’s been a busy few weeks and though I like to be busy, it’s only good if I don’t use busy-ness to numb somehow. I’m grateful for some downtime.
I’m grateful for belly laughs today - lots of them! On work zoom meetings no less.
I’m grateful for colleagues-turned-pals, from years ago, and that we connect still over distance.
I’m not grateful it’s so smoky. The return of forest fire smoke. I’m grateful I’m safe, even though I’m saddened about the loss of so many trees. Where will the critters go? And people being on notice to evacuate again. I’m grateful for the forest fighters. 
I’m grateful I’ll head to bed early. Sober Friday nights and early Saturday mornings = bliss. 
I’m grateful for all of you.
I’m grateful for another day.

Oh friend! No need to explain if you don’t want to, but are you in a lawsuit with your ex against something else, at the same time that you are divorced/divorcing and separating your lives and assets? Maybe I misunderstood. Anyway, yes, court is interesting, but stressful and messy and troubling, no question!
I hope you get some good rest and plenty of cat love this weekend

Today I’m thankful summer baseball is almost done! As a head coach I love being out there everyday. But this summer I took on the role of state chairman for American Legion baseball and it’s been pretty stressful to say the least. In particular I’ve had some folks I once considered friends turn on me because of a decision that was voted on by all of the coaches and they didn’t like the outcome. It’s made me sad because at the end of the day it’s just a game. But, the positive, which I am thankful for, is normally that would be a prime reason for me to come home on a Friday and drink quite a bit more than normal folks might and I have not been tempted to do that. I simply remind myself that doing that never solved anything and it is better to confront my feelings head on than drown them until the next day.
I recently had to fire a new coach who we gave a chance to work with us this summer. He showed up to the field pretty drunk and reeking of it so there was really no denying it. As I watched this man leave my field I realized that could have easily been me. I could have thrown it all away drinking. It was sad to see another person that way, but for me personally it reaffirms I made the right choice. Sober life isn’t easy, people often wonder why you don’t drink if your drug of choice was alcohol. For me it’s not about who I was it’s about what I chose to be more important than who I was and the drug I chose. My team, my family, my work, and my personal goals, all beautiful things I’m thankful for and glad I chose over alcohol!

I am grateful for my childhood friend and knowing each other so well, that it doesn’t even need words to know, when something is going on. I am grateful we can give each other space to brood and be bad tempered and still find our way back together. When we were younger people suprisingly often thought we were sisters, although we look nothing alike (coffee and cream). Only when her daughters were born, I understood how people came to think that. I am grateful there is something much greater than appearances and skin colour that connects people in special ways. I am grateful for this special connection that outlasted great distance, time and turmoil in life without much effort.
Grateful on top for pink strawberries on my balcony and tiny tomatoes, starting to blush, my new summer dress and birds and other little critters flying by to take a sip from the bird bath. Have a splendid day, everyone

@sunflower1 How was your do over birthday celebration?
I can relate love and love the analogy. I know it doesn’t always feel like it as you are smack dab in the middle of it all but you are making loads of progress and doing an amazing job at handling all that life is throwing your way. Kuddos friend – I do hope you get a chance to relax and enjoy your weekend.
@jwfletcher4792 wow the coaching gig does sound stressful and sorry that you have had folk turn on you because of a call. I think you are doing an amazing job with your sobriety and handling stress on life’s terms. Way to go.

@timetochange grateful you will have your peace and quiet back – well done on surviving these 6 days and not giving in to the temptations
@bomdhil it’s a better day today – thanks for asking Thomas. Each day is a blessing and I know it could be a hell of a lot worse. Hope you are enjoying your holiday! You are really focused these days which I love seeing and are really showing up for yourself. You should be super proud
What a lovely Saturday to be spending with my sober friends
I am so grateful for my good nights rest.
I am so grateful that my numbness and tingling pain were minimal today. My cysts have not re-appeared and the the one that is here is not getting bigger.
I am so grateful that i was able to do a light seated 30 min yoga session along with a short walk yesterday and i don’t see any weight gain today or extra inflammation
I am so grateful that i am listening to my body and taking my own advise for self-love (not being down on myself when i don’t see / feel the progress - which others around me can see.
I am so grateful for my lovely hot cup of coffee. My sister thinks i might have to give it up based on my latest blood results but i will figure out a way - i am grateful that i will have my meeting with my doctor and specialist on Tuesday so all the guesswork can be hushed - i hope to get some solid answers
I am so grateful that it is a overcast cooler day with rain on and off. I may even go for a walk in the rain
I am so grateful for being able to push my own limits - I am determined to reverse all the damage i have done and in my heart i know that this is not an easy task but it’s far from impossible.
I am so grateful for my baby brother - he just came in to grab his vitamins and serenaded me - told me i had a beautiful smile (love my siblings)
I am so grateful for my family - my mom make my meal plan for todays detox (it’s amazing how full i feel without actually eating a whole lot - i am getting lots of protein and staying hydrated and keeping everything monitored). I am grateful for the fatigue lifting somewhat and grateful that my body is allowing me to move a bit more)… grateful that i am reminding myself not to think of how i used to be and focus on improving each day now. Also not have crazy expectations and quick turnarounds.
I am so grateful for my ever so loving HP and His unconditional love and support - grateful that i am able to meditate and pray to find my connection to Him
I am so grateful for this community and all my beautiful friends…sending you all much love
