Iām grateful for my Starbucks espresso roast beans this morning. Iām grateful said beans were deliver by Amazon yesterday before I got home. Iām grateful for a killer cup of coffee of my own making this morning.
Iām grateful I found my AirPods.
Iām grateful the flight home was all so smooth.
Iām grateful for the funny pic I just took. I think itās funny. Iāll post it on the pet thread for a laugh. Iām grateful for humor.
Iām grateful for boundaries. Iām not good at them. Oh I can make them. I can over think them. But keeping them. Fucken Ay! Not so much. Iām grateful todays boundary is going to be simple. Get Alice to the vet. Get my ass to my meeting. Sounds easy enough. Weāll see.
Iām grateful to get to my boundary I will take it one hour at a time.
Iām grateful for a lovely weekend with Chicky Chickie and fam. Iām grateful I miss her so much.
Iām grateful Benson did well at the vet boarding without his side kick 
Iām grateful when he came out to see us he was going the wrong way. And when I called him he had those funny cartoon animal hind legs excitedly turning around without getting a grip on the floor and finally running to his daddy. Iām grateful he smelled so good after they bathed him.
Iām grateful for my 4 cats and all the love I get from them in groups and individually. Iām grateful I got to feed them all too early this morning.
Iām grateful for the strange desert sunset last night. The sun was setting behind me in the west but some how there was some reflecting going on and there was sun rays setting in the East behind me. I cannot explain the desert and just love being fascinated by it.
Iām grateful to get my next walk in.
Iām grateful for chanting Om Mani Padme Hum on my walk with Benson this morning. Iām grateful at times I was belting it out.
Grateful for yāall.
Iām grateful my recovery remains as close as my next meeting.

Today Iām grateful for a fine day.
Got up early, garden work, cat chores, housework. A little meditation. Dentist appointment. Iām grateful I found a dentist who is covered by insurance and is specialized on people with anxiety. I really felt fine. Iām grateful my teeth are in good shape. Iām grateful I was brave and made my first appointment for professional dental hygiene (however this is correctly called). On Friday!!! Oh I will post on the friday thread 
Iām grateful I brought home the AC from my mumās house where it was stored. This humid heat kills me. No longer inhouse. Disconnected the wood burning stove, connected the AC to the chimney and there we go ā¦
Iām grateful after 2 hours it cooled down to a level that I could cook. A simple, delicious meal. What a joy.
Iām grateful today would have been our anniversary and I didnāt care. What a long way Iāve come in the last year 
Iām grateful for the rain, it cooled down and I can air the house overnight. Iām grateful for napping like a dead rock in the afternoon after the busy morning. I needed it.
Iām grateful for calls with friends in the evening. Iām grateful for my cozy little garden with hillarious squash plants that will conquer all of it

@geng grateful for a good GP! Glad your GP is looking out for you and invested in your good health
@rainy7 Grateful for @starlight as well ā so loving and caring. This community is absolutely the bees knees! Canāt get enough ā grateful that you are experiencing such support here.
Oh I love this so very much! Thank you Bootz ā what a lovely thing to be reminded of daily. We live addiction free so that we can enjoy all the extraās Grateful that you were able to go and tend to the mule and had such a beautiful ride and swim (sounds like an absolutely beautiful time)
Yes certainly you have! Grateful that you are able to see this. So lovely to get your AC installed and working ā yeah to no more hot humid days indoors!!
Happy Tuesday my beautiful sober friends!!!
I am so grateful for waking up to another day. Grateful that i did go back to sleep as i was utterly exhausted and didnāt get up until 10:30 (WOW)- still exhausted but had to get my ASS moving. Grateful that i was able to muster up the energy to go to their house. Grateful for my mom making me my morning juice.
I am so grateful that I was able to get ready in time and get my butt over to the doctors in time. So grateful that my doctor was outside walking her dog and gave me a huge comforting hug as I arrived.
I am so grateful that i am starting to realize how much of a fucking mystery the human body really is. Grateful to know i do not have any auto immune disease and do not have celiac disease (i do need to keep off of gluten and other foods but its not a life sentence ā YEAH). I am no closer to knowing what is the issue but have eliminated my recent fears. Grateful that i do have severe inflammation and require even more rest (i am getting better at this). I will have to reach out to my GP to get these scheduled so that I can get it covered by insurance. I am hoping that this is not a long drawn out issue.
I am so grateful that the GI MAP testing consultant said i do have lots of inflammation but canāt figure out whatās causing this BUT the test results were the healthiest sheās seen. Grateful to hear that but still a bit like then WTF is wrong with me LOL - Grateful that i will find the answers. Grateful that the fatty liver issues are not alcohol related but related to the massive weight iāve gained due to this illness and all the damn steroids UGH!! was told not to focus on this at the moment (super hard but will try).
I am so grateful that the one cyst is not really a cyst but a (not sure the proper name but a inflamed stress bubble) - i am seeing a lot of silver linings today!
I am so grateful that I have an amazing family and their support is just unbelievable! GOD BLESS THEM as I am so blessed for THEM.
I am so grateful for still having an abundance of food to eat when i have have what feels like a book of what i canāt eat 
Grateful that I figured out that my new prescription sunglasses had the wrong prescription (i am not going blind LOL) - i will be able to take them in to get fixed tomorrow.
I am so grateful for my daily practices of meditation and prayer - grateful for my connection to my HP - grateful for learning to listen to my body and act accordingly - grateful for gentle movements that allow the body to feel fluid
I am so grateful for all of you here that have gotten me this far. I am so grateful that in a few days i will have hit 7 months and the journey that i thought was impossible and unachievable is a reality because of YOU! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I love you all!
Sending so much love ā
