Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery #4

What?!? You’re moving? As you can tell, I’m shocked :astonished: but happy at the same time.
I’m grateful you have the the ability and freedom to do this while Gus is still a baby. Grateful I’ll get to hear more Gus stories. Grateful you are experiencing another move while sober. Grateful you share all of you with all of us. :heart:

I’m grateful it stayed cloudy long enough this morning for me to get a walk in without overheating.
I’m grateful I have several places close by to walk that is in nature and not busy roads.
I’m grateful for my cats even when they wake me up on the weekends.
I’m grateful I can get a nap in today.
I’m grateful for modern conveniences like a dishwasher and my own washer and dryer.

I’m grateful for all of you!

I’m grateful for my Guatemalan and Espresso roast beans I mixed. The Guatemalan roast wasn’t cutting it.

I’m grateful for all of you and the responses and the support. You’re shocked :flushed: @Lisa07 My mind is blown :scream: I’m grateful I guess it’s what we do. I’m grateful this is the last one!!! :joy:
Grateful I’m running out of land. I’m grateful I Started in the Boston area I’m ending up in the LA area. I’m grateful if I go any further west I’ll be in Hawaii. :thinking: grateful I have pets so Hawaii is not an option. Presently.

I’m grateful I texted my agent yesterday see if he is around this week. I’m grateful he’s coming right over today :flushed: shits really getting real.

I’m grateful we watched the 4th Indiana Jones movie at home last night. I must have totally missed that one.

I’m grateful Benson and I had a great walk early this morning.

I’m grateful for the Mantra recommendations from Billy and Stella over there on the meditation thread. I’m sure they will be coming in handy as they did this morning. Especially now that we all of a sudden have a lot going on.

I’m grateful I can take it all OFTAAT. :thinking: Maybe :thinking:
One Fucking Thing At A Time.

I’m grateful my daughter seems to be really excited about our move. She’s never had any of her own family really settle in Cali. She’s been blessed and bombarded with recovered Italian In-Laws that love to fight! And have wonderful family dinners. I’m grateful she’s probably looking forward to hiding out at our house when necessary :joy:

I’m grateful for my coffee meme buddy too.
I’m grateful we have a new meme Queen I don’t think I can keep up with you.

I’m grateful I’m sober.
I’m grateful I got shit to do :wave:

I’m grateful to God for lovingly guiding me through today while helping me abstain from my addictions. I’m grateful for my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. I’m grateful for a lovely Sunday off. I got groceries and laundry done, went to church, golfed 18 holes and brought my sponsee with me, went out for pizza and capped off the evening by opening up an AA meeting that was incredible and got to share my highs and lows off living life on lifes terms. I’m grateful the chairperson made us laugh and gave my sponsee a big book so I can encourage him to study it, not just read it. I’m grateful for the blue herron that was hanging around my favorite hole on the golf course today. Should i name him Eric? I’m grateful that @M-be-free49 had a birthday recently and wish you the best year with your new parcel of heavenly land. I’m grateful that @Bomdhil has been joining us here on our home thread
I’m grateful @bootz knows how to not cave in to those nagging thoughts and teaching us to be prepared to make ammends. I’m grateful @JazzyS is sharing and caring like a boss. I’m grateful @Its_me_Stella had a lovely sober camping trip with her daughter. I’m grateful @LAB checks in every weekend like clockwork, I look forward to reading your posts. I’m grateful for music, humor and laughter.

May our higher powers help us learn to love oursleves.

p.s. I believe in you. Ya you!!

I’m grateful for a good weekend. Lots of rest. Walks. Stocking my little pantry and preparing good meals. A bit of desky adulty stuff balanced out with fun stuff and TS time too.

I’m grateful for the meeting tonight. The reminder about just how much suffering the suffering can be. No more. Grateful.

I’m grateful for the times I can hold all of my emotions, have room for them all. Emoji salad, I think we called it? Grateful to read how @rainy7 put it: “I’m grateful for this depression bug, because I remember what it’s like to cry again.” Ah, we can’t selectively numb our emotions, so come one, come all - hey? I’m grateful when some of 'em pass, to be sure.

Grateful for this space and to share our recoveries.
Great to see you @Peace!
Grateful for the heartwarming pic of @Anthonyb925 and his daughter! Now, I had the best Dad going, but I’m grateful there are a lotta daughters with TS Dads (and Grandpas) who can say the same thing. The gifts of recovery. :pray:
Speaking of Gpas, I’d be honoured and grateful to have a loon named after me @Dazercat. I am kinda loony after all :wink:

I’m grateful for another day. :orange_heart:

Today im grateful for time spent with my daughter. For self care and to be able to pamper my daughter and myself. Today i got a pedicure and she got a mani pedi, her nails painted and her hair cut to get ready for her first day of 4th grade tomorrow. The experience was amazing. We’ll definitely be doing it again.

Good morning friends,
I’m grateful for the sleep I managed to get, and for the almond rocca latte I made for myself this morning, I need a little pep. I’m grateful to be sitting on the porch swing watching the sunrise. I’m grateful to hear all of the small airplanes flying around, it brings back good memories of childhood. I’m grateful for the birds I can hear and see flying by. I’m grateful there’s a cool breeze, and the high today should only be 99. I’m grateful I can exercise and get some endorphins today. I’m grateful I found the meditation for letting go of anger, and I can do that today also. I’m grateful to see everyone’s check ins and gratitudes. I’m grateful for education and self compassion.:heart:
