Early evening gratitude. Iām not able to catch up on the thread and Iām grateful thatās ok
Today Iām grateful for sleeping in and sleeping on after a short trip to feed the cats. Cat on me = falling asleep instantly
Iām grateful I nonetheless got fresh veggies, I was the last customer before the local farmer closed for the weekend Lucky me!
Iām grateful I stocked up on canned food like beans, lentils and corn, I used up most of it. Iām grateful my favourite juice brand was on sale today. I donāt drink a lot of juice and this multipack will last for long. Iām grateful I proceed in emptying the freezer. Yummi fish is waiting for dinner.
Iām grateful I got to get the car washed today. Boy was that needed.
Iām grateful for understanding friends who donāt mind that I needed some quiet time today. We will talk another day
Iām grateful I did the bare minimum today, not even vacuumed. Iām grateful I take time to rest and recover from yesterdayās absurdity. Iām grateful itās out of my control and I donāt try to change the situation. Instead I work on acceptance and allow my grim sense of humor to be a bit bitchy and sarcastic. Iām grateful thereās power in surrendering as I can do shit about nothing. Time to focus on other things Iām grateful this perspective lightens my heart and I feel good energy coming again to make plans for this year. Iām grateful I heartfeltly donāt give a fuck anymore.
Iām grateful it will be an early night today. I love winter mornings and tomorrow a nice one is forecasted. ODAAT
I am grateful that I donāt have plans today, I needed a good sleep in. I am grateful for warm blankets on cold mornings. Truly grateful for you lovely fellow grateful people.

Saturday morning gratitudeās
I am so grateful that I got my ultrasound done with this morning. SO damn grateful to confirm that the pain Iām feeling is real (the cyst has been growing). Grateful that I had scheduled the surgery last month for end of Feb so that I will not have to wait for next opening.
I am so grateful that I took some piping hot coffee to my appointment so that I could enjoy a lovely sip of heaven when I completed the ultrasound.
I am so grateful that my appointment went quickly and I was able to run an errand for my parents this morning
I am so grateful that I am at the restaurant catching up on TS while waiting for my mom to finish up for the day⦠I am making sure she does not stay here all day today. My sister is coming to visit so I would like my mom to be at home able to enjoy some quality time.
I am so grateful that my lovely mom brought some soaked seeds and blueberries for me to eat. Grateful that I was not expecting to stay this long so it was nice to have something healthy to munch on.
I am so grateful for slowly losing my attachments to materialistic things.
I am so grateful that I am ok not having found a tenant yet. Grateful that I donāt have to worry about shoveling the walk / drive way for next week. We are supposed to get 40 degree weather! Insanity ā we will see people in shorts and tank tops

I am so grateful for my love of healthy eating. Grateful that I have access to such amazing types of food. Grateful that I do enjoy cooking and baking. Grateful that I am finding some very impressive sugar free recipes and looking forward to trying them out.
I am so grateful for space heaters. SO crazy how even with them my room stays on the cooler side. Grateful that I have plenty of warm clothes and blankets to keep me feel toasty.
I am so grateful for the fun I am having with my mom today. She is learning the art of sarcasm and it is absolutely hilarious. I am doing my best to crack jokes and keep her laughing ā which in turn has me in stiches too. SO very grateful for laughter.
I am so grateful for my HP. Grateful that even when I feel defeated I know deep down that I will get through this. I am grateful that I realize that one year is not all that long for the healing process. I have spent decades in messing up my body and it will take its time to undo all the damage.
I am so grateful for you all ā grateful for a community that is so supportive and active. Grateful that to have this lovely place to turn to for comfort and support and yeah some laughter too
I am feeling so full with gratefulness today ā love those days when it just flows out of you.

What a day that was. I am truly greatful that at some point through the day this hormonal fog started lifting. My brain started working again, the nausea subsided. I even managed to do a short yoga class. Good thing shitty health stuff is impermanent Feels like being reborn.
As always I am grateful for yoga, for my lovely, crazy family, for TV to get your mind of stuff. And for this wonderful place here.
Morning gratitude.
Iām grateful for a good night with restful sleep. Iām grateful I was able to detach and shoo away a horrible nightmare before waking up.
Iām grateful I already did laundry allthough I went back to bed afterwards to cuddle with the cats Cats and laundry, cats and bedding, Iām grateful for this lovely, innocent fun.
Iām grateful for texts and compassion from friends. Iām grateful I feel relieved and still donāt give a fuck. Iām grateful the heavyness and burden fell from my shoulders somehow after this circus in court on friday. Easyness & fuck it in itās glorious splendor on a beautiful sunday. Yesterday it was +8 degrees celsius during the day, now itās -8. This weather is ridiculous. Iām grateful for crisp sunny winter days!
Iām grateful for a full fridge and looking forward to breakfast, lunch and dinner. Iām grateful I enjoy my sunday ODAAT
Sunday morning. I woke up at 8, although my alarm was set at 9.30. Grateful for some extra time to read here and have my coffee in bed (with the heated blanket on).
Grateful to meet a friend at the park for a walk. Iām still sniffy and low in energy but itās good to get some fresh air.
Grateful for finally knowing what colors to paint the home, I have postponing it for over a year. Will go to the store next week for a warm terracotta paint for the bedroom and sand for the kitchen. Also will install the spotrail in the kitchen thatās lying in the closet for over a year. I am grateful for my apartment, itās not too big or small and it has a lot of windows (light!).
Grateful I didnāt get sick with the cold or the flu, hopefully it will stay that way. Grateful for good sleep, it makes all the difference.
Wishing you all a beautiful Sunday
Happy Sunday, fellow gratitudees! I am grateful for rainy days, we do not have them nearly enough here. I am grateful for Sunday morning coffee and my online SMART meeting.

Iām grateful 4 years and about ten days ago I wrote in here after 2 weeks sober that I was planning on drinking for my birthday. I know some of you long timers remember this. Iām grateful I caught my relapse a week before it happened and it wasnāt too late. Iām grateful I learned without knowing it that relapse starts waaay before the first drink! Iām grateful when that thought entered my mind I got it out here!! Iām grateful I think that was my turning point in my sobriety. No looking back. Iām so grateful I had sparkling water that night at the fancy restaurant. Iām grateful I no longer look at restaurant menus on line and go right for the wine and cocktails menu. Iām grateful I now get to pick restaurants by what I want to eat instead of their drink lists. Iām grateful I donāt plan my day, morning, lunch, dinner, evening around a drink. Iām grateful I get to plan my day around life and the wonderful things in it. Iām grateful I didnāt drink that birthday and Iām probably not drinking this birthday Iām grateful drinking isnāt even an option anymore. Iām grateful Iām not triggered by other peopleās drinking. Iām grateful I look at it as a reminder I donāt want to do that anymore. Iām grateful grateful grateful I get to never have a fucking skull crushing pounding hangover ever again. Iām grateful I got to walk my dogs with joy instead of sick regret in the mornings now. Iām grateful I get to walk Benson hangover free now. Iām grateful I get to appreciate the love of my 4 cats now more that ever. Iām grateful they appreciate me more now to.
And Iām grateful for all you guys and your gratitude on this very special thread. Iām grateful I know I couldnāt do it without you all and all the gratitude expressed here.
āGratitude gives us eyes to see God, Earth, beauty, love, joy, and abundance. Everything we never knew was already right there in front of us, waiting. We just needed gratitude to open our eyes.ā

What a wonderful day today. I woke up and knew Iād be able to move again in a way that always makes me feel whole. I am so grateful for that. Movement ist my way of worship and prayer. Movement and meditation.
I am grateful for morning movement practice, for vispassan meditation practice, for breathing practice.
I am grateful for coffee in the morning, for puttering around.
I am grateful for going over the last week and seeing all those beautiful things that had the opportunitiy to bloom.
I am grateful for a long walk with my partner, for my city, for the wonderful talk we had, for our marriage.
I am grateful for my yoga practice, for strong movements, for focus and breath.
I am grateful for 60 days of sobriety. This day would have not been possible without sobriety, without this place here, without help.
Iām grateful to God for guiding me and helping me abstain from my addictions. Iām grateful for my family, friends, TS and the gratidudes. Iām grateful I am way behind in reading and blame not getting an hour lunch break anymore. Iām grateful my work schedule is now Monday to Friday day shift but only half hour lunch. I miss that part of my routine where I spent ten minutes a day reading your gratitude and sometimes found time to post. I also would do some daily readings and meditate. It has affected my serenity. Iām grateful that I spoke at an NA celebration this past week. Iām grateful I got over how bad it made me feel to bring up old trauma and it proceeded to cause me to lose focus. Iām grateful I havenāt got too bent out of shape from a recent rejection from the fairer sex, my speaker meeting bomb , upcoming milestone malady and grief surrounding my dadās upcoming death anniversary, a tenant passing away the same day I spoke, and to top it off the pity party on the gratitude thread, I couldāve been celebrating four years a couple weeks ago instead of 11 months. Iām grateful that all this is in the past and that the program works. Iām grateful I was able to pray about it all, talk with my sponsor, friends, grief counselor and family. Iām grateful I can tell you all about it now as I have been wanting to for weeks but stay very busy and need sleep. Iām grateful I fell asleep a few times over the last couple weeks while attempting to read and post here and shut off my phone in favor of sleep. Iām grateful for music, humor and laughter. Iām grateful that Church service was awesome today. Iām grateful I went to two meeting as well and they were really good. Iām grateful I went ice skating last evening and for sports. Iām grateful some of my long term professional teams I follow are doing well, go Edmonton Oilers and Buffalo Bills. Iām grateful my sponseeās have been showing up at lots of meetings lately including the step group I chair Sunday afternoons. Iām grateful I show up for myself and others as best I can on good and bad dayās or weeks. Iām grateful I know I will catch up on here as I have before O.D.A.A.T.
God bless us all. &
p.s. Youāre a star, shine bright. Ya you!!
Edit to add. Iām grateful that Peace has been climbing under the covers with me lately to sleep, like now. Good night friends
