I am grateful that my little ones are finally on the mend and are getting better! I am grateful for the calm, smooth sailing, easy work day. I am grateful for my therapy session even thou it didnt go as expected. I am grateful for being able to afford to eat out tonight and I am grateful for my niece who spent the night tonight. It is always good to see her. I am grateful for my doting and loving husband. I am grateful for my 5 cats and 2 dogs. I am grateful for my sobriety!

I am grateful I got to post here daily since mid December. Iām grateful to get to know you guys better and itās great to read everybodyās reasons for gratitude.
I have been on TS on and off the last couple of years, but daily interaction and connection with you guys makes such a big difference. I donāt feel alone in sobriety, thank you 
I am grateful for a good AF day/evening with work yesterday. I was tired but stayed pretty late with a few collegues.
Grateful to have a new young collegue in our team (around the same age as my son). I love talking to young people. I love to hear how they see life, where they are and what their life plans are. What music they like, how they are with friends etc etc. The conversations are different in comparison to those I have with peers. I feel such a warmth in my heart when I see young people doing well!
I am grateful I got some good sleep. I am looking forward to see my family today. I am grateful to be so positive (even during hard or sad times) and I am so grateful for this tread, it reminds me every morning how beautiful life is. It is truly life changing

Iām grateful for good friends.
Upon news of Miss Kittyās departure, one of my three best friends (who lives across the country now) Door Dashed something to me. I decided to not check on what it was and let myself be surprised, though I assumed it was going to be a treat of some sort, and I thought it was a sweet gesture. When it arrived, I opened the door to flowers, a balloon, chocolates, and a steak/shrimp dinner from a local Japanese restaurant. Girl waht?? 
Another of the three has called, and also come by to spend time with me despite her schedule being quite full right now. She has also offered to take some cat items to the shelter for me so that I donāt have to do it myself if it would be easier for me. The other friend (who now lives a few states over) has been in constant contact with little texts and words of encouragement despite the fact that she is personally on the fast track toward the beyond.
I feel very grateful that I have these three wonderful friends who have collectively showered me with the five ālove languagesā of ātime, words of affection, acts of service, touch (hugs), and giftsā during this difficult time. I have never in my life received the amount of love and support as I have over the last few daysāfrom people I know offline and the people I know onlineāand I am touched and grateful to a depth that I canāt properly express

@Chiron that was so lovely to read! Iām grateful that you got all of that support!
I am grateful for a late Christmas present that came from my Aunt and Uncle last nightā¦the very softest and warmest of blankets. I cocooned in it last night and am finding it hard to extract myself from it this morning! I am grateful that I went to a large gathering of friends for a birthday party last night and drank water, and no one batted an eye. I was able to overcome my social anxiety enough to truly enjoy myself without the crutch of alcohol. To truly enjoy my friends with a clear head, for that I am grateful indeed. ODAAT

A lovely Friday morning gratitudeā¦
so much to be grateful forā¦
I am so grateful for a lovely Friday morning. Grateful for being awake - for breathing without trouble, for not waking up in craving mode or hangover mode. Grateful for waking up with a zest for life.
I am so grateful that i have decided to take a break from my Chinese treatment. I will have my final assessment on Monday and then will hit pause till after the surgery.
I am so grateful that my mom called radiology to and found out that the referrals were never sent. Come to find out that her surgery needs to be changed and they just never called to discuss or reset the date. I am trying not to get frustrated by these things. Grateful for taking a deep breath and making sure to follow up with all the appointments personally so nothing else slips through the cracks.
I am so grateful i received my allergy friendly additive free hair dye - i chose green ā ooh, looking forward to trying it out. I am not sure if i want to do a streak or just the tips or ā¦ who knows LOL
I am so grateful that i was able to have energy to get the house cleaned yesterday.
I am so grateful that my mom had me stop by after my treatment yesterday - she made me a delicious dinner. She is so awesome!
I am so grateful that i am planning to have some quality mom time with me today.
I am so grateful for my family, friends, my HP, my meditation and prayer practices, my ability to get my daily steps in. Grateful that for now my inflammation has no decreased but so happy that it has not increased.
I am so grateful for my coffee 
I am so grateful for this beautiful community! Grateful for the support and love we provide for each other on this life long path of sobriety.
Wishing you all so much love

Iām grateful I was able to have black coffee this morning before fasting blood work. Iām grateful for Om Mani Padme Hum mantra this morning. Iām grateful I listened to it and then listened to it on the way to the docs. Iām grateful when there was a long line I kept humming it to myself. Mostly. I think I let out some chants but not too loudly. Iām grateful it was busy and took much longer than I thought and I just sat there with a chant in my head, a smile on my face, and a possible meme or 2 and actually got caught up on here a bit.
Iām grateful she had no problem finding my vein 
Iām grateful it takes forever to get caught up on the gratitude thread if you miss a day. Iām grateful Iām still working on it. Iām grateful we are such a grateful lot.
Iām grateful Iām home now and Mavy is bashing his will on me. Iām grateful Benson doesnāt mind waiting a bit. Besides itās freezing. Iām grateful for the clear and cold early morning whizzy with Benson and the full moon I saw over Black Mountain at day break.
Iām grateful I was reminded why I never let Benson out alone when I saw 2 of the biggest healthiest beefiest coyotes Iāve ever seen 
down on the tee box headed next door.
Iām grateful Mavy is still on my lap all snuggled in. I didnāt want to walk right now anyway.
Iām grateful wifey said she didnāt want to go to the AA speaker meeting tonight, but sheād cook dinner if I went. Iām grateful I didnāt want to go either, but if it gets me a home cooked dinner 
ā¦.ā¦ā¦.itāll be our gratitude secret 
Iām grateful it doesnāt matter why you go to a meeting. AA or Al-Anon. As long as you go you will/might hear the message. If you donāt go chance you wonāt hear the message.
Iām grateful for fat cats and coffee.
Iām grateful itās my favorite season. Award 
Season. Iām grateful I previewed a bunch of movies I need to get watched before the Oscars. Iām grateful a lot of them donāt look that good to me so I should be able to knock them out by March.
Iām grateful Mavy, my serenity cat, seems more loving than ever lately. Iām grateful for the test of my will to hold my bladder and hope he gets up first 
Iām grateful for yāall.
To compare is to dispair
Just heard it at a meeting Sunday night.

Far too much to catch up.
Today Iām grateful I ticked off some points off the to do list again. Iām grateful I threw away broken garden stuff to fill the trashbin. Iām grateful I was not completely lost in office work today, getting tired quickly.
Iām grateful I could stay at home all day. Iām grateful I shut down the phone to better concentrate, it helps.
Iām grateful I communicate my boundaries and contribute only as much as I can to a pop-up idea in my chosen family. First things first. At the moment my priorities are on the lawsuit with the ex and finances + organization in general, not on digging out old pictures. Sorry not sorry.
Iām grateful for my cats, I love them to pieces. I can see that the young ones would love to move back to the farm. So it will be, soon. Maybe one more week and Iām fit enough and done with everything I have to finish here in town. No hope, only let go and see what happens. Iām grateful for delicious leftovers I can pimp with fresh veggies & herbs. No big deal with a wow-effect. Iām grateful I feel inspired to seed more, awww, the mini-seedlings are growing bigger every day. Iām grateful for 2 good, serene days in a row.
Iām grateful I call it a day now, skip knitting and go to bed early. It would be wonderful if I make an early trip to the farmers market tomorrow. Waking up nearer my normal times got better this week. Iāll try. ODAAT

I had a good day today, Iām grateful I enjoyed it.
I worked with an old friend this morning which was nice.
Then I met another friend for a run, weāre doing C25k, was a good session.
Then home, did a few little jobs and relaxed in front of the tv for a bit then early to bed. Nothing exciting but thatās ok.
Grateful for routine today

I am working super hard to be grateful for what I have.
I am grateful to currently access this property. I hope to continue to do so. I am grateful that we never have the right or ability to bet on the future. I am grateful that many times there are things outside of our human control.
I am grateful that I am healthy-ish. I am grateful I can stand up to cook and that taste and smell may come back soon.
I am grateful to reinvest my eligibility prior to my birthday.
I am grateful to this point that my kids are OK-ish. I hope for what is best for them.
I appreciate you. I want to continue to do so and appreciate myself. Happy all around the world, peeps. Wherever youāre from, have a good day.

Grateful I woke up at 8. Although Iām not getting my 8 to 9 hours sleep (yet), Iām working on a regular sleeping pattern. 10pm-7am sleep is the goal, but I have to work on getting to bed earlier.
My moments on TS are in the morning and before bedtime. Iāll make the latter an after diner check-in so I can put my phone away after that. I mostly use my phone for TS and Youtube, so I think that will work. I already removed YT from my phone and going to use the iPad for that. I hate iOS, so Iām not tempted to use it for anything else than watching/listening to YT.
I am grateful being sober allows me to work on my health. Quality sleep wasnāt on my priority list during active drinkingā¦
I am grateful for going through hard times with my family together and Iām grateful I am present and reliable. No sedation, just raw emotions, the bad but also the good ones! Grateful for dog cuddles, especially these days.
I am grateful for having no set plans this weekend. Painting, dog walks, cooking and maybe a movie.
Grateful for being able to vent here. I had a personal diary before, but reading your daily check-ins and knowing you guys reading mine is so valuable to me.
Grateful for these sunny days after storm, grayness and rain!
