Huh…never heard of it. I do like dandelions and chicory…will look into it. Is it bitter tasting cause of the dandelions ? Thank you

I am, as always, grateful that after ~3 years I am able to get adequate sleep now that I have help (which I am eternally grateful for) with miss kitty’s strict 4 hour feeding and 6 hour medication schedule. Even though it’s only been a few weeks, I can literally feel myself getting healthier. Being chronically sleep deprived took even more of a toll on my emotional and physical health than I realized.
I am also grateful that miss kitty is still able to go up and down stairs, though she rarely does, which led to an amusing occurrence of being surprised by her meowing at me in the dark of the living room when I came down this morning to get her food. Even though she is fed every 4 hours, she is always hungry because of her thyroid problems, so she was searching for food downstairs.
I’m also grateful I have not just one, but three, very close friends. Real friendship is such a treasured gem, especially in a world where the word is devalued and a “friend” is relegated to some person who might be following you online somewhere. In my view, a true friend is someone who will celebrate with you in your victories, and cry with you in your sorrows (and you with them).

Good morning friends! I’m grateful it’s a sunny morning, and the office is filled with good cheer (there’s free donuts and pizza lol). I’m grateful I got the Christmas trees and menorah up yesterday for people to enjoy, they all seem happy for a bit of festivity. I’m grateful to work in a place where overall people are kind and good natured, and I’m grateful that my co-workers always seem happy to see me. I’m grateful to feel like a person that people are happy to see. I’m grateful I frequently get the opportunity to remind myself to do my best and that it’s ok to adjust my expectations to the best I can do at the moment. Well I’m working on being grateful for that.

Good grateful morning to you CJ 
I’m grateful for the difference a day makes.
I’m grateful for a lovely morning this morning.
I’m grateful, early this morning in bed, Daisy gently tamped and precisely worked her fluffy butt onto my left shoulder and settled in for a purr with her tail wrapped around my head lightly tapping. I’m gratefully impressed after about 5 minutes how quickly she jettisoned herself off me without any warning or scarring.
I’m grateful while doing my morning chores I stop to pet the cat. Or stopped to pet the dog. Or stop for a slug of my coffee. What’s the fucking rush?
I’m grateful for the cloudy morning as the light comes up without sun.
I’m grateful wifey has tickets to Lovett It Or Leave tonight and she’s not sure if she wants to go. I’m grateful I don’t care. In a loving way. I’m grateful I told her I’ll go or not go. Whatever and whenever you decide. Grateful for flexibility at short notice.
I’m grateful I manned it up and cooked dinner last night. I wasn’t up to it. Headachey and just kind of blah. I’m grateful maybe it was just what I needed because my dinner came out GREAT 
I’m grateful we plan on baking cookies today. We want to bring some of her, the best oatmeal cookies bar none, to the vet for Christmas, since they do a great job of taking care of our pets. I’m grateful she likes my plan of baking cookies and sending them to our kids for Christmas. I’m grateful we will try this as it is very new to us. I’m grateful I think it will be fun and meaningful and unexpected.
I’m grateful we didn’t drink yesterday and I’m not drinking today.
I’m grateful for coffee with my sponsor yesterday and I told him I can “find” happiness whether my wife is drinking or not. Like the Al-Anon welcome says. But I know I am truly at my happiest when my wife is not drinking. I’m grateful he said that makes sense. I’m grateful I was able to unload how much shit I been through the last 3 years and he understands. And I don’t ever want to go back to that. I’m grateful he’s teaching me not to over think step 4. I’m grateful we have a lot in common. I’m grateful he told me journaling about some of those things really helped him. I’m grateful we are both from outside of Boston. How cool is that? I’m grateful god puts the right person in the right place at the right time. I’m grateful he’s a double winner like me with a shitload of both kinds of recovery.
I’m grateful I don’t have to give up coffee 
I’m grateful we have cold water at the kitchen sink again. We just thought it was the desert heat not letting the water pipes cool off. It was a broken T diffuser thingy 
that mixes the hot and cold. I’m grateful I won’t be washing fruit and veg with warm water anymore 
I’m grateful when wifey wants to go out to lunch I’m flexible now because drinking isn’t an issue. Currently.
I’m grateful Alice is back on my lap purring.
I’m grateful wifey is up and we will walk the dog.
I’m grateful I’ll never get use to not saying dogs 
I’m grateful for Minnie and all the dogs I have had and miss.
I’m grateful for gratitude and gratidudes.

Gratitude… Coffee giving me superhero focus when I really need it during a funk.
Grateful for my lovely and inexpensive rental home where it’s just me and my dog being weird.
Grateful for my community and being able to give back to those in need when I can, and take help when I can’t.
Grateful my ex and I are still trying to be friends, I can’t imagine my life without him but I don’t think we can be together as a couple.
Grateful for WFH naps.

@Its_me_Stella I want to thank you for yor presence and sharings. Some of it echoed deep in me and I’ve been thinking a lot these days. Nothing to share from myself, just want to express gratitude for you being you and sharing your journey

I need to start a gratitude habit, it’s good practice, though lately I have felt like the Grinch of Grateful Past. Why? Resentments, overhanging insecurities and misplaced entitlement from a hurt butt.
I’m grateful for this platform, not everyone has this help or access to a phone or the internet, not everyone can talk or write or comprehend language. We are very privileged. Never ever take advantage of privilege.
I’m grateful I still have a job, despite it not being the best experience currently. I’m worried about the future, but it hasn’t happened yet, so I need to be grateful for today instead.
I’m grateful I have enough money to have a nice enough life, much more than I need in fact.
I’m grateful that first and foremost I have the ability to communicate.

As I rolled out of bed with my 6am alarm, even though I could have slept longer, I felt grateful that I was getting up at that time because I knew that meant I was on a solid sleeping schedule and that I would get to go to bed at 10pm tonight.
I’m grateful that it seems miss kitty did eat some of her 2am feeding, but concerned when I checked her litter box. I gave her an organ massage and she does feel a little constipated, which has become more difficult to deal with since she now only drinks out of her large water fountain and MiraLAX is hard to give in her drinking water. I will continue to watch her and she might be getting an oral syringe mixture later today.
I am grateful that I’ve successfully climbed out of the deep pit of apathy I somehow fell into these last couple years. I am sure that the chronic lack of sleep, continuous health issues and pain, and the number of people in my life who have passed away (and even still a couple who are dying) were large contributing factors.

Good morning friends! I’m grateful it’s Friday, and the only plans on the horizon are a cheeseburger and movie date with my sweet man. And sleeping. And crocheting. I’m grateful to feel a little better every day. I’m grateful for lists. I’m grateful for football snuggles and Chinese food. I’m grateful for my silly pups and I’m grateful I have so many things to smile about.

I’m grateful this OG went out to a show at 8pm. That’s really late 
I’m grateful I made it home before midnight; always thinking I’m grateful I’m driving sober late at night especially in the rain with slick roads and highway traffic I’m unfamiliar with. I’m grateful I didn’t have to pee once during the show. I’m grateful I nursed a Liquid Death Tall Boy Sparkling water instead of the 2 of us stocking up with 4 drinks and wondering if that will be enough to get us through the show.
I’m grateful the oat meal cookies came out great. I’m grateful we did a double batch and got more than we expected and can get some mailed off and some delivered today.
I’m grateful for my coffee.
I’m grateful for my hot tea now.
I’m grateful to be able to take it easy this morning. I know…. What else is new?
I’m grateful we can get quite a few things done today before our next trip. I’m grateful the wife’s car is finally ready. I’m grateful like I mentioned weeks ago we don’t need it but C’mon! It’s seems like it’s been 3 weeks 
I’m grateful my 21 year old car is running smoothly, ever since I got it back from the shop and spent a wad on it. I’m grateful for my new tires and all the work they did and we are getting along splendidly.
I’m grateful Benson is sitting on the ottoman patiently waiting for his walk.
I’m grateful we don’t have to do Alice today.
I’m grateful for the fire in my fireplace and the cold wet desert morning out there.
Grateful to be sober with all you sober gratidudes.

Today I’m grateful I found a way to stock up firewood at the furnace room. My asshole ex told me yesterday he won’t help and his fucking stonewall is still not finished so I still can’t reach the furnace room with the tractor. I’m grateful some day this bullshit will be over.
I’m grateful for yummi sandwiches, I tried a new combination of toppings and liked it.
I’m grateful I woke up from my nap with 3 cats beside me 
I’m grateful I rested a lot today, yesterday was an intense and productive day.
I’m grateful the nice man I met in summer sent me lovely pictures of his cat. I’m grateful for our nice chitchats.
I’m grateful for freedom, peace, a roof over my head, all the good people in my life and the fact that tomorrow is another day. ODAAT
