Just a little thing tonight. I am grateful that I was able to go to dinner at my in-laws house and enjoy myself far more than when I was drinking. That I was able to turn down a drink without feeling any regret, just happiness at my better choices. Every day is not so easy, but today was and for that I am grateful.

I am so grateful for my lovely siblings. They bought me a really nice hoody and sweater for my birthday. Not sure why they need to give me a gift so early. Appreciate the love and consideration
I am so grateful for getting my Dandelion Chicory coffee alternative today. It did smell lovely and tasted decent but still did not hit the spot like coffee - was more like a tea. Grateful that it is something else to drink besides my cleanses and water.
I am so grateful for my daily practices that help me be mindful and stay connected.

Iām grateful that even though I woke a couple hours early and wasnāt able to get back to sleep, I overall got an adequate amount of rest. Iām also grateful that the first 72 hours of my latest caffeine reduction has passed, which means I should be over the worst of the acute withdrawal symptoms.
Iām also grateful that the snow we got over the weekend didnāt stick. I am not particularly keen on the idea of needing to shovel at the moment; and, while it is pretty at first, inevitably snow in the city just makes things more drab and depressing as the snow gets dirty and piled up in places.
@JazzyS It does smell amazing. This is the candle: 11oz Smells Like Cacao & Vanilla Candle ā Stone Candles . I paid half of what they are charging on that website. Even at that price, it was definitely a splurge.
@Lisa07 Iām very sorry for your loss. It is sad when any of the bright lights of life go out in this world, but it is particularly tragic when those lights should have been burning for a lot longer but go out unexpectedly. I hope you and your family will be able to find some comfort in this difficult time. Iām glad to hear the health scare you experienced passed.
@erntedank Your holiday arrangement is very lovely!
@james83 This is a great thing to hear. Iām grateful you shared that and that you had that experience.

Today Iām grateful for me for choosing to make my life better each day. Iām grateful my choices donāt make life harder than it needs to be any more. Iām grateful to be feeling better and to have my holiday feet under me again, and to remind myself that this time of year only has to be as overwhelming as I decide to make it. Iām grateful for my healthy minds podcast, and Iām grateful to be reminded to pause, be present, and be aware and open to my feelings so that I can understand them and manage my sh-- effectively. Iām grateful for the health of my friends and family, and my own too! It is a gray and gloomy day, so I will try to shine brightly!

Today Iām grateful I more and more sink into the preparations for my annual fasting week. It is a very spiritual process and Iām grateful I came to terms that I let go of my past relationship and all the following ups & downs through this fast. Iām grateful I feel done and want to settle this chapter in peace for me. Iām grateful Iām kind to myself and listen to my heart. My heart wants peace, my mind wants to head for new things, my body is in hibernation mode waiting to restart with the new year. Iām grateful for this beautiful end-of-year phase, I enjoy it so much. Iām grateful itās time to let go
Iām grateful my therapist was understanding and we had todayās appointment on the phone. I was so anxious about driving in todayās cold, grey weather. I even had to push myself to heat the furnace, the stairs to the cellar are icy and my anxiety drove me nuts with thoughts about what would happen to my cats when I get severely hurt. Iām utmost grateful this feeling was gone after therapy
Iām grateful I brushed the cats yesterday, they are the sweetest soft fluffballs 
Iām grateful I already took my sleeping aid. I need solid 8 hours of sleep, tomorrow will be intense. Iām grateful for helping meds.
It makes me smile that I danced a bit today. Iām grateful that I sometimes move my hips to a song. Iām grateful I rarely listen to music but when, I enjoy it. Iām grateful I work on finding peace in my heart and soul. ODAAT
PS: Thanks to all who complimented on the Advent arrangement! Iām happy you like it

Iām grateful itās been a hella couple of days getting ready for our big trip.
Iām grateful we found Mavy. I was in full panic mode. All the other cats in crates and Iām running around the house with a vacuum but I donāt know where he is. Iām grateful I finally thought to look under the blankets on the couch. Clever guy. We were looking under and behind things.
Iām grateful we love and know our vet and their boarding department love and take great care of our pets but it still sucks leaving them. Or rather dumping them off there.
Iām grateful we will be meeting my son and his family in London for a 4 Alarm Christmas extravaganza. Iām grateful there are non stops to London from Phoenix and Iām especially grateful we have the means to make this trip possible.
Iām grateful Iāve been able to read and stay caught up on our home thread; though I havenāt posted much lately.
Like, Brian I am so very grateful and practice gratitude continually without even thinking these days. Iām grateful it just comes naturally.
Iām grateful for you @Chiron I cannot believe itās been almost 4 years. Iāll always treasure our friendship. I especially remember when you saved my ass quite a few times in the early days during some political turmoil with some PMās late into the night. At least at my end. Apparently nothing has changed except me. Iām grateful Iāve learned only I can change how I look at these things that frustrate the hell out of me.
Iām grateful Jazzy is getting a new mouthguard made. Let me know how that works out. The process. I got one thatās working but it is pretty loose. I donāt want to sit through the process of molding a new one.
Iām grateful Iām on line at 35000 feet. Itās a little spotty up here.
Iām grateful Iām going to enjoy myself no matter what in London.
Iām grateful Iāll be sober and thatās all I can make sure happens.
Iām grateful Iāve invited my friend Julie for a proper tea at the Savoy and we cannot wait to meet up again. Twice in one year. Iām grateful I can show off my granddaughter and she is grateful and happy to meet her and my sonās wife.
Iām grateful itās gonna be a wild cold rainy festive Holiday week for us.
Iām grateful my DIL got a babysitter and suggested we see Les Miserables. Iāve never seen it. Grateful Iāll see it first in London where the theatre imo is the best in the world.
Iām so grateful I get to do these things and I get to do them sober. Iām grateful for my Aha Water.
Iām grateful for you all.
Iām so grateful for all the travel adventures Iāve had and am having in my lifetime

Iām grateful the check of the furnace exhaust went well, all values ok
