Iām grateful that I allowed myself to be vulnerable and chatty with my seniors at work, who I wouldnāt normally sit by but who I do enjoy talking to.
Iām grateful that I didnāt let my exhaustion from work ruin my evening, I took a nap and went to the gym and showered, and I feel much better.

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

Mid Morning gratitude.
Iām grateful my cats are the best alarm clocks. Every day around half past 6 they wake me up purring, snuggling, tamping on me and miowing 
Iām grateful I took immediately action when I discovered a sore throat. Already feeling slightly better.
Iām grateful the check of the furnace exhaust went well, all values ok
Iām grateful I can nap today. I feel sleepy and get tired quite quick. Iām grateful I know thatās normal.
Iām grateful three furballs sleep around me as I sit on the sofa and drink tea with honey.
Iām grateful I started to do office work yesterday and will continue today.
Iām grateful I can come here multiple times a day. I feel a bit needy and unstable atm and coming here helps me. Let it begin with me. ODAAT

Iām grateful that I decided to add this thread to my daily morning routine, as I begin to reconstruct my life from the broken shambles it became from the last few years of cat-induced sleep deprivation. While itās possible this may sound over-exaggerated and unkind to my cat, I assure you it is notāher constant rotating needs really were that disruptive, and I do care about her dearly or I would not have been willing to spend that much time and energy on her.
I digressā¦ This thread has been a lovely addition to my early morning activities, taking a primary role right after feeding the afore mentioned kitty. I appreciate reading what others are grateful for, and this has also meant that as soon as I roll out of bed, I am considering what I am grateful for. Iām also grateful it has given me the motivation to return to this excellent forumāmade excellent primarily due to the caring efforts of the moderators and its active members. Iām grateful for those who make this place what it is, and that there is a place on the Internet that I see worth the time and effort to engage.
@erntedank It is wonderful that you had the option to have your appointment over the phone instead of making the trip personally, and that your therapist was willing to engage with you in that way.
@Butterflymoonwoman Iām grateful to see you here in this thread and it has been such a wonderful thing to see how many days you have under your belt. I remember your struggle before that and you have come so far. Your past is never a complete waste if you choose to use it as a learning tool to create a better tomorrow.
@Dazercat I hope you have a great trip and that you have a place you feel comfortable boarding your sweet fur-babies. It is kind of wild that it has been almost four years, isnāt it?! Yesā¦ the political environment at the time was genuinely toxic, and was the reason I stepped away from this forum for the first time. It was the best decision ever made to blacklist political content here. I also treasure our friendship and am grateful and so very happy to hear that our discussions were so useful to you.

Iām grateful for delicious pastries! Iām grateful for a fun time decorating the tree with my man last night. I always get him an ornament for in his stocking and I write a romantic love pun on it, and it was fun for him to read each of them and crack up while we did our decorating. And it even snowed a nice gentle snow while we did it! Iām grateful to break down the things I want to accomplish, and make a list. Iām grateful for action steps in my holiday present crafting plan! (Here I do an enthusiastic karate kick, and imagine myself knocking anxiety paralysis on its stupid butt!)

Tuesday morning gratitudeāsā¦
I am grateful for another day breathing with clean air and not wheezing when i walk stairs
I am so grateful for my dentist appointment. @dazercat Grateful that now a days they donāt have you put a nasty paste for you to clench on for your mouth guard. They now use a wand and do a inner scan. This is fairly quick process but a bit uncomfortable and at times painful if they canāt get a clear image. Said i had a small mouth LOL - and all this time i thought otherwise.
I am so grateful that instead of a mouth guard i ended up getting 2 splints (one for upper and one for lower). This is new treatment for TMJ. So grateful that i did not get a surgery back when they told me it would be a good treatment. Apparently the surgeries failed and caused more damage in the long run. The mouth splints are called Silent Night - @Passerina_cyanea maybe ask your dentist about this and see if it could help with your TMJ. It is supposed to help bring the bottom jaw forward and relieve the tension on the joints and create space where the cushion / cartilage is missing.
I am so grateful that i didnāt get too hurt with my sisters comments this weekend. She mentioned that of course i have made it this far sober cause i am sick and am not socializing so it is easier. At first i said yeah, and then i stood up for myself and said nah ā i am doing this sober thing and it is hard and i was always a alone drinker (social events were just a bonus) but i drank by myself to dull the pain and shut off my mind. So it is a huge deal and I am proud of myself. Grateful that she agreed and said she was portraying her trouble with not being able to quit
I am so grateful for my financial security. Grateful that these medical bills are no joke.
I am so grateful for my faith in my new treatment. Grateful that i had a bad dream where it seemed that i had given up and felt defeated ā it was just a dream and i feel like i need to work on my positivity with more force.
I am so grateful that i got to talk with my cousin from England today. Grateful that her lovely voice always makes me smile.
I am so grateful for my HP. Grateful for my meditation and prayer practices which help me feel positive and grounded. Grateful that the power of gratitude helps reroute the brain - routes it into happy and positive thoughts
I am so grateful for music and comedy. Grateful for deep breathing and massages. Grateful for being able to walk to keep me active.
I am so grateful for my connections here and my virtual friends. You guys are amazing. Thank you for being on this journey with me
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day. Sending you all so much love.
