@Naomi welcome to the thread.
@JazzyS Glad to hear youāre making it past the need for coffee! Also, probably the best choice deciding to cut off your possible tenant. I used to own rental property, and that there is a lot of red flags!

Wednesday morning gratitudeās
I am so grateful for getting some sleep last night. Enough to have me energized to get up on time this morning. Grateful that i got to spend time with my mom before heading into work.
I am so grateful that i was able to help out for half a day at the restaurant. I am so grateful for my super hero father. He really has stepped it up while my mom and brother are recovering.
I am so grateful that next week we will only have to deal with the deliveries as the restaurant will be closed and we do not have any hospital cafe shifts.
I am so grateful that i am home now and in bed. Able to rest and deal with my symptoms. Grateful that nothing got in the way of me being helpful today.
I am so grateful that i have my treatment tomorrow late afternoon. Actually looking forward to it.
I am so grateful that i just realized that my 1 year soberversary will fall on the Winter Solstice.
I am so grateful that I am holding my own and not having any milestone anxiety. Hard to believe the condition i was in last year at this time. How far i have come yet it almost feels like it wasnāt that long ago.
I am so grateful for my new water dental flosser pick. Really feel like it helps keep my mouth clean.
I am so grateful for my meditation and prayer practices. Grateful for the sanity they provide and how the practice helps ground and center me.
I am so grateful for my family. Grateful that my sister reminded me that we have other 2nd cousins that would feel left out if they did not receive letters so now we are hand writing a few more letters and hoping they arrive before the end of the year. I do remember the excitement of receiving a hand written letter when i was younger - hope they have the same joy.
I am so grateful for TS community and counter app.
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day. Sending you all so much love
Iām grateful I managed to get out of bed and do my morning routine with yoga and meditation instead of wailing in more self pity. It did me good, lifted my mood, made me refocus.
Iām grateful for the trip I took with my daughter. We spent some really nice mother daughter time.
Iām grateful for the nice walk. The lights in the city were so nice.
Iām grateful for realising that nothing will make my awful hormone induced mood go away, and I might as well keep putting one foot in front of the other.
Iām grateful for my understanding husband.
I know the both AFās, but didnāt know the combination. Never too old to learn
