I am grateful it’s Spring. Even though there was a huge frost this morning and it’s COLD. Warmer days are ahead.
I am grateful for a warm house and car this morning.
I am grateful my husband didn’t drink last night, that’s a big one.
I am grateful for my health.
I am grateful for another day to be a better version of myself than yesterday. Spring, rebirth, new and exciting things ahead.

I’m grateful that I somehow accidently turned on my old 6am Zelda feeding alarm as it woke me from a rather unpleasant dream. But now I am awake. I forsee a small morning nap in my future.
@Naomi happy birthday!

I am grateful I could write my (not so grateful) thoughts down yesterday in the check-in thread. I am grateful for the comforting replies and also for the sweet birthday wishes.
I am grateful I can talk about the past with a close friend who’s an ex-JW activist. He also keeps me posted on what happens in that cult. Sometimes I don’t want to know, but I can’t help it. My family is trapped and I want to know what the church is teaching them.
I know about 20 ex-JW’s and only three of them are, as far as I know, pretty ‘normal’. The rest is fucked up. I am grateful I didn’t go to a point of no return.
I am grateful my parents and sister still want to see me, that’s not something to take for granted. My brothers, also ex-JW, totally cut off my JW family and me included because I still talk to my family. I am grateful I finally made peace with their decision.
I am grateful I’m sober, as I would get emotional and argumentative about this shit if I’d drink. I am grateful my son grew up without religious dogma. I am grateful I got out of the spell.
I am grateful I’m feeling physically slightly better. I am grateful for sunshine during our morning walk and during the false fire alarm this afternoon. I am grateful I worked yesterday, so today only half a day of work.

I’m grateful we made it to Cali yesterday and we both 
love the house. I’m grateful we got a shit ton of work to do in the next few hundred ODAATs to make this our forever home. Forever is not going to be long this time 
I’m grateful we can treat it like our last home and fix it up the way we want without ever having to worry about resale. I’m grateful I’m done! I’m grateful this is my fucking opus!
I’m grateful maybe, just maybe, finally, I’ve come to acceptance. I’m grateful I can let go of hope in other people and get back to myself. Hope in myself. I’m grateful all my worrying about who I would be traveling with yesterday, sober wife or drinking too much wife was for not. Of course she drank too much. I’m grateful that’s what alcoholics do. I’m grateful maybe I can finally accept that fact. I’m grateful I can try and not let Lucy pull that football out from underneath me anymore if I just accept the fact she has a disease, and just know. She’s gonna drink 
It’s what alcoholics do. I’m grateful I’m safe. I’m grateful I love my wife with this disease. I’m grateful I get to work on loving her more 
I’m grateful in my mind this is the only option.
I’m grateful for this beautiful life. I’m grateful for this next new adventure in my life.
I’m grateful I get another day to turn my will and my life and my wife’s life over to the care of god. I’m grateful for my courage to keep moving forward. I’m grateful for both my recoveries without them I’d be a drunken bum.
Grateful for y’all.
Grateful for all the rain in Cali as it looks beautiful and so green out here now. Grateful my house is dry on the inside. I’m grateful all that weather, rain, gave it a great test before the inspections.

Can’t wait to see the pics of your new garden. You’ve got cacti (or is it cactuses?) at the new casa?
@Steve14 how cool is it to still function after short nights right? Those mornings are a walk in the park in comparison to the hungover days of the past.

I’ve had a near brush with losing all I own to a fire, so I can sympathize greatly. Hang in there. While difficult now, this will pass and become a memory soon enough.

@erntedank I am so grateful for the lovely sprouts and haul you’ve gotten so far – looking great friend. I have always wanted to start sprouting in doors and be ahead when spring hits but alas not this year. What a surprise to be producing something different than the seeds you think you planted 
@chiron thank you friend. I am sorry that you have had to deal with a fire in the past – definitely very scary stuff. I do hope you were able to get in a restful nap today.
Tuesday afternoon gratefulness

I am so grateful that my brother is coming around and it almost feels like old times.
I am so grateful that my brother is available now (since we can’t open the restaurant till DTE does its investigation) so that he can take my mom to her follow up appointment tomorrow. I really wanted someone to go with her to take notes and gather all the information from her surgeon. Hoping to weigh out the options for radiation.

I woke up pretty ok this morning, no headache, no heartache. That I am grateful for.
I am grateful my morning was productive, but I also managed to take my breaks, connect, be in my body, listen to it, surrender to the present moment. I am very proud of myself here 
I am grateful I kept my food journal, I am grateful my relationship with it has changed: from a hassle and something that would take the fun out of eating, to a very useful tool that makes me comfortable around food. I am grateful I was mindful through my meals and thus enjoyed them far more than otherwise.
I am grateful for class, and also for easter break coming next week. I am grateful for the nice weather and me enjoying the sun today. I am grateful for a good yoga class, and also for feeling my limits and cutting it short when I felt tired.
I am grateful for moving forward emotionally and letting go of a marriage that can not survive like that.
I am grateful for being tired and bedtime approaching soon
