Iām grateful gratitude, for me, isnāt something I just write down. The part of writing down comes after a feeling of pure gratitude. I wasnāt always this grateful. But grateful I am now. Itās life changing.
I woke up just now with a flood of feelings of gratitude, it feels so good and I just wanted to share that with you all.
Iām grateful I feel the gratitude then can write it down if I feel too but I live with so much gratitude and it feels ā¦ Wellā¦ It feels amazing! Itās more than words for me.
Yes Iām ok, just dealing with a headache for multiple weeks now and bad sleep. That has a toll on my mood as well.
Try to tick some boxes to find out why my head hurts. Got my eyesight checked, but they are fine.
Ok, Iām grateful to have seen all of my 3 kids yesterday. They look happy and joyful and that lifted my mood.
Still having one kid at home but he is active in looking for his own place. Heās considering in doing an offer on a appartment he saw yesterday. Grateful he is still around though, but also grateful he is strong enough for flying out of the nest
I am grateful I cancelled my office meeting so I can work from home.
I am grateful for the sleeping doggo next to me. I can feel the warmth of his body and his calm breathing against my side. I love looking at him, being completely relaxed and without a care in the world.
I am grateful for getting back to relatively healthy cooking and eating. I am grateful I have a supermarket right across my appartment building, so no need to order junk or expensive food.
There are still two bottles of my sonās Moet in the kitchen from new years eve, but I am grateful I donāt care about them (never cared much for champagne tbh). Grateful I have no cravings at all. Grateful Iām sober.
I am grateful I started writing here, as I didnāt feel like it this morning (no energy, nervous, grumpy). Itās like going to the gym or for a walk, I donāt always feel like going but Iām always happy when I did.
I am grateful for @I.cant.We.can and @M-be-free49 sharing their numbers, itās so inspirational to see people hitting milestones! It strengthens me in the thought I can get there too if I stay focussed and put in the work. Thanks and congratulations to you both!
Oh that sucks. Nothing worse then an on going headache!! You poor thing! Was going to suggest eye sight test but youāve done that! Are you drinking enough during the day? Would it be worth seeing your Doctor?
Drinking enough, resting enough and hate seeying a doctor
I have lotās of headaches all of my life and used to have migraines as well. But the migraines stopped since menopause.
I do not take any painkillers so itās not a side effect of using them too much
Stopped all the supplements I am normally taking and focus on healthy food no sugar.
If that wonāt help I will dragg myself to the doctor, I promiss

Grateful college shut because of the snow.
Grateful for my fireplace.

I am grateful for the learning curve to accept life as it is presented to me
Iām grateful I can peck away at my gratitude with Mavy stretched out on my lap and my right hand is free. My arm not so much. Grateful I have my iPad. Iām grateful heās so warm. Iām grateful Iāll take him over the last half of my coffee. Iām sure itās cold anyway. Iām grateful how heās stretched out with his front paws reaching up to my face but not quite reaching. Iām grateful for the peaceful look on his face. And his smile. Grateful for his warmth on my lap. Iām grateful it must be 7 as the waterfall has come on. Iām grateful the fire is going in the fireplace. Iām grateful it turns on with a wall switch. Iām grateful Benson and Alice are in their wrong beds under the fireplace. Iām grateful Daisy is on the floor by my feel. Iām grateful Beatrix and wifey are still in bed. Grateful for my living room view. Iām grateful to be so blessed with so much. Iām grateful I donāt care why as much anymore or that I donāt deserve it. Why not and maybe I do. Who the fuck knows (Ka-Ching )
Iām grateful I drove into Phoenix to go to the Wednesday Al-Anon meeting yesterday because I wanted to. I only been twice because I āneeded,ā to. Iām grateful I met. Kinda met, like you do at meetings, an 89 year old new kid to Al-Anon. Fuck me again! I guess you are never too old for recovery. You go girl!!
Iām grateful Iām free!! to move around the cabin to reheat my coffee but Iāll finish up here first.
Iām grateful for a lovely night out with my SIL and my 2 nieces from Austin. Theyāre so cool. We never see family and no one ever visits us. Fact. Not poor me or anything.
Iām grateful this big fella is appreciated so much on here. Iām grateful most days I canāt wait to get on here and I donāt know if itās you people or the gratitude. Iām grateful I feel so comforted sharing with yāall and reading what you all got to say. Iām grateful I got that feeling back where I canāt wait to put thisā¦. Or thatā¦. Or thisā¦.on my gratitude list here and while Iām actively writing my list I cannot remember at all what those things were.
Previous research has shown that grateful feelings enable people to savor positive experiences, cope with stress, and strengthen social relationships. A disposition toward gratitude is also associated with higher levels of subjective well-being, demonstrating that counting oneās blessings can increase positive emotions and health.

Grateful to wake up next to my son
Grateful I see my mum and sister tomorrow
Grateful for my morning coffee
Grateful a co worker helped me out yesterday
Grateful for another 24
@tn2ky So grateful that you and your animals are safe. Grateful you did find temporary housing. So sorry for your crazy scary experience. @m-be-free49 WOW I loved your post today and so true āwhat you focus on expandsā dang ā I need to rethink my thinking and reroute my focus. I tend to overthink somethings that can have negative undertones and they do not need to take up any more space in my head. Great work on 19 months! This is incredible work! @soberwalker I am sorry Claudia ā dealing with similar stuff with headaches and my migraines have subsided a lot but still show up every once in a while. My head scan and eye tests came back good so now I am supposed to see neurology but at $1000 for first visit I am going to hold off. Going to keep eating healthy and hope it works itself out. Sending you hugs in empathy. @dazercat you are very much appreciated and loved my friend. grateful to have you here sharing your journey with us
Thursday morning gratefulness
I am so grateful to be alive. Grateful that i am filled with emotion (not all happy) but at least it means i am feeling. I am grateful to realize that sad emotions are not bad just means that my body is working through something.
I am so grateful that my head MRI results arrived this morning. Grateful that everything is normal. A bittersweet result as i still donāt know what is causing my headaches and dizziness but at least the brain is ok.
I am so grateful that i got to spend time with my mom this morning. She again is trying to take care of everyone (including me) and i had to put a stop to it. I have been shopping and cooking for myself and making sure i am getting all the nutrition i need. She has her own surgery to worry about and i donāt need her focusing on me. I am grateful that we both want to help each other out and one way to do it is to just concentrate on ourselves.
I am so grateful for a beautiful sunny day - its going to hit 56 degrees today I havenāt worn a jacket in a week and it feels so great. Just have to be careful as it will drop 30 degrees in two days. Gotta love winter.
I am so grateful that i have my dental appointment today. Hopefully they can figure out what happened with my new mouth splint. It really has been tough not being able to use it for the past few nights.
I am so grateful for my ability to move without assistance. Grateful for slow healing - at least i am healing.
I am so grateful for my Coffee!
I am so grateful for my indoor shoes. Grateful for the padding and cushion. Appreciate all the comfort they provide.
I am so grateful to have gotten a lot of baking and cleaning accomplished yesterday. Grateful to hopefully finish up with the baking today - will go at my pace.
I am so grateful that my sister is coming to visit Saturday night.
Grateful for all of you here - grateful for all the amazing milestones. Grateful for another day of sobriety!
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day! Sending you all so much love
Iām grateful for how the Internet has made music from around the world. Music is one of the most important things in my life and has gotten me through a lot in my lifeānot only from listening but also creating. The human voice is one of my favorite instruments, and it is really something special to get to hear it played through so many unique and beautiful languages.
Grateful for my job. Genuinely enjoy coming to work and spending time with my crew. Especially now that Iām not hungover everyday
Grateful to have family close by that can help look after the kids when both my partner and I are on shift.
Grateful for another day hangover free and sober
Again too much to catch up.
Today Iām grateful the day is over. Doctor appointment went well. Iām grateful I treated myself to sandwiches and orange juice downtown. Iām grateful for the nice little walk I took.
Iām grateful I listened to my needs and rested in the afternoon. Iām sorry I had to text two pals that Iāll call back another day. Iām grateful I donāt force myself anymore.
In the evening my heart sunk as I got notice from my lawyer that the ex has changed lawyers.Iām grateful I looked them up and know what to await: even more bullshit. It will never end. Iām grateful I go to bed sober and catfood is on the way. We are pretty low on stock. Iām grateful I will help a friend tomorrow allthough I really only want to stay at home and hide from the world. It will help both of us ODAAT
through trying times this shall be the lens I try to look through.
