It’s Saturday morning and it is June 1!!! June is my favorite month… the school year ends this week and my summer break is truly just a few days away now.

I’m grateful to be sober and healthy.

I’m grateful for the progress we are making in the settling of my mother in law’s estate. Big steps happened in the last week.

I’m grateful to my husband. Just over two years ago he decided to stop drinking. He took on a huge project of restoring the entire exterior of our 134 year old house. He has been relentlessly working on this, all by himself. He has researched and tried out different approaches. He has been careful on the ladders and the scaffolding. He has managed all this while working in a school and being part of the family. Last night he announced it is done. And it is amazing!

This is our cozy home with peace and happiness.

I’m grateful for a good sleep last night and feeling rested and clear minded today. I’m grateful for laughter and stories. I’m grateful for neighbors who understand me and are there to help out when I need it. I’m grateful for my friend S who is there for me and supportive. I’m so grateful that she can come on this trip with me. I’m grateful that I’m less anxious for the work trip today- I feel I’ve prepared well and I can feel my work brain turning on. I’m grateful for my Uzbek family and how understanding and hospitable they are and that they can soon meet part of my Kyrgyz family. I’m grateful that even though I have no biological family that I have friends who have adopted me into their families and treat me as part of their own. I’m grateful for homemade feta and Greek food for dinner. So tasty😋 I’m grateful that today has been a good day. I’m grateful to be alive and to feel alive. I’m grateful to be sober and doing what I need to stay that way.

I’m grateful I’m all catted up :heart_eyes_cat:
I’m grateful I was able to get to sleep last night when I did.
I’m grateful for first things first.
I’m grateful as my mind was planning what I’m going to do tomorrow because I need a meeting. I thought first things first. I need sleep. I’m grateful I started some deep breathing exercises in bed. And chanted to myself “Om Mani Padme Hum,”

I’m grateful I’ve actually been bringing up this Mantra a lot lately. I’m grateful I’m using it in the morning with my coffee. I’m grateful I’m using it on my walks with Benson. I’m grateful I’m not plugged in and listening to it anymore. I’m grateful I’m just doing it naturally now :pray:t2:

I’m grateful I can hear Alice purring away in her new heated tent across the room. I’m grateful I stopped to take a pic of the birdsong last night. There were 2 of them.

I’m grateful the workout room/office furniture and shelves look good. I’m grateful I can put some shit on those shelves. Even though I move a lot I still got too much shit.

I’m grateful the plumbers I had over yesterday were real professional and too thorough. I’m grateful the HVAC guys are done and the plumbers come next week.

I’m grateful during all this we managed to get some Gus time again yesterday afternoon.

I’m so fucking grateful we got an offer on our house in Scottsdale :crossed_fingers::pray:t2: one last thing to do.

I’m grateful for you all.
I’m grateful it’s impossible to get caught up on here for me. And I’m grateful you all are here for me.

Courage To Change

Today’s Reminder I have the right to choose my own standards of conduct, but I do not have the right or the power to impose those standards on others.

“I have accepted myself and I’m beginning to accept other people the way they are each day. Now I have fewer resentments.”

Grateful for:

  • Day 155 and the daily quotes that come up on this app.
  • Depression means ample emotion. I am grateful for strong emotions - regardless of which rollercoaster they are on.
  • I am worth more than I tell myself stories about AND recognize that little tidbit is 8 months new.
  • My body is healthy.
  • My ex is supplying things to my kiddos and I should respect and be grateful, regardless of reasons.
  • Reading and that I start doing it like I used to. I like to read.
  • Music and that I start listening to it again. It’s odd that I haven’t listened to a song and I presume it has its place because of accident day.

**Not certain I ever want to remember that day. I remember nothing and I mean not of that entire day, nor at least 21 days after.

And grateful for the purpose of surviving and that soon I will know what that is.
