I am grateful for NHS 111 - big style!!!
I am grateful they chased up some lab results that actually showed antibiotic resistance to the antibiotics I’ve been taking three courses since January. I am grateful there are different antibiotics available and I got a prescription for the next seven days.
I am grateful I could stay in bed most of the day. I am grateful for leftover food and my microwave. I am grateful I can leave the kitchen in a state of total disarray and no one gives a f#@&. I am grateful for over-the-counter painkillers. I am grateful the only two entries in my diary for the next two days are a massage and lunch with a friend. I’m sure I can manage these two. I might feel like shit, but I can still eat! Grateful for my taste, I had lost it completely with one of my many covid infections, so I know how awful it is without.
Grateful I can push the pause button on my life for a few days and just take all my energy to recover.
You cracked me up @tailee17 I laughed harder than I should. I’m grateful others laughed too @JazzyS
Today I’m grateful I called it a day early. The weather is depressing, the wood fired stove is warming the room, the cats sleep, it’s grey and rainy outside. I’m grateful the old boy and me found our comfy spot together on the couch. I lay down, he gets to lay down on me a minute later. I’m grateful that trying new spots and positions to get comfy on this big couch never gets old. I’m grateful I decided to move back to the farm last september. I’m grateful this house has a peaceful aura. I’m grateful I have the energy and mojo to work around the house every day. I’m grateful I did chores and office work today, cooked a healthy meal and baked a not so healthy but delicious yoghurt cake again.
I’m grateful I’m patient with the PC. This thing needs 3 h of restarts and updates when it has been off for more than a week. I’m grateful I have time to care about it, it’s necessary.
I’m grateful I won 2 tickets for The Little Prince on sunday. I’m grateful a dear friend will accompany me, I miss our in person meetings. Calling just isn’t the same.
I’m grateful I glued carpet tiles on the racks Schimanski uses as pathways to climb up on top of the bookshelves. He doesn’t slide anymore and I don’t worry.
I’m grateful for tea, comfy cloths, nice chats, a roof over my head, a hot shower, fresh laundry, a full fridge, special diet catfood. I’m grateful I have more than enough. I’m grateful I listen to the vibes of my inner boundaries. I’m grateful I get more organized. I’m grateful for little changes, they add up too. I’m grateful I’m kind and gentle to myself. Today was partly kind of a nervous day, I’m grateful I got myself balanced.
I’m grateful I’m tired and will hit the pillow soon. ODAAT
I am grateful I decided to actually get up after waking at 5am instead of uselessly tossing and turning. This way I had lots of time this morning for work and self care. I am grateful for that.
I am grateful I have nice rain gear and can walk to school and arrive dry and happy.
I am grateful for the kid‘s enthusiasm today.
I am grateful I managed to stay mindful with eating and my feelings.
I am grateful yoga helped me through some really intense emotions.
I am grateful for a nap.
I am grateful I‘m having an evening to myself.
I am grateful my day is done.
I’m grateful that when my mother tells me what a cold hearted person I am, that I know it is code for, “I’m upset that you have grown and healed as a person to such an extent that I can’t emotionally manipulate you into doing what I want”, and that I can just smile and tell her she’s probably right before moving the conversation on to something else.
@Naomi I’m glad you went out and didnt worry about how fun you were seen as by others.
I’m grateful for TS, and for my sobriety.
I’m,grateful for the lovely weather today.
I’m grateful I did a house chore I’d been putting off for way too long. Ticked it off the list. Felt good.
I’m grateful I got in a nice bike ride on the local trail.
Im grateful I got a little start on spring clean up around perennial borders too.
I’m grateful tomorrow is supposed to be another warm sunny day. Looking forward to doing some work on the landscape.
Grateful to hear the sandhill cranes again, and the red winged blackbirds and the robins.
I am grateful the workmen outside (or rather my dog reacting to them) woke me up at 6 am. I’m up and that’s good, now I have some time to spend here before work.
I am grateful for my home office and zero external meetings this week.
I am grateful for an interesting conversation about (peri)menopause last weekend, I learned alot.
I am grateful for 100 days sober today. Next week I’ll be 45, with a sober body and mind. Looking forward to sober lunch birthday dates. Since I’m sober I prefer lunch over diner and I prefer food and quality time with friends over presents, so that’s a win-win.
Suddenly I feel a bit old, but I’m grateful I am alive. I love the idea of being born to be a probability of 1 in 400 trillion. We won the lottery friends.
I am grateful for change.
I am grateful for hope.

I’m grateful for another day to try and decide to turn my will and my life over to the care of god.
I’m grateful for another day to try and accept the things I cannot change. I’m grateful for the courage I have to change the things I can. I’m grateful for another day trying to find the wisdom to know the difference. I’m grateful for the courage and love, I have, to do this.
I’m grateful when I sit down with my coffee Alice always gets out of her heated bed by the fireplace to come see me. I’m grateful we just spend time together. I’m grateful Alice has already lived in 10 different houses with us and pray she’s got one more in her. I’m grateful Alice is a trooper. I’m grateful Alice has no front claws, and when she tamps on my neck in bed before sleep it is the coolest feeling in the world. I’m grateful Alice can’t hear me when I have a sneeze attack when she’s sitting on my lap. I’m grateful when Daisy and Maverick tamp on my face or neck or bare chest they are very gentle and they retract their claws so they don’t hurt me. I’m grateful when Benson doesn’t bark during these times because those 2 can hear.
I’m grateful for all the shit I got done and errands and appointments and meetings yesterday. I’m grateful for the wonderful family visit we had and grateful it’s over and we can concentrate on the next big life changes ODAAT or one thing at a time.
I’m grateful the termite treatment and repairs have already been done at the new home and it was very minor and now I can hire someone to monitor it and treat it before it gets out of hand. I’m grateful we finally got insurance on the Cali house. I’m grateful we will wait patiently to see if the state will accept our application for fire insurance. I’m grateful that’s definitely something I cannot control so what’s the fucking point in worrying about. I’m grateful I was able to get the same pool guy and landscaping guy to continue maintaining the work they do on those things while we are not there.
I’m grateful for the Serenity Pray and all the work I’ve done on it as I’m leading another meeting tonight and it’s gonna be the serenity prayer again. Sorry. Not sorry if you were at the Sunday meeting. I’m grateful I cannot get enough knowledge on the Serenity Prayer.
I’m grateful for another day to not take step 3 and the Serenity prayer for granted. And to try and actively work it into my life.
I’m grateful for gratitude. Writing mine. Reading yours. And living ours
As I surrender my imaginary power over others, I gained a more realistic view of my own life.
Courage To Change
November 29

Grateful for kids that don’t let too much get to them, grateful they have empathy to see how another kid treats them may be because of a struggle that kid has. But also grateful that they enjoy combat sports so if they need to can fight back
