I am grateful for the video call with a friend today. We differ a lot. He is the spiritual kind, doing ayahuasca and shit, a free spirit, covered in tattoos and trinklets. I am as non-spiritual as they come. But somehow we connected a few years ago and stayed in touch. He is one of the most interesting persons I know and I am grateful for our friendship.

I am grateful for life. The movie Wit I saw yesterday made me really think about life and death. Life is so freaking precious and I am so grateful to be alive. To be on this planet, watch sunsets, look in my dogs beautiful eyes, travel and experience this immens love I have for my son. Against all odds I am the one who’s been born. I am the one that gets to experience all of this. And it’s not about the number of days we have on this planet, but with what and whom we fill them with. Quality over quantity. I am grateful for life.

I am grateful for the well wishes and speedy recovery wishes on here.

I am half way through the 4th course of antibiotics for this year, and I am grateful that today I actually felt slightly better than I did the past two weeks.

I am grateful I got to do my volunteer role again this evening. I am grateful I got offered the manager position there. I am trying to be grateful that I accepted. It’ll be so much to learn. So many training sessions. So much anxiety about new things. I am not good with new things. I am struggling with my confidence… but I am grateful that I know and recognise those things and that I am willing to step out of my comfort zone and put the work in.

Every word right here… SAME… but you’ve got this. We can do hard things when we put our mind to them…. And once we do, it becomes the new normal and not just “new”. I hate change, but someone once told me that if things didn’t change we’d be stuck in the past with no movement or acceptance of others… and it stuck with me a little

Edit: oh!!! And congrats on the management position lol I should have started there

I am grateful for this thread that reminds me that there is always something, at least one thing, to be grateful for. ODAAT my friends. Happy weekend :shamrock::four_leaf_clover::green_heart:

Happy Friday, all, I’m glad to be here, grateful for all you fine folks here at TS!
I’m grateful for another sunny day. The crows are cackling up a storm outside.
I’m grateful for my cats, my furry little quirky loved ones.
I’m grateful for a particular friend who is always so gracious and supportive when I need to vent.
I’m grateful I have an alternative bed to sleep in, even though when I do, the cats wake me at dawn to feed them, but I can just go back to sleep after so I guess it’s a split shift.
I’m grateful for the peace and quiet of this morning.

I’m grateful for another day to try and turn my will and my life over to the care of god.

I’m grateful for another day to try and have the courage to accept the things I cannot change.

I’m grateful for my 2 meetings on Thursday. Al-Anon am AA pm.

I’m grateful we got a few boxes shipped to our new home.

I’m grateful for the clouds and chance of rain and my view.

I’m grateful to be able to deal with the stress and turmoil and uncertainty in my life without hitting the bottle. I’m grateful I’m using different tools like going to meetings, meditation, prayer, naps, walks, and doing the best I can. And letting go of things that really aren’t important. I’m grateful I’m getting pretty good at not forcing my will.

I’m grateful I got a pic of Benson eating and Alice drinking together. I’m grateful it was funny because he was scared to eat next to the cat drinking water.

I’m grateful for Daisy first thing in the morning and Mavy greeting me at my sink every morning when I wash my face.

I’m grateful with all the stress I’m feeling in my life drinking is not an option. I’m grateful to make sure of that, I can go to meetings.

I’m grateful to share my feelings here.
:pray:t2::heart:

I go to Al-Anon (and AA) to get rid of self-pity and resentment, not to increase their power to destroy me. I go to learn how others have dealt with their problems, so I can apply this wisdom to my own life.
ODAAT in Al-Anon
Edit to add (and AA)

I am grateful to get a sponsor. First request from her was she wants to see my gratitude journal every day. I felt it was important before she came into my life and more assured now.

Grateful for husband home for weekend and tackling to do list (short really).

Grateful God is working on both hubby and myself.:heart_eyes:. To be better together and better people.

Today I’m grateful the day is over. I’m grateful all went well, I checked in and shared my feelings on the friday thread and the FRO thread.
I’m grateful my codependency was bearable. I’m grateful every worry was gone when I burnt my mouth on the hot cheese on my pizza. I’m grateful for pizza. I’m grateful the house becomes more cozy every day. I’m grateful for the many little and not so little tasks I accomplish daily, they add up :pray: I’m grateful I love to live at the farm. I’m grateful I’m tired and go to sleep now. ODAAT

Grateful to write here with a new scented candle next to my bed.
Grateful to be tired from a good day. Helped my parents out with computer stuff and their doctor’s appointments. Grateful for the nice lasagna my sister made us.

I am sad to see my parents being sick, but I’m grateful it brings us closer and I am grateful I can be there for them. I am grateful I made the decision to bury my resentment about the past, I stopped blaming my parents for everything that happened. I now see them as victims of the church too. I am grateful I am able to look forward again.

Grateful for a nearly empty highway on the way back home tonight.
