I did some exhausting things twice today - lifting heavy planter pots and holding strong yoga poses - and every time I got a kind of anxiety thing going after that. I am grateful I knew it was nothing threatening and that it passed. I blame hormones.
I am grateful I had the time and energy and good weather to do some gardening on my balcony, preparing for new seeds this spring.
I am grateful for the nice long phone chat I had with a friend.
I am grateful for a great tarot card reading I did for my spring equinox celebration. I love tarot cards, they always help me sort out difficult stuff in my life through imagery and symbolism. I am grateful I discovered tarot a few years ago and have this tool to access the non-linear-logical parts of myself.
I am grateful for a good yoga practice, great food, keeping my peace.
I am grateful I kept working my recovery program today.
I am grateful I have a nice chill evening to look forward to.
Sleep tight friends :night_with_stars:

I am grateful for having ramen noodle soup for a belated BD diner. I like no frills restaurants, just good food, with good company in the form of my son.

I am grateful the first day nicotine free was pretty easy. I did prepare myself for quiting for some weeks and I’m really ready for it. I threw the last couple of nic gums away.

I am grateful for a relaxed day, some working, some chores, some walking…
Grateful for another relaxed day tomorrow. Rinse and repeat.

I also like ramen but have never been to a ramen restaurant. They have a couple in the area so I may just need to take the leap haha.

I’m grateful I can browse TS from the comfort of my warm bed for just a little longer before I need to get up for today’s daily work. Being able to set most of my own schedule is a luxury I don’t take for granted.

I’m grateful to be back in my desert home with my wife and pets and coffee and ice pack and beautiful view. I’m grateful for my adventurous life when it comes to moving. I’m grateful my wife and I are the best “A Team” I could ever dream of. I’m grateful I know my wife has my back :100:

I’m grateful for another day to try and turn my will over to the care of my hp. I’m grateful to try and seek serenity during the day and accept the things I cannot change and use my courage to continue to better myself. And ONLY MYSELF. I’m grateful for another day to try and put judgement aside and not let that stinker ruin my serenity as judgement usually does.

I’m grateful for the tool of being able to think people are doing the best they can. Thanks Brené Brown. I’m grateful to try and remember I cannot possibly know what’s going on in everyone’s world and why they do the things they do. I’m grateful I can do my best too. I’m grateful I can only do my best if I don’t pick up and when I don’t judge people. Or try to control people. Or try to fix them………

I’m grateful to try and get caught up here on the home thread. I’m grateful I missed you guys. I’m grateful if I don’t get caught up. It’s ok.

I am grateful I woke up today and felt relief that I have the strength and that I want to be sober. I’m grateful that makes it a little easier.

Grateful for a quiet night at work last night
Grateful for a day off with no kids before tonight’s shift
Grateful I got to do a survey last night that I was able to check off non-drinker and zero per week for some of the questions. Its was a follow up survey as part of a study attached to my work. Its anonymous and run by a university trying to help our mental wellbeing and track symptoms and instances of depression and ptsd, and ways to mitigate them. The previous survey I was very honest about my alcohol consumption and I remember some of my answers to the wellbeing questions. Grateful that last nights survey will show a marked improvement all around.
