Iām grateful yesterday was a good day and only because of my recoveries. if Iām not the problem, thereās no solution
Iām grateful for the movie we watched last night. Thanks again Franzi
Iām grateful I just looked up to see a big ol crow bending the top branch of the pine tree I can see poking out above the courtyard.
Iām grateful itās so quiet in my hood. Iām grateful you can always hear the bird song or caw caws Iām hearing now as Mr. Crow ā:black_large_square: buggers off.
Iām grateful I get to go to a meeting this morning and I get to take the coastal route if I leave a little earlier than I need to. Itās worth it.
Iām grateful Mr. Crow is back caw cawing up the place.
Iām grateful to report no snails this morning.
Iām grateful I found a nice ceramic pot for my San Pedro Cactus.
Iām grateful I only had 2 of Auntie Mās cookies last night

Iāve been quiet lately, and its the grief of losing my Mom keeping me quiet. Time to practice.
Iām grateful for black coffee and cartoon books. Today Iām reading Spy vs. Spy.
Iām grateful for my grief and Iām grateful for Rumiās poem The Guest House.
Iām grateful Iām quick to annoyance and anger lately, it reminds me that what I hold in needs to come out. It also reminds me where the work needs to go.
Iām grateful Iām practicing the phrase āI feel sadā. Iām not sure Iāve ever said that before but I do feel it, so I will.
Iām grateful for four great siblings. Iām grateful we donāt squabble over property or money. That would make all of this so much worse.
Iām grateful for a helpful husband. He isnāt perfect but he has known me long enough to step in and tackle the tasks Iām not asking for help with. That is a gift.
Iām grateful for movies. Tonight we will see The Wild Robot in the theater. I read the childrenās book so I know its about growing up and losing a parental figure. Iām grateful Iāll cry enough for a release but not enough to scare those around me.
Iām grateful to feel all of this. Alcohol numbs, feeling is a gift. Iām grateful for just today.
I am grateful to be working hard labor for 22 Saturdays. Itās getting me in better shape than Iāve been in for a while. Iām grateful that next Saturday isnāt supposed to be 103 degrees like yesterday was. Grateful that there are cooler temps in the forecast.
Grateful that my kids are here and healthy. Grateful for a spouse that holds me accountable.
I slept in, did my morning yoga, got on the rower. I am very grateful I learned how to work with my fluctuating energy levels. If I canāt do something I was able to do a few days ago, I just switch gears and try something else. Sometimes itās running, sometimes itās lying in bed, sometimes itās the rower. Very grateful for this new skill of acceptance.
Did my weekly review. Itās good to see some things coming to an end, others just developing and even others starting to germinate. I am grateful I am prepared for next week.
Went to my daughterās performance a second time. Yesterday was the premiere and today a matinee. I enjoyed both shows immensly. People of all ages dancing, enjoying moving their bodies to music in a choreography. It was splendid. Very grateful I got to experience that. Also very grateful my daughter has this opportunity and loves performing and dancing so much.
Spend the rest of the day just relaxing after all that excitement. Grateful I have the time for that.
Now the day is coming to an end. Iāll take it easy and go to bed grateful for this life and for this day.
good morning,
today I am grateful to be a lot more honest to myself. I am grateful for the nice run and conversation I had yesterday. I am grateful for the balance in my girlfirends life, I can learn alot from, and I am grateful to see that living more in the moment and less in urges, is maybe the best thing that can happen to me.
Grateful for sobriety
Grateful for work opportunity
Grateful for potato salad
Grateful to deal with son calmly
Grateful for jokes with daughter
Grateful to avoid rain shower on way home
Grateful for Noisy
Grateful for the loving reminders from Jehovah, helping me to move forward.
Grateful i weighted in this morning. I have alot of work to do. but iāve already proven i can drop 30 when i put my mind to it.
Grateful i put my PlayStation in the closet. Challenge: LEAVE IT THERE WILL THE WEEKEND. Allow your 7 to 8 hours of sleep.
Grateful for my inner Fight. I do not give up easily.
Grateful for my babies. They are amazing balls of joy. My son always tells me he looks up to me and wants to be like me. It touches my heart and scares me to death.
Iām grateful
Iām grateful I got a lot going on this week.
Currently a little apprehensive about things.
Iām grateful I told wifey Iāll bring the cat to the vet after my meeting yesterday and she did it without me. Mavy is sneezing Iām very uncomfortable with him being sick. Iām grateful we will do what it takes to get him back in this week if we have too. That and the crystals in his urine sample. Are making me feelā¦ā¦ā¦.
Iām grateful the others seem to be doing well. Iām grateful I can be very flexible and change up the feeding routine in the morning even if it will take me longer now. And all before coffee. Iām grateful there is no rush. And I actually, if this works, get to spend more time watching and waiting on 3 of them eat separately in 2 different spots. Iām grateful Iām not worried about the fourth one. B!
Iām grateful we have our big meeting tomorrow and family and people will be in town and there will be 12 of us for dinner tonight somewhere. Iām grateful I usually dread a big dinner like this with people I only see once a year. I still do but Iām grateful I know Iāll be all right and I wonāt drink. Iām grateful I might even brag about the fact itās been almost 5 years. Iām grateful, I guess, no one knew I had a drinking problem. I was that good at it. Iām grateful if other people in the party get drunk that is not a reflection on me.
Iām grateful I have an appointment with my old cardio guy this after the new one stiffed me 3 fucking times! Again apprehensive, I do hope he calls me at 3 today. I got a meeting with said people above at 4. Iām grateful all that shit is out of my control. Iām grateful I couldnāt control any of this shit even if I tried. Iām grateful itās much easier not to even try to control any of this shit.
Iām grateful for Mata Bhavani playing on my speakers this morning and the 2 crows way up high on the 2 tree tops I can see. Iām grateful for the birdsong I can hear as well.
Iām grateful I brought my hiking poles to the beach as I hiked down the steep bluffs to the ocean. Iām grateful the waves were the loudest ever and I was actually frightened a couple of times by the crashing sounds, as I was distracting myself by taking pics and videos. Iām grateful Minnie popped up to see me in the crashing waves and hung out for a while. Iām grateful I got a good video of her bobbing around in the waves.
Iām grateful for this gratitude practice. I actually had to force all this out. Not sure why. But I got it out here and I guess I can get my day going now.
Iām grateful yāall are here and Iāll just have to get caught up later.
Letting go of someone elseās journey is the most freeing experience we can have today.And itās by far the best gift we can offer someone, too.
Let Go Now
I am grateful knowing that even bad things are not permanent in most cases.
I am alive.
I am breathing.
Three months later, unemployment is still working on getting my money available. I will work on handling it like I did in the beginning. Anger does not help most things - anything.
Grateful that I ate a piece of toast, PB and butter, and a banana.
I am grateful that today, time or not, I will go back and seek answers to smell and taste recovery actions, aromatherapy and food supplementation.
Grateful that I will get things done in a house I have never allowed to get messy. I am grateful for the difference it makes in my ability to move about emotionally.
Just so you know, I am grateful that you have Benson. We have a suburb named that and for whatever reason I cannot remember it. I have always loved that place and I can feed my memory by sayingā¦āWhatās that dogās name?ā
I am grateful to be sober.
More glad than grateful today I think.
I am glad my colleague brought uncountable number of pears in the office. I can bath in pears.
I am glad the sun came out in the afternoon.
I am glad I walked today.
I am glad the balancing board thing I bought for my standing desk makes standing much better.
I am grateful I have enough.
I am grateful I managed to get up early and send my daughter away.
Grateful I was able to work and finish a part of my work.
Grateful I have meds for my daughters migraines.
Grateful she is old enough to understand her condition and used to it in order to do some self care herself.
Grateful for the wonderful teachers my daughter has.
Grateful for the other parents that came to todayās meeting.
Grateful I know whatever bothers me will pass, like everything, no matter if itās pleasure or discomfort.
Grateful for this life.
Grateful for this day.
Having a tough day after a reset, and I canāt seem to sustain any happiness today.
Time to remind myself I am grateful for:
-My daughterās health and happiness
-my dreamy home and my ability to pay bills
-my wife who is constantly putting my daughter before herself, and always working to make sure she has everything my daughter needs
-my health (as far as Iām aware!)
-the fact that I have a comfortable bed that I can hopefully get a decent sleep in tonight.
