Ah love …a big step in the right direction and I’m sure many emotions will be released as you close out this chapter. You are a strong woman! Allow yourself to feel all the feelings and heal properly. All your feelings are valid.
Here if you need to talk it out. Definitely sending love and loads of hugs 
. Tomorrow indeed is another day 
This is so hard to do today. That’s why I gotta do it. I can be grateful for sadness. When it passes I feel a lot better than before it showed up. I’m not used to everything being so real, sometimes. I mean it’s right there in your face all the time. Whatever it is. Sometimes there are these monster things you can’t control and can’t numb out. No anesthesia! It will pass. Life is nothing like it felt today.
For being sober because that sets me up for success. Peace and calm will return.
For the resources to take another trip to the mountains in 2 weeks. Quaking aspens and pine trees. Snow is starting in the higher elevations. I won’t let the sadness of the past overcome me. It made an appearance now it’s time to let it go. Might get snowshoes. Snowshoes fix everything.
For the people who have stayed with me. I’m really grateful for them.
For new opportunities that I don’t even know about yet. You kind of get to unlock a new level if you keep playing Sober. This new thing comes along, something you hadn’t thought of. I’ve had one and now I’m a volunteer police recruit 
. Thinking of starting a business, and I might do a bit of contract work. I really need to keep my chin up! Who knows what else will pop up.
For ever loving Fall that isn’t here yet! One week. And it will be fantastic 
I haven’t been into it with July temps. I need to start shopping. Rumor has it deer eat chrysanthemums. Those effing deer…haha. And pumpkins. I’ll have to get a zombie 
For you. Thank you for holding me up

Yeah to “tomorrow is another day” and thank you all for your hugs, being there and that we help each other by sharing 
I’m grateful
I’m grateful I feel more stable today, allthough all the stuff going on & around me in my life changes everything that’s not 100% stable like a whirlwind, twister, hurricane … or at least it feels like that.
I’m grateful I have enough, a safe home, love in my life, kindness and faith that the universe will take care of everything I don’t feel able to. Everything is all right, nothing to worry about, a new chapter of my life began and it’s perfectly ok to have a smooth transition, there’s no need for any cut. Step after step, one thing after another, letting the old go, welcoming the new, bearing the inbetween, the grief, sadness, the curiosity, uncertainity, the open and the finished. Life is change and this major lifechange reached its last phase, where there is less to let loose and more new & different to come. I’m grateful that today was better than yesterday and tomorrow is another day. ODAAT 
I’m grateful I’ve been waking up early, maybe I’m finally rested.
I’m grateful for coffee, black delicious coffee.
I’m grateful for strawberry waffles with peanut butter, maybe I eat breakfast today, maybe I don’t but knowing its an option fills me with gratitude.
I’m grateful my Mom is at rest. I don’t believe in heaven but for a reunification story between her and my Dad I will believe. I can feel them looking down on me today.
I’m grateful I have friends, family and my husband for my Mom’s funeral this weekend. The older I get the less I like crowds, or blast from the past reunions or organized religion. I’ll be grateful to have people around who know me and love me.
I’m grateful Kleenex makes travel packs.
I’m grateful I’ll test drive my new waterproof mascara on Friday night before I wear it all day Saturday and cry my eyes out.
I’m grateful my friends suggested dinner on Sunday after all of this is over. My inclination is to sit on the couch when connection is what I really need. Crying with people is normal and I’m on a weekend mission to normalize sadness. I think I can get that done in 3 days right?
I’n grateful I finally understand that drinking brings fuck all to the table. A drink would make everything I am feeling and going through 10,000 times worse. Alcohol sucks, bring on the grief so I can make room for the gratitude. 🩷 I’m grateful for this space.
Gratitude for today.
Woke up early, did some yoga and got on the rower. Grateful to have the energy back and grateful I have the rower, cause I would not have gotte out in the dark and rain to run. So rowing it is for the darker season.
Went to couple‘s counseling. It was hard work. Any therapy is hard work. I am grateful for it though. I am learning a lot about myself, about my part in the dissolution of my marriage, about my own patterns, about what I want and need in a relationship. Very grateful for this opportunity.
My mum came to pick up my daughter and take her to her dance school. Her migraine was persistent today, but they had a viewing of their performance and she enjoyed the time there. I am so grateful for my mum being there, for her helping out every way she can, for the great relationship I have with her, the great relationship my daughter and her have, for my daughter being able to attend the viewing and have fun with her friends and team mates.
Last week was a total downer energy wise. This week has improved masively. I had not only the energy to do my morning workout but also for my yoga class this afternoon. I am extremely grateful for that. Not being able to move, workout and do sports is always a massive drain on my mental health.
I was asked to step in to cohost a Dharma meeting for someone who had to be evacuated due to the hurricane in Florida. I am grateful I can be of some little help.
I am grateful for the way life changes, I am grateful for this day.
Sleep tight sober friends 
Grateful that days that are hard will not live forever.
Grateful that someday I will smell, taste and be able to cry again.
Grateful that I have a strong heart, regardless what I have been through my heart is tough as hell. I am sure I get that from my father or his side of the family. Pretty much have never been issues with that on that side.
Grateful my brain is maniacal and when directed appropriately it can do most things.
Grateful for that guy who makes this thread seem necessary. Some of you, I have watched and read for a long time. There’s something to be said about being in this forum since 2016.
Grateful for a huge fall of desire to write that book I have always wanted to write. Perhaps I should push my brain there?!? Who knows…
I’m grateful for

My friends on TS:heart:
Not sure if you mentioned before - is your jaw issue due to TMJ? Have you gotten anywhere with your dentist? Mine offered PT for the jaw muscles and also got a night splint to wear (called Silent Nite - you can google it) that helps open up the jaw at night and helps reduce pain. Not sure if this will help with what you are dealing with but wanted to share in case it does.
Wednesday gratefulness - sharing with all you beautiful souls. I want in on this new style @19801 and @Dazercat
resting when my body needs to rest
setting up Facebook marketplace to sell some of my larger items that are being stored at my parents place
realizing scams when they happen and shutting that BULLSHIT down
my mom making a lovely dinner which I was able to enjoy when I went to try and sell the bedroom set
for having enough energy to go and meet the person interested in the bedroom set
homemade bread that I made yesterday. Turned out amazingly well and luckily I was able to remove the baked on wax paper (forgot to grease it before baking)
for my family
for my Higher Power
for my faith in my body’s ability to heal and continue to recover

I am enough. Actually I am the better person I always wanted to be. Still striving to be better with the help from GOD
for those who show love for me
Oh man I’m sorry you’re dealing with TMJ too. The appointment is so far out. Not sure if your system allows for you to be in a cancellation list so you can get an earlier appointment in case someone cancelled?
Glad you have a night splint. Mine helps to some degree when it is usable. I ended up shattering the first one within 6 months due to grinding and my new one I’ve managed to break all the bands and am waiting for new ones. Luckily I have my mouth guard as a back up. This is what I use during the day for now but I like your idea of getting a split appliance for the day. I’ll look into that as well - do hope it helps.
Wishing you relief with your jaw pain.
Im so very greatful for
A new day
My growing recovery

Grateful that I am here.
Grateful that no matter what things seem, reality generally ends up better, even in the long run.
Grateful that my son is going to a concert tonight. Though I can’t go, I am glad he is still able to with friends.
Grateful for much I don’t acknowledge. Sometimes it doesn’t come forward and I need to bring it and see it.
For this place today. I did not sleep last night, and am being knocked around by PTSD symptoms. I have made a ton of progress but suddenly, I had a setback yesterday that caught me off guard. My heart and thoughts raced, Adrenaline wouldn’t stop. I relived it for hours. Now it’s another day, and I am here taking care of myself. My mind and body. I’m going to come out of this. Soon.
