Saturday gratitude.
I’m grateful for today. It’s our national holliday and I watched some of the annual procedures & festivities on TV. I’m grateful we honor democracy and being neutral today and celebrate being a neutral democratic country. This is nothing anyone should take for granted. I’m grateful for freedom and peace and the opportunity to vote. For free speech, safety, a reliable legal system. I’m grateful to live where I live.
I’m grateful that I went to bed very early yesterday, the day was intense and so was the headache in the evening. I’m grateful the car got its wintercheck, the dentist said everything is fine, the tilers started to work on the deck surrounding, the farmers market provided me with fresh salad and bread for the weekend. I was really knocked out yesterday evening.
I’m grateful flower & herb seeds arrived this week, only one order is pending. I prioritized vacuuming / steam-mopping the floor this morning, I didn’t feel like being out in the grey doing garden work. Holy Molly, the floor needed this deep cleaning. I’m grateful the entrance door got a washdown, looks better but needs more detailed cleaning. And rubbing, removing spots of plastering. I’m grateful I honor my beautiful, cozy home by keeping it tidy as good as I can. I’m delighted and grateful every time I look at it on the outside, what a difference to before. I’m grateful I force myself to focus on being happy and grateful and stopping thoughts about all the work that is still waiting. NOW I be happy, rest of work will be done when it gets done. Not now. Basta! Now: Happy! No worry. (Thanks for borrowing the lines Bobby McFerrin😊)

I’m grateful for another morning I get to feed my cats and dog and they always bring me smiles and they make me giggle before coffee.
I’m grateful I get to go to bed with one cat or another and Benson. Always Benson.
I’m grateful I can easily slide him over off my side of the bed and he doesn’t growl at me. It’s actually kind of funny when I smoothly slide him over.
I’m grateful I can see humor shits and giggles in many things.
I’m grateful for my hikes and how accessible my hikes are in my hood.
I’m grateful for my garden as it’s always surprising me with its blooms.
I’m grateful my roses and birds of paradise are blooming again.
I’m grateful Mavy just got on my lap and settled in quickly.
so so so grateful for this catio and my catio mornings. And my catio dinners and catio nights.
I’m grateful I can hear the bird song along with my mantra music
I’m grateful for the big black cawing crows or ravens that just stopped by on the top of the two trees I can see out the top of the catio. Hey guys
:black_large_square:
I’m grateful to watch Mavy observing the murder. And just like that. They’re gone.
I’m grateful for another day and hopefully the nightmare will be over soon.
A closed mouth gathers no foot.
I’m grateful
- for the longer hike I could take today. I checked out a trail I’ve been wanting to try out. It was definitely more strenuous but a beautiful and just what I needed!
- for hot tea and soup when I came home. Oh and cheesy scones baked with fresh rosemary
- for my dogs
- for a relaxing day being outdoors and then just chilling at home after
- for my friend S
- that I can live here and how simple the way of life here is.
- for the mountains and it’s unpredictable weather
- for my warm and cozy house
Gratitude for today.
I am grateful I can hold my center in stressful situations. I was able to juggle a few unplanned things, keep my boundaries and take care of shit. I felt like hero. I am grateful I could experience myself in this way.
I am grateful for great weather.
I am grateful my daughter was invited by friends for pumpkin carving. A rare opportunity around here.
I am grateful I got all my chores done.
I am grateful I had plenty of time to sit in the sun, read, and chill.
I am grateful I know the digestive discomfort is just that and will be gone tomorrow.
I am grateful I found a very interesting video game and had plenty of time today to play.
I am grateful my ex is aware of his problems and trying hard to walk new paths. I am grateful we got to hold hands today and be connected.
I am grateful the day is almost done.
I am grateful for this day, grateful for this life.
Sleep tight sober friends
Grateful that I am against seven other people for a job I would like to have. Income is low but I am passionate about the products they represent and what their custom business is.
What a most lovely post!
I AM GRATEFUL TODAY. YES I AM SHOUTING!
Wash machine drain line unclogged by hubby! No more laundry mat !
That really made me laugh! I can feel the joy!
I am grateful for the wonderful day I had yesterday. It was harvest time for my little community garden spot and I spent it with my childhood friend and her daughters.
It’s tradition, that at the end of the season the vegetables that have not been harvested by then will be shared among everyone. We were quite a large group of people yesterday and I truly wasn’t expecting to be going home with more than a few leaves of kale Yet, someone came up with a really fair distribution method. The group was divided in two, and group 1 ‘gives’ people from group 2 a portion of the vegetables available. Then groups are switched, and group 2 gifts group 1. I still cannot believe how full everyone’s basket turned out to be.
I am really grateful for this reminder of peoples willingness for cooperation and generosity.
Grateful its sunday, sunny, a granny visit ahead and a hangoverfree morning. Again
I’m grateful Mavy snuggled in on top of me next to Benson and that Benson is a good sport and let him.
I’m grateful for the 2 lap warmers I have and my blanket.
I’m grateful the coffee was good this morning, the espresso as shot as well.
Grateful the dog fart isn’t so bad
I’m grateful for TS and all my friends here and the great support we give each other.
I’m grateful for music, especially digging out some of the greats from 30 - 40 years ago
I’m grateful for David Bowie, Tina Turner, Freddy Mercury, Phil Collins and Genesis.
I’m grateful to lean on my Higher Power of music in difficult times.
I wish I didn’t have to get up and go to a meeting because I got Benson and Mav all settled in here still with my mantra and it’s just such a beautiful thing.
I’m grateful I think I will go now. Get off the app and just sit here the next 10 minutes with them and be where my feet and lap are before I have to disturb it all and leave.
Love you guys.
I’m grateful

Grateful for the two relationship mentors / relationship counsellors who have been meeting with my wife and I every 3 months for the last 6 years as we’ve navigated challenging times in our life (which has been challenging externally, but also internally, and our marriage has needed some guidance).
Grateful for the change of seasons. It is getting colder and the leaves are falling off the trees now where I am. This means the season of rest and renewal - winter - will soon be here.
Grateful for my wife’s pragmatism and support. We spoke yesterday and she agreed to take on the financial administration aspects of our family business. That is a great relief to me and I am very grateful to her for the help
I am grateful to be sober and not hungover and wondering what happened last night

I am grateful for a wonderful hike in beautiful foggy fall weather.
I am grateful for public transport.
I am grateful for good food. Eating after a hike the food just tastes sooo good. I am grateful I could take my time and enjoy the meal.
I am grateful I did my weekly review today and am prepared for the week to come.
I am grateful for a nice relaxing yoga practice today. I feel I could get into something more taxing, and I am going to finish the current programm and transition to a more intermediate one at the end of the week.
I am grateful for all the energy I had today, and the peace of mind.
I am grateful for the new game I started - Elsinore. It is clever and entertaining. It‘s a logt of fun to play and a very good example of great artisanship in terms of game design.
I am grateful my daughter got interested in the game and we played a bit together. The game is only in English, but with my help she got the gist of the dialogues.
I am grateful we are preparing for tomorrow, school start after fall break,
I am grateful my daughter’s migraine episodes lessened in frequency, length and intensity. I very much hope this is the new medication doing its magic.

Sleep tight sober friends
Sunday gratitude.
I’m completely knocked out on the couch, feet on my heated pillow, cat on my legs, tea beside me. I’m deeply grateful for this
I’m grateful for the warm sunshine today, everyone’s mood improved instantly.
I’m grateful for service on TV.
I’m grateful my always aching thumb made it through all I did today.
I’m grateful I proceeded with steam-mopping the floors. Still way to go, deep cleaning is no fun.
I’m grateful I sorted the seeds and didn’t forget to water all the plants outdoor.
I’m grateful one balcony is clean and tidy. The second is work in progress.
I’m grateful I deep cleaned the bathroom.
I’m grateful for a good talk with a lovely, caring friend
I’m grateful for my neighbours.
I’m grateful for my beautiful, comfy house.
I’m grateful for autmn colours.
I’m grateful I checked the finances and decided to reschedule the paving planned for november. I can’t afford it this year, it has to wait. I’m grateful I’m able to pay the closing bills for all the work. It’s a tight budget for the next 6 months but it was worth investing in finishing the facade, driveway and stonewalls. I’m happy and grateful every day multiple times.
I’m grateful for catlove, 5,5 kg sleeping, snorring fluffball on my legs and 4 kg oldtimer approaching me for cuddles is priceless.
I’m grateful that I’m too tired to miss my mum, my ex, a partner in general. I’m grateful I lie on the couch, relaxing, nothing to think about, nobody to care about, no triggers for codependency. I’m so tired today I really apprechiate to be alone. People are very easy too peopley for me these days.
I’m grateful the time change didn’t hit me too bad today. I’m grateful half my clocks adjust automatically.
I’m grateful for HALT and that waking up sober never gets old. ODAAT
Grateful for your gratitudes!!
Grateful for a cooling trend, shouldn’t be above 80 much this week. Finally.
Grateful for a great SMART meeting today.
Grateful for my Kindle and that my local library stocks all of the books I want to read. What an amazing thing for a reader like me.

Have a wonderful Monday, friends! (Yes, tomorrow is Monday my retired pal @Dazercat )
We will sure miss the season when it’s over, right @JazzyS
