@earnit Wishing you luck. Hope you hear back about that job soon :pray:
@Peace Grateful when we can get that release - hope you are feeling better after that cry :hugs: A low key day sounds lovely.
@Davina_Davis AH Yes ā€“ will be sad to see this beautiful season end. I am enjoying the beautiful weather we have been getting and grateful that it is not too hot or too cold. Not a fan of the upcoming season so gonna hold onto this one as long as I can :laughing: Only 4 days till Halloween :jack_o_lantern:
@BillsMafia13 Great to see you posting and wonderful job on your 54 days! Congrats on your $0 in debt! Thats gotta feel really good. Love that you are doing so well in your recovery - keep up the great work!

Monday morning gratefulness :pray:
:mage: I am so very grateful for a chill day yesterday. I so needed it after all the running around in the past few days.
:mage: I am so very grateful for my coffee. Love the smell and the taste - really is awakening and comforting me as I sit in bed writing my gratitudeā€™s
:mage: I am so very grateful for making a huge dent in cleaning out my brothers garage. Hopefully Iā€™ll finish with it today and move on to the last bit to sort through.
:mage: Minimizing and letting go of my possessions has not been an easy road (in theory I am ready and want to let go but still feel attachments to things). It is going to be a process and I will be so grateful when it is all over and behind me.
:mage: I am so very grateful to chat with my sister yesterday. She has been so busy lately and it was nice to quickly catch up with her. Hoping to see her this weekend. Its been too long.
:mage: I am so very grateful for good friends that are like family and I can be 100% myself around. They can see me with my symptoms and not treat me differently or pity. Grateful that we will be getting together for Horror movie night on Halloween (only 4 days away :scream: ) Grateful we have our movie picked out and hope that it delivers. My brothers neighborhood does not get any trick or treaters so that is a bummer but I still keep the light on just in case.
:mage: I am so very grateful for a beautiful sunny day. Hope to go for a walk shortly. Grateful that it is hoody weather and I can enjoy the cozy hoody while the sun beams on.
:mage: I am so very grateful for my family. Grateful to have them in my life and grateful that we are so close in our relationships and in vicinity.
:mage: I am so very grateful my Higher Power and His guidance
:mage: I am so very grateful for this community and all the support I receive here.

Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day - sending you all so much love :heart: :heart:

Monday gratitude.
Today Iā€™m grateful for

  • ordering a truckload of sand to prepare my loamy soil for the (wild) flower seeds that need a dry, more sandy soil. Iā€™m utmost grateful for making this call. Making calls on something I have neither experience nor any knowledge about gives me horror. Another item ticked off the feeling-helpless-because-the-ex-always-cared-for-it list. Iā€™m grateful that I feel proud of myself. I overcame my anxiety because I want something more than Iā€™m afraid of the way to get there :pray: Thatā€™s real progress.

  • nice, delicious, homemade food and HALT

  • rewarding me with a big cup of hot chocolate for being such a badass adult today

  • killing staghorn sumac with the chainsaw, lotsa work until this area will be free from that fucking invasive plant.

  • leaving the cleanup for another day

  • starting to clean up what was left from the work & workers

  • going for a short walk

  • heating the kitchen stove

  • making kindlings and stored it

  • nice chats on the phone

  • ginger tea

  • a shower after working outdoor

  • calling my lawyerā€™s office - yes, the financial settlement notice arrived at his office but obviously there is something additional to do so he did not forward it yet. Iā€™m grateful Iā€™m not worried. Itā€™s nothing within my control.

  • cats. My three sweethearts make me smile every day. They are my sunshine.

  • feeling bitchy in the afternoon, fog, grey, this weather is depressing. Iā€™m grateful I acknowledge that I get moody and dig myself out of it. It was a productive, good day and therefor this grumpy bitch got a big hot chocolate that immediately improved my mood.

Iā€™m grateful Iā€™ll go to bed very early, Iā€™m tired, content, feeling peaceful and safe. Have a good sober day fellows. ODAAT

OOH - so how short are you going? Do you have a cut in mind or just going shorter?

4 Likes

No idea. I might just get a cool trim or I might chop it all off. I reserve the right to decide tomorrow. :star_struck:
I havenā€™t had a cut since February so Iā€™m a bit long and scraggly.

I am grateful for this thread as it has taught me to be grateful. Thank you!

Aaah. Let the mood guide ya ā€¦ Iā€™m sure youā€™ll look and feel great with whatever you decide :blush:

Before this last cut my hair hadnā€™t been even trimmed for over 3 years so I get the desire to chop it all off :joy:

Tuesday gratitude.
Today Iā€™m grateful for sunshine, a beautiful autumn day. Iā€™m grateful I got up early, this time change is annoying. Iā€™m grateful for journalling, for searching information, for thinking a lot and coming up whith solid plans.

Iā€™m grateful I spent money on things I really need and that make my life & work easier.

Iā€™m grateful I met my ex when I came home from massage. He told me where to find the stacks I need to build the fall protection along the stonewalls. Iā€™m grateful they are already here. The first 4 are up. Need adjustment and I need different screws but: 4 are up :+1:(16 to go, it will take a while).
I got a truckload sand delivered and to reward myself for fumbling stacks into mounts, each one individual fit - I loaded sand and dropped it on my future (wild)flower bed. Yeah, this is so much fun. Order a truckload and go play in the sand, adult version :blush:
Iā€™m grateful for my little tractor.

Iā€™m grateful the tilers proceeded with their work today.

Iā€™m grateful I did kitchen chores, cooked healthy, heated the furnace, skipped all other household chores and took time to pet the cats.

Iā€™m grateful Iā€™m already in bed, tired, sober, content, calm, serene, a cat on my legs, the heated pillow in my back. Good night :people_hugging: ODAAT
