This morning, I am simply grateful for life.
Grateful I awoke to come to work.
Some people are physically incapable of doing so. I am grateful I CAN.

- Grateful my good mood got a little funky so I could come to TS and reset. So many things and people can possibly be such a drag on you, but itās a choice! My mind is no one elseās. Stand guard
- Grateful I am seeing what matters and what doesnāt. Iām in an area that is uptight, angry, competitive- itās a boomtown and that boom is fading fast. Suddenly there are layoffs, budget cuts, no one can afford a homeā¦the place isnāt nearly as cool as advertised. Itās painful being sold a dream that isnāt real. Marketing hype. People who were suffering elsewhere made the leap. Traffic is horrific and there is no public option. And now we again wonder about blackouts. Reality is setting in. So when someone is hostile to me, I need to remember. Iām not struggling, I am fortunate. Itās not about me. Compassion.
- Grateful I can make my home elsewhere. I no longer have any ties or obligations here. Iām fortunate that I lived years in cheaper times where you could save more.
- Grateful for the excitement I feel when I research my next home in the Southwest US. I wonāt rush, because Iām focused on where Iām going, not where Iām coming from. When I was drinking I always wanted out, and never had a solid plan. It was just ārun!!ā
- Grateful for a kitchen full of easy eats for a hot summer
- Grateful for air conditioning!! And no power alerts today
- Grateful for your understanding and support. I canāt say it enough, youāve saved my life! Iām isolated but have your support. Means the world.
- 114 days alcohol-free.

I am grateful to be back in the city. I was lonely in the countryside, as beautiful as it was and as much as I also enjoyed the time out. I am grateful I am aware of the underlying cause and am ready to do something about it. I am grateful I am no longer covering it with alcohol. I am grateful I stopped by at my little patch of garden and brought home tons and tons of salad and red beet. Itās healing to see things grow. I am grateful for change.

Iām grateful Iām sober
The night was crappy, old boy miowing and irritating, bigfoot puking and me cleaning up twice, me having weird dreams.
Iām grateful I opened the windows at 2 a.m. and closed them at 8 to keep it cool. Iām grateful I caught 3 hours of uninterrupted restful sleep in the cool morning air.
Iām grateful I take it easy during this dammed heat. I stayed indoor all day, blinds closed. The only way to avoid summer depression for me. Iām grateful I did chores and cooked a wonderful meal, green beans and lamb chop in tomato sauce with rice, both heavily flavoured with herbs, chilli and garlic. Heaven in a pot 
Iām grateful for my old boy cuddling up to me. He seems to feel better than yesterday.
Iām grateful one of the people I asked for help will come over on friday. Mounting lamps! Iām happy. Making the farmhouse even more nice & comfy. No, the finances with the ex are still not settled and I donāt give a shit. Focussing on me and my life and living ODAAT.
Iām grateful after I felt angry and stuck for days or weeks (?), the house and me are becoming clean, tidy and organized again.
Iām grateful I appreciate all the work I do, babysteps, routines, working hard, taking it easy, thingking, doing, reflecting, starting again, going back to basics, picking up where I lost track, every day is a little step towards the best life Iāve ever had. Iām grateful it is already a good life
Iām so tired I might fall asleep way before bedtime and thatās purrfectly ok as the old boy still cuddles between my legs like a relaxed fluffball. Iām grateful for cats, friends, reading and the reclusive life I live. Iām grateful I give myself the ME time I need and donāt force me to do things I donāt feel comfortable with. Iām grateful I treat myself kindly. Problems can wait. ODAAT

- good food
- the long and extensive talk I had with my ex, first steps towards healing, however this might look
- my daughter having a really good work day
- a short bike ride just for the fun of it
- getting stuff done
- having this space of kind and mindful awareness available in moments of difficult mood swings and uncomfortable situations
- being ok with my eating and the crazy cravings my hormonal changes sometimes bring with them
- relaxing Yin Yoga
- the day coming to an end on a really good note
- Recovery Dharma meeting I am looking forward to

I am grateful I was an hour and 20 mins early for my chiro appointment, ooops. I am grateful that I get to watch highschool grads have fun at the beach on one of their last days of school. I am grateful for the time to write out my gratitude.
I am grateful for Temple Grandin and the books she has written. I am grateful for her knowledge and perspective of Autism and the guidance she can offer to parents like me.
I never wanted kids, I knew how much children taught a parent and I was convinced I knew all I needed to know. I had requested in my late 20ā s to have my tubes tied, the Dr refused, he said i was too young. Fast forward about 4 years and I wanted to get clean from meth, the only way I could even consider not putting dope in my body was if i was doing it for someone else, so I got pregnant. (Addicts often have the worst ideas in active addiction) I am grateful that by the grace of god I was able to stay off drugs and have a clean baby. It was truly a miracle. Anyways where I am going with this is thatā¦ I am grateful that my kiddo chose me. This child that I have has taught me so, so much. I am grateful that I found a boatload of humility as soon as I looked into her eyes. I fell into them, she is so wise. I am grateful for everything we teach each other and I am looking forward to everything I will get to learn from her in the years to come.
Congrats on everyoneās cleantime.

Grateful to plant out my pumpkin seedlings into my new raised bed. Iām looking forward to growing rhubarb and gooseberries and potatoes and who knows what else.
Grateful for an afternoon pottering around the garden, thereās so much to do, I donāt know where to start.
Iām grateful for online meditations and morning stretch routines, a nicer way to start my day than mindlessly reading on my phone.

- I am sad. Hate it. It hits me every single year at this time: summer. Itās hard to stay motivated. But in mid-August it disappears. The days are too long, combined with high heat/humidity and Iām cooped up indoors too much. So the grateful part is, it will end in August! I donāt have to drink over it. Just try to make it bearable.
- I have air conditioning! Really good unit. And if it fails I can go to a hotel until itās repaired.
- Medicine for muscle spasms.
- Great food.
- I have 115 days sober
- My friends here. It is not easy.
